E-A-G-L-E-S! Hoyas!!?

We took Reagan to her first in-person sporting event today – Georgetown vs UConn Men’s Basketball. One of the perks of working at a University! Reagan loved it, well, she was surprised by the first loud uproar and nearly cried, but then she was prepared and loved the rest of the game.

After a rough first half, the Hoyas pulled out a close one. Now, time for the Eagles game.

Practicing…

for my next visit with Papa and Grandma. I’m going to be an expert on that step!

Changes, changes…

After some discussion during our few days in Huron over the holidays, we decided the downstairs of our house was crying out for a big change. We answered the call and switched the front sitting room with the dining room and have created a much better living environment for ourselves. Reagan has the whole rug to play on and we can see her with just a little peek out the kitchen doorway. Once we get a baby gate and put it up on the big doorway, we’ll be all set and she won’t be able to get to the stairs.

 

And, don’t worry, the vacuum will not live there, but the baby carrier and stroller probably will.

Happy New Year!

This first day of 2010 also happens to be Reagan’s 7 month birthday. It wasn’t very exciting for her, since we’re working on getting back to some kind of routine after traveling for the last week. We spent part of the day at the mall and, more importantly, the Apple store, where Tim was finally able to get his iPhone. Reagan is very excited about it!

Reagan was lucky enough to open a gift today, too. There was one Christmas gift under the tree that we hadn’t opened. Thank you Aunt Nicole, Uncle Chris, and Cousin Vincent for the cool musical, rolling toy. I like it a lot, but I am too preoccupied with standing against chairs and couches to really appreciate it yet.

Oh, Snow!

We got 16-18 inches of snow on Saturday, along with most of the rest of the east coast. It made for a quiet weekend, which was kind of nice before our upcoming travels this week.

The left picture here is from the front door sometime mid-morning and the right picture is from Sunday, once we were pretty well cleaned up.

Reagan and I were quite happy to stay in the house all day Saturday. Tim shoveled the sidewalks 4 or 5 or 6 times, we kind of lost count.

Sunday, we decided to leave the house, first heading for Sidamo, which wasn’t open yet. So, I cleared out the car and we took a drive to Ikea to wander around and play with the kiddie toys.

 

A Busy Week

With Tim down in Atlanta this week, Reagan and I have been very busy. After dropping him at the airport Monday afternoon, we made a quick run through Costco, mostly to get diapers and formula, which made Reagan pretty happy. She's getting so big that she can sit in the cart seat and loves it.

Tuesday night, we had ladies' night at book club. It was a great night and despite it being a bit late, Reagan was a trooper and had a fabulous time with a wonderful group of women. Tonight, we took a drive through rush hour to my boss, Charles' house. It was busy and loud, but I think it was good preparation for travel and family visits for Christmas next week!

The biggest thing Reagan's done, though, is start crawling on her hands and knees. She's an expert army crawler, but this is a new skill. It's pretty funny, because she's kind of reluctant at first and really, most likely to try this when she's mostly naked. She's having fun, though, and I think she's going to just get moving faster.
