A Day at the Beach

We finally took Noah to the beach. It's terrible that we live about 30 minutes away from the beach and we still hadn't taken him to experience the wind and the waves. This last week brought some cooler weather our way, so when we woke up this morning and the sun was shining, we decided we better take advantage of the beautiful day. Overall, it was fun. Noah was pretty hesitant with everything, but he sure did enjoy eating the sand.




Then we came home and got a nice, refreshing bath!



After we got cleaned up we decided to go out for pizza. Noah had such a long day and he was a trooper, but he was worn out by the time we finally got home.


He even stayed asleep while I changed him into his pajamas. Maybe he'll sleep in tomorrow morning! :)

Will it ever slow down?

Things have been a little hectic lately, but they seem to be settling down. As I mentioned very briefly, I was recently promoted. I am now a supervisor. No matter what field you're in, a supervisor usually tends to have more responsibility because they "supervise" a group of people, and it's no different in my case. I have more responsibility and I have a team of people that I supervise. Unfortunately, on the job training is the ONLY kind of training available for this new position, hence the hectic days. The upside is that the days go by very quickly. I've only begun this new position, and you might hear a lot more about it as time passes, but then again, you might not. Even though this job isn't half-bad, I'd much rather talk about Noah!

So onto my boys... Noah and Billy are both sick. They both have colds. No fun. Noah has been waking up with a snot-crusted nose and I feel so bad for him. The poor little guy. But that seems to be the worst of it, so hopefully they can kick it without it getting too bad (and without me catching it). Noah's eyes have been puffy and he's had a runny nose this week, but here are some pics from a few weeks ago to remind you how cute he is!

How 'bout them Cowboys!

Did I mention how much I love the Cowboys? I stayed up until midnight last night. I normally go to sleep between 9 and 10 because I'm up at 5:00 am and staying up until 12:00 am is not easy for me. I am dragging today... but it was worth it to watch the Cowboys win! It was a very entertaining game with an awesome ending!

"Romo took two knees and that was it, the Cowboys moving to 2-0 with a 41-37 victory in the last game ever to be played on Monday night at Texas Stadium."

A Fantasy Tragedy

The updates on us:

• Billy is home safe and sound.
• Noah just turned 10 months old.
• I got a promotion.

There will be more information to come on those things, but I have to get to the important stuff.

I've been completely excited about football season. First of all, I LOVE the Dallas Cowboys. I've loved them since I was a little girl and my older sister would sneak me out of bed to watch them when they were on late at night. A few years ago Billy got me to join a fantasy football league and I had my first fantasy team. I came in 2nd place that year and I was hooked. My team last year came in 2nd to last, but I blamed that on lack of sleep, lack of time, and my whacked out hormones (all thanks to my wonderful son!). So this year I was set to redeem myself. I was 2nd in the draft and stoked because I got Tom Brady. Who can go wrong with Tom Brady? He's an awesome QB, has a great team, a decent offensive line (so Billy says), and on top of all that, he's hot! Who could ask for more? I'm set for the season and I can taste victory. Then what happens?!?!?! He doesn't even get to finish the 1st quarter of the 1st game of the season before he gets taken out with a knee injury. And, poof, he's gone for the rest of the season. Even though, as Billy would say, "there's plenty of ball left to be played", my fantasy team isn't looking so good right now and the taste of victory has been replaced with something that doesn't taste quite so sweet.

RIP - Tom Brady

But I still love my boys!!!
