We said goodbye to the summer, and said hello to my very favorite time of year. We kicked off the football season with the first UT game at our friend Bubba's house. And yes, all four of us had on our orange. Michael had on ESPN GameDay from the time the boys woke up, and I think he had a great time introducing them to his gameday tradition of smoking meat on his grill.
But the best part of the weekend was taking the boys to the zoo for the first time. They LOVED it, especially little Drew, who squealed and kicked his legs and threw his hands up in excitement at every new animal. Here are some of our favorite pictures of the day for you to enjoy. Thanks for checking in on us!
In the habitat for the meerkats you can go through this little tunnel and pop up in their little village to see them up close. Both Ben and Drew loved it. Just pretend that there are meerkats in the picture....the photographer was a little distracted.
This was by far Drew's favorite part. He and Daddy got to feed the parakeets and he wanted to hold them so badly. He just couldn't understand why they didn't want to play with him too. 
And this one wasn't taken at the zoo. It was taken at our favorite Sunday place to eat, Vittles. I just had to include it. Somehow this little buger chewed through the wrapper holding the butter in the packet, and he was enjoying every bit of it as you can see from his hands and cheeks. We tried to take it away (thoughts of clogged arteries by age 7 flashing before our eyes) but he screamed and cried so hard that it really wasn't worth the fight. Hence, the smile and showing us the butter that he likes to eat. What a stinker!

Now I know for sure that even though he looks like Michael, Ben is YOUR child.
...Remember Chicago, in the restaurant:
Heather and Katharine: "Waiter, can we have some more butter for the bread?"
Waiter: "Certainly. Usually women ask for no butter, but you want more. Ha, Ha, Ha."
Heather and Katharine: (not laughing)
ironically enough, that weekend was the very weekend we suspected that i might be pregnant! that very memory is making me laugh so hard and miss you so much! move back to nashville!!!!
