We had a wonderful whirlwind of birthdays in August - Friday, August 8th was my Dad's birthday, and we took my parents out to dinner.
Saturday, August 9 was Ed's birthday - we started out with a trip to Georgia Aquarium
where we especially enjoyed the antics of the sea lions anticipating feeding time!
We also enjoyed watching the whale sharks, massive groupers, hammerheads, rays, and other large fish in the humongous aquarium.
Saturday night, we had a group of friends over for a fantastic steak grill out for Ed's birthday - I overestimated the steak needs, so we ate steak most of the next week! It was much fun to host a birthday dinner for my hubby! (And we were mighty proud of our combined efforts - my marinade and Ed's grilling - we'll definitely have to do more!)
Happy Birthday, Ed!! 
We enjoyed other special meals with friends on Jeanie's porch (which currently seems to serve as our dining room). Jeanie did the food for our wedding, which was phenomenal - and she sets a very pretty table!
Sunday lunch with Jeanie, Vince, and Alvin - while Jeanie did the food for our wedding, Alvin did our flowers, and Vince worked his tail off wherever needed to make our wedding day extra special!
We had a little extra adventure - my dad's residency papers for Cameroon got lost while they were here - something we discovered at the airport! So, we had to send my mom on by herself (she wasn't very excited about that), and I got to keep my Dad for an extra 10 days while we waited for my Dad's visa from the Cameroon Embassy - it was touch-and-go, so my Dad was very excited when it finally showed up as scheduled, in time for his flight out the next day! Fortunately he got back to Cameroon without further incident!
...And the birthdays continued - our friend Heather had her birthday just a few days before...
her son Thomas' birthday! Doesn't he look like a little executive in a party hat and pacifier?
