First off, let me talk about Dalton's big accomplishment....he has started his first organized sport, soccer! Unfortunately we had to miss his first game since we were out of town but he did go to his first practice, see below pic! It was quite the scene to behold. I told Zack next time I am taking my Kindle and parking myself in a chair with my head down. Have you ever been to a child's sporting event where there is a really obnoxious parent trying to coach from the sidelines--you know the type, yelling their kid's name over and over again and telling them what to do? Well hello--that was me! In my defense, he totally did not get it and was running into other team's fields and basically just running around in general with no clue as to what was going on. Perhaps we should have waited another year for this little milestone but I will revisit the subject later in the season....game day this Saturday...fingers crossed! I will add that he absolutely loved it though and cried when we had to leave. I guess that's a good sign! :)
Also...on 9/9 I turned 30! I had a really wonderful birthday, we went to Provino's for my annual birthday dinner with the kids and then had date night on Saturday at Davio's, an Italian Steakhouse in Buckhead. The atmosphere was great as well as the company. :)
Birthday celebrations continued the whole next week as Dalton, Anna, and I all went to Virginia and North Carolina. We had a great time visiting Dad and Joanne, Mom, Dave, and Diane, and Ann, Amanda, and Colton. We even got to see Uncle Ed on our way home. Unfortunately I got very lazy about taking my camera out and didn't even get any NC pics...here is one from when we were in Va with Dad.
One of the best things we did the whole trip was wedding dress shopping with Diane! On Saturday Dalton went to Grandma's for a fun football filled day with cousin Colton while Anna and I went out for a girl's shopping trip. We had a great meal at Olive Garden and spent the entire afternoon at the Bridal Mart. How FUN!! Diane looks gorgeous in everything she put on and I know that no matter what she chooses she will be the most beautiful bride ever. I am sooo lucky to have such wonderful family...I just wish they weren't quite so far away!
Oh and a little PS--Anna is now sleeping in her crib! Now this is a milestone I must say I wasn't too excited about. I want to keep my little baby small for as long as I can! She is doing really well and waking up about every 5 hours on average, just to eat and then she goes right back to sleep! She really is such a good baby!
