Superheroes

I picked up these PJ's on a recent Target run. Grant & I had a good laugh!



The Bat Signal goes out - Griffy makes a mad dash for the Batmobile.



Maybe not so fast next time.

My New Title

I'm known as a lot of things: mom, wife, sister, daughter, in-law, and friend. Recently I've added a new title to my list... COACH! No, it's not a typo! I'm coaching Mad's soccer team, the Wyatt Wolves. One week before the first soccer game, the original coach realized he wasn't going to be able do it. Without a coach there would be no team. I was dreading having to tell Maddox that he wouldn't be able to play soccer. What's a mother to do? According to the Plano Youth Soccer Association website, no soccer knowledge was required - sounds like I'm perfect for the job! I called the league director and I was in. Next, I panicked! I began speed dialing family members (somehow everyone in my family, but me, plays soccer). I got some great ideas and pointers from my family (thanks guys!) and was ready for our first practice. Luckily I have a great assistant coach, who has offered to handle the games - which is great for me, because half the time the referee blows the whistle I'm not really sure what it's for!

Preschool for Maddox

Mad's first day of school was Tuesday, September 4th. This year Maddox attends school 5 days a weeks compared to last year's 2 days a week. Ever since Maddox started school last week, he has not been in the best mood. Finally, today he hopped in the car and told me he had a great day! Hooray! Maddox told me about his new friend Joey and how they played freeze tag. Mad's next comment: "Mom, what's a dork?" ... and so it begins!

Our First Cruise

Armed with 3 packages of Dramamine we headed off for our first cruise! We met up with Stacy & Dan who are veteran cruisers (this is their third cruise, but first cruise with a baby). We had a great time. The best part was that we got to hang out with the Stacy, Dan & Mr. Carter for a week! Maddox is already asking when we get to go again.
