Midnight Musings

Evan went to watch his cousin David graduate from Georgia Tech this weekend. Daddy forgot to take the camera, so we're stuck with second-hand photos from Karen, David's mother. Evan was amazingly good considering the five hours we sat in the Georgia Dome hearing speeches and watching people in black robes walk across the stage (including two trips for the masters students for some reason.)

Here's Evan and me before graduation in front of the Ramblin' Wreck.

We didn't bother to take any pictures of Evan during the ceremony. Part of that was because it was a graduation, and therefore largely uninteresting visually. The other part was that Karen and her camera moved to a location where she could see David more easily. We did get a couple of pictures of the kid with the graduate on a grassy knoll near the Dome. Oh, and Evan just started walking without any assistance a couple of weeks ago. At the time of the video, he'd only walk between us, but during a trip to Brunswick where we'd left Evan with my parents, he started launching himself into open space to walk wherever he felt like. Unfortunately, his bravery outmatches his balance. Hence the skinned nose and bruised forehead.


After graduation, we headed up to 5 Seasons in Sandy Springs for lunch. I happened to mention this in passing to Karen in conversation earlier in the day and it ended up turning into where we went. I'm not complaining. It's my favorite restaurant (and brewpub), but I didn't want to tell them where to go. Luckily, everyone seemed to like their food. Evan was awesome during the five-hour ceremony, but he ran out of gas on the trip to 5 Seasons.


I don't think Evan got to eat much table food here (he did eat half of a waffle for breakfast), but he ate a couple of containers of baby food. I'm really hoping that's water Mama's giving him in the straw.

Afterward, we hung out at the restaurant and talked.


And Evan took a little walk.
