Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day!  War Eagle, Wahoowa, and Go Jackets!  It was a happy, winning weekend of football for the Roughen household.  Weekends during which all teams win are few and far between, I'm afraid, usually due to the less-than-mediocre Cavaliers... so we must celebrate them as they come.

Our weekend was jam-packed with fun events and new friends.  On Friday, September 2nd, we celebrated Tripp's great-grandmother's 80th Birthday.  Cokey was joined by all of her friends and family at The Club, overlooking Birmingham, to share memories, a breath-taking view, yummy food, and strong drinks.  Pictures to come from that party... It was fun!

Then, we headed to the lake for college football (finally!), more yummy food, cold beer, and the meeting of the cousins.  Ann Fulton (1 year old) and Tripp (3 months old) had a chance to check each other out.  Below are some pictures from the first of many cousin photo sessions.

Checking Each Other Out...  

Tripp's Reaction:  Ew.  Girls Have Cooties!

Ann Fulton's Reaction:  Why is he so loud?

After a few minutes, the two cousins warmed up and played together well. 

... and by the end, they were fast friends.  Looking forward to the next meeting already!

... and now we are back in Atlanta, safe and sound, despite the severe weather due to Tropical Storm Lee.  Hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready for the (short!) week of work!
