VT-BAMA & Gordon's visit with PaPa & Nana

The Virginia Tech football season started off with a road trip to Atlanta for the Hokies to face the Crimson Tide on Labor Day weekend.

It was the first time that we left Gordon...but he of course was in excellent hands with PaPa and Nana for the weekend. In fact Gordon got to meet and spend some time with his cousin Emma as well who also came to visit.


Emma: I had everything under control...

It was a great trip for us but we were reminded how quickly Gordon changes each day. He'd already been sleeping in his crib...and we knew he could roll to his tummy...however the first night we were gone he ended up rolling over to his stomach and sleeping that way (despite the attempts to put him back on his back)....HE'D NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE!!!!!

Ever since that night he has been sleeping on his side or tummy at some point during the evening. He is getting so strong and just changing so much every day....where does the time go????

So while Gordon, Emma, PaPa and Nana were having a full on Grandchild-Grandparent weekend, Gabe and I enjoyed our trip to Atlanta (in our new 4-door car; yes we traded in the 2-door and we know "You told us so..."). Here are a few pictures from the event.


Hanging at Dantanna's and around the CNN Center before the game(along with every other Hokie and Bama fan in town practically)





Tailgating before the game



Ready for the Hokies to take the field



We sat with David, Skye, Sarah & Jessica (Sarah's roommate)


Despite our loss to Bama we had a great time and the Hokies really did hang in there (DE-FENSE!!!) We were so happy to get home to see Gordon though...we missed him so much but of course he had a great time visiting with PaPa, Nana and Emma.
