Saturday in Atlanta

Unexpectedly we travelled to Atlanta for the weekend for a funeral. One of Chris' friends passed away from a longtime illness, so while it was not entirely unexpected, we did not know when the day would come. We were glad to be able to make it there during that meaningful time.

We stayed with Chris' parents and got to see family. On Saturday night, Chris' brother and his three daughters came over for dinner (Mama had to work). John is suddenly at an age when he loves playing with his cousins and basically ignores me as long as he knows I am a home base somewhere nearby and haven't had the audacity to wander off and truly leave him alone. The kids had great fun playing with the electronic keyboard:
John received private piano lessons from his three-year-old cousins Sophia.

Miss Sophia is talented in various arts, so also gave John and their grandmother dancing lessons:

John and Sophia were little engineers playing with the piano stand, removing and replacing the little feet repeatedly.

In the evening, the older cousins had fun riding skateboards on their bottoms.
