Satisfied - verb. sat-is-fied, To fulfill the desires, expectations, needs, or demands of (a person, the mind, etc.); give full contentment to.

I love busy weekends, and this last one certainly was busy. Caleb took Friday off which meant we got a three-day weekend and we took full advantage of it. Friday we went to Ikea and Home Depot, I finished off my garden (only to find out tonight will be 33 degrees, dang!). It was a gallery crawl night here in NoDa, so while our chicken roasted in the oven we took a really quick walk up the strip. On Saturday we went antiquing at the Metrolina, one of our favorite things to do when it's in town, usually once a month. We got home and cleaned and had some chicken and wild rice soup, nummy! Sunday was busy as usual, we had church and then a picnic and church softball, it was our service team Sunday so we were in our red shirts. After church we headed over to Dolce Vita, our new Sunday tradition with friends, the local wine bar. Friends and neighbors joined us into the early evening, then we migrated over to Solstice for dinner. All around a great weekend, here are all the pictures...
Me and X at the antique show, he's finishing off his snack.
He couldn't handle all the stuff and crashed, which was nice, he needs his naps.
Me and Caleb, I'm showing off my drink...it was actually hot, which was so nice. I noticed the next day that I actually got a little red in the shoulders...Ahhhh, sunburn, gotta love it!
My boys.
Having lunch outdoors, what a great weekend for our church picnic and softball game.
X loves playing, he chased around that bright yellow ball most of the day.
We arrived at Dolce Vita and Amanda's chair broke right under her, it was pretty funny.
Rob, Xander's entertainer, showed X around the bike, he loved it.
The wheels of a bug.
So cute in his little fedora.
It looks like a good story that I'm telling...
The end of the night, time to go home and go to sleep...we were all pretty worn out!

I can "feel" the story you're telling in the one photo.

And one other small note...I really, really hope that the "other guy" in the last photo is someone you know.

By "other guy" I am referring to the tattoo-riddled dude on the right hand side (background) of the last photo...
Looks like he wants to 1) Take a bite of X's ear or 2) Steal Caleb's hat or 3) Both
