Simba....

For my birthday, Nelson got us tickets to see The Lion King at Bass Concert Hall. We got tickets for Saturday night - the same night that his friend, Justin, and his wife, Melissa, were going. So we made a couples date night out of it! We picked them up and ate dinner at Vivo Cocina Mexicana, a yummy Mexican food restaurant off Manor. I'm still learning to take pictures of everything we do, so I forgot to get a group shot at dinner. But I did remember to take a couple at the theater.

On Sunday, we resumed our homeowner duties and cleaned up the backyard. We've been "blessed" with a lot of trees, but that means there are a lot of leaves, too. Nelson bought a leaf blower that also vacuums and mulches the leaves. I spent the afternoon raking the leaves into piles, and he spent the afternoon sucking them up.

I hadn't seen Jackson all week, so of course needed my baby fix before heading over to a Super Bowl party at our small group leader's house. He's so adorable and I love just looking at his sweet face :) I ended up watching him while Lindsay and Ben ran a few errands, which was so fun!

I thought he looked a little chilly, so I covered him up in a blanket....

Notice my purple Baltimore attire! Go, Falcons :)
