Go Fish


We had a wonderful weekend! Jeff and I enjoyed driving to Charlotte on Saturday and actually having time to talk to each other! :) We went to visit a best friend from college that I have lost touch with in recent years. Jessica was the first friend I met at college. College was a very hard time of my life, even though I didn't realize that while I was going through it. It was great to see her and catch up! She has a baby son Collin (8 months) and she was so hospitable with gifts and food. Her home was very warm and inviting; we wished we could have stayed longer to visit. We had to head out to the "Go Fish" concert. Brennan could not wait to see the concert. This is one of Brennan's favorite bands. (He is really into music)

Poop





We started the day on Friday with Brennan stepping in dog poop outside of Planet Child so Sharon brought us an extra pair of shoes. Brennan had a great time playing with Davis and Grayson and Sharon and I enjoyed talking and catching up on the past few weeks. Jenna loves PC, she clapped when we got there! Then we went shopping at Kohl's in Fuquay for the first time after dinner......it was fun, BUT Jenna had pooped out the sides of her diaper. So you can see why the title is appropriate for this day; but it was still a great day! :) After all poop is normal!

Celebration Dance

We did a celebration dance tonight after we got word that Brian was moved out of the hospital to the rehabilitation center. This will be a much better place for him and it is time for him to start working those muscles again! We are so happy he doing as well as he is just 26 days after a near fatal fall. We had a good week last week. At my MOPS steering team meeting, Christina and I were surprised with birthday cakes :) and after that I met my friends from our church dinner club at the Cheesecake Factory, can anyone say weight watchers? But it was a wonderful night out. It is always great to talk to other mothers of young children!
Brennan had a great computer bug class again last Thursday! Then on Friday, we went to a Corn Maze. We went with our wonderful friends Stephanie and Hailey. At first, Stephanie and I thought the farm was the beginning of a scary movie but then it turned out to be a fairy tale. I mean it really couldn't have been better. We got to ride a hay ride, go on multple tractor train rides, go through a corn maze and we missed the kids from the YMCA by an hour or so......so we had the place all to ourselves! Then Saturday, we took it easy......for the most part, ran a few errands. Sunday morning was quite hectic. Jenna did not want me to put her down pretty much all morning, and it was hard to "work" in the nursery. So Ryan came over and babysat when I went back to church in the afternoon and my sister, David, and Ryan ate dinner and put the kids to bed while I was at my meeting at church......so a busy afternoon and evening, BUT so much easier than the morning. Then on Monday, Vanessa and Landon came over part of the day and we made hand bats and pumpkin faces. They came back today (Tuesday) and we made pumpkin masks and decorated a pumpkin. Brennan is already so excited about Christmas, I have to super focus on the fall and what makes this season so wonderful! :) Vanessa and Landon are coming back tomorrow, which means I am missing my piano lesson:( I am trying to practice so I can play Christmas music by Christmas!
