They emailed this to me today... what a fun trip!!

A Very Guenther Weekend!

As Guenthers do, the Guenthers rallied this weekend to come to Charlotte and build LuLu dog a fence of her very own... and it was a great weekend... thanks guys! We now have an awesome privacy fence in our yard, and Mike and I spent Sunday afternoon relaxing in the pool, enjoying the new view.
Keith has all but moved in at our house and has been Mike's right hand man through the whole process... we are so lucky to have Keith and Zoe in our lives... with them and SaeRae and our other great friends here... we've created our own Charlotte family.
We also celebrated 8 more years of Mom being cancer free and watched another of Kyle's triathalons... he is becoming quite the triathelete!
I'm off to the backyard to watch Mikey build a gate and hang out in the pool... no football till 10:20 tonight.

The greenest grass and the bluest sky...

527 feet from home plate! (And trying to block the lady leaning against the sign)



"Chipper is going to hit me a home run"... Mike to Rachel just before this picture!













Look at those ups!

Our gracious hosts Kyle and Leah... what a great weekend!








Mike finally got to see the greenest grass and the bluest sky... and it was awesome!

LuLu Update

LuLu went to the vet for her 14 week check up yesterday... Though she is not a big fan of people shining things in her eyes... she might've growled at the Vet a little... she did remarkably well other than that.
BIG NEWS- she is now 27 pounds!!! They are expecting her to be between 70-90 pounds when she is full grown...

Georgia on my mind...

Mike and I spent Saturday morning exploring the Georgia Aquarium http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/, Wow! This place is absolutely amazing... We loved the giant crabs, beluga whales, whale sharks and otters! Due to a highly classified Japanese technology, the 2 foot thick glass is seamless, and really allows you to feel as though you are part of the exhibits. In one really cool part, you are 15 feet under water, and get the view of North American lakes and rivers- a bass fisherman's dream... it was neat to see and experience such a cool place. When you go, buy tickets in advance online, and go EARLY in the morning... it is super crowded and the lines are long if you aren't prepared...

We give it five stars!
After the aquarium we took a walk through Olympic Park to the CNN Center and then The Varsity http://www.thevarsity.com/, delicious, trans fat free but still terrible for you, food. Yay for vacations! We enjoyed the rest of the day at Kyle and Leah's new place... too cute! LuLu played with her cousin Tyson and had a blast! After a little rest we headed to the Braves Game... a lifelong dream of Mike's to see the greenest grass and the bluest sky! Though we didn't win, we certainly had a blast! Here are a few pictures of the weekend... I'll post the Bravo's pics as soon as I upload them!
