OK...so it wasn't quite that dramatic, but today we took Audrey to her 1st Braves game! Apparently she brought them some (much needed) good luck :) Thanks to someone kind enough to share their season tickets with us, we had front row seats on the 3rd base side! And it sure was HOT!! Audrey had a great time - she will tell you that her favorite part was running the basepath in the kid's area. Why anyone would want to voluntarily sprint in that kind of heat is beyond me, but she sure enjoyed it. (we thought it was pretty cool that the bat boy gave her a ball, but she didn't really seem too impressed...)
We've had a fun summer filled with lots of family time. Audrey is really starting to love "swimming" at the pool and is growing increasingly more adventurous in the water. Ava is busy following Audrey around most of the day. She took her first steps not too long ago and for several days I thought her crawling days were over, but she's reverted almost completely back to crawling now. She doesn't really like the "crash & burn" method of learning. I can't blame her - I don't really like to learn that way either.
Ryan celebrated his 29th birthday a few days ago. I've been teasing him lots about being an old man. Ava's got a big birthday coming up in September.... I still can't believe it....
Ryan goes back to work tomorrow and I'm sad that the summer is ending - we've had such a great one. I will say there's a little part of me that will always find some excitement at the beginning of a school year... I guess in my mind it symbolizes a fresh start. (I need to go buy myself a box of tissues, some new crayons and a bottle of school glue for old times sake....oh, and a folder with 2 pockets & brads. ha....... or even better... a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper. with hot pink lips on the front. ) please tell me someone gets this....

OK...you SO should have been a teacher. And...I clicked on your blog as always and immediately went back to favorites to click on someone else's because there's never an update here. I almost missed it!! Yay, for updating. :)
I completely get it!! I went shopping with some little ones I know for "first day of school" outfits and it brought back so many memories!!
Lisa Frank? She was the coolest ever--I still have LF stickers that I put on my kids' papers from time to time last year! They were always so sparkly. :) Don't forget building a Trapper Keeper cubby hole so nobody can look on your paper too. :) Our students have been back for 3 days now and I'm glad to say I've survived thus far. How are you?
