Football and Friends!

We had a very sociable weekend here! It all stared on Thursday for the first Redskins game of the season... here is a shot of Noah before he went to daycare! Grammy (my mom) recently bought Noah this Chris Cooley jersey to match the one she bought Waylon last Christmas! :-)

After school, Cory and Jennie came over to have dinner and watch the game. We played with Noah for a while and then Jennie and I did bedtime while the guys grilled sausages and started watching the game. It was so fun to hang out with them... it's been WAY to long! Here is Daddy and son in matching jerseys!


On Friday, Noah and I had a great day. The morning was relaxing but fun, he had a nice long nap and then we went over to Kate and Chris' house to play with the triplets. Such fun!! Here is Noah with Brendan and Rory (Maddie was sleeping at this point).


Saturday was the first home NC State game and since Waylon knew he'd be gone all afternoon, he made it up to me in advance that morning!! He let me sleep in until 8:30 which was amazing... that's 2 hours more sleep than we normally get! Then he took Noah with him to the grocery store while I stayed home and took a nice relaxing bath! What a treat!

After he left and Noah woke up from his nap, we went to pick up Amy and Stella Dot and headed downtown to Raleigh Wide Open - a celebration of the opening of the new Convention Center. We transferred her carseat to my car so we could all ride together - it was so cute, Stella Dot and Noah were passing food and books back and forth between them and I also caught them trying to hold hands! Being the responsible parents we are, we went straight for the beer tasting tent. :-) Don't worry, we shared a tasting glass and ended up giving away half of our tastings! Here is a shot of us in the tent. Notice Daddy's little boy....


Noah and Stella Dot did really well sharing food. We actually shared dinner out there, too. They go to daycare together and it's obvious that they know each other. Also notice How Noah is stuck in the stroller... that's because if I let him out, he'd be all over the place!! Stella Dot is so good about staying close. We wondered if that's a boy/girl thing or personality thing... who knows!


When we got home from downtown, Noah went straight to bed. Since Waylon and the rest of the boys were still at the game, Megan and Anise came over and brought ice cream and a girlie movie!! So fun!

Today... another fun day! This morning we all went to Toys R Us and finally bought some 'real' gates for the stairs. We've had those old fashioned wooden ones up until now and they hadn't been working well for us. While we were there, we ran into one of my old coworkers, her husband and her 2 year old son.

This afternoon, we had more playdate fun!! Waylon went over to our friend Josh and Anise's house to watch some NFL games and Kate brought 2 of the tripets (Maddie and Rory - Chris took Brendan with him to Josh's) and my neighbor Janet brought her daughter Maddie (yup, too Maddies) over to swim! Noah is in daycare with Maddie, too, and yet again, it's obvious that they know each other well. Here are some swimming pics...

Maddie loved sticking her face into the water... it was halarious!


They had a great time kicking and splashing... see the video below!

The big pool was a little overwhealming for Rory (left) and Maddie (right), so we filled up this smaller one for them. They will be all over the place like the 'big kids' before we know it!!

Noah will be a beer "taster" before you know it!
