Soccer Game update

So after doing some social stories and talking talking talking about soccer this week.  Walt said that he would play goalie first, they rotate playing goalie every quarter.  And then he said he might play for 3 min.  Well he did play goalie the first quarter and had a save.  Then rotated in just like all of the other kids and was happy and may have even had a goal!  He said "I really love these soccer games!"  YEA!  I didn't take my camera because I didn't want to jinx it!

Sleepy Francine

This morning when I went to get Francine up to start the day, she was just laying there in bed hanging out.  She wasn’t sleeping (although her eyes were closed in this picture because of the bright flash), she was just laying there with her head on her hippo pillow, and cuddling her blanket.  I took the blanket away as I was about to pick her up, and she just silently reached for it to pull it back over her.  I guess nobody wants to get up on a rainy day.

Happy 4th Birthday to Walt!

Well today Walt (our little guy) turned 4.  He loved his day.  Diane and Wally slept over to celebrate this mornign with us.  We went to Dennys.  He opened his presents.  He got some super hero costumes and some stuffed angry birds, he smiled so big with the birds and proceeded to play with them the entire afternoon.  We went over to Nik and Kelly's for a little chili, football, birthday party!  He was really in love with the day.  And he is now super sleeepy!
A cute quote for you from walt, "Mom, when I grow up I want to be a Daddy and I am going to change that sign to say YES fun, YES parties, YES birthdays, YES cake"  (there was a sign at the park today that said NO and listed things, and walt wanted to have his own).  You know today we gave him gifts, but he gives me gifts all the time.  We are lucky.

Wedding!

Last night we went to Jason Hedge's wedding.  He is Bob's cousin.  It was great, there was a small ceremony outside in a great city park and then the reception was close by.  The reception had a great band.  Francine and Walt both loved it.  Walt can't wait to the next wedding to dance more!






FIrst Soccer Game


Kind of.... Walt told us about 2 weeks ago that he was not going to play in the soccer games.  He LOVES practice, but for whatever reason does not like the games.  So today at his first game he sat on the bench, cried, and then I bribed him and he went in and cried for maybe 2 minutes.  Considering we have 2 games next weekend, we are hoping for better.

Welcome September!




We welcomed in September with a bunch of out of town guests.  My parents, jess, troy, and Rachel (Jess and Troy's college friend) all gathered at our house for the long weekend.  Jessica and Troy were in town to hopefully finalize some things for their wedding.  They booked the Old Cathedral for the ceremony and are between 2 places for the reception.  The kid loved having the extra vistors, they received a lot of attention.  Francine amazed them with how well she is walking around, and doing a lot of talking.  She has now added "ball" to her list of words that we can understand.  We took walt to the Big Muddy Blues Fest downtown StL yesterday.  He loved it and the weather was devine.  Our visitors all left by 8am, so we went to the park and Bob took both kids on the bike trailer for the first time!  I think that Francine loved it.
