Summer, Fall, Winter, Where is the time going


























It's now pretty much November and in Wisconsin that means winter is here.  It hasn't actually snowed yet...but I know it's close.  Time is short so we're gonna summarize the last few months.

July

Family Reunion in Midway---so great to see everyone!   

August---my team won the Midwest Section championships beating Ohio and Michigan to qualify for nationals

September---moved into a bigger place.  So great to have more room.  My parents came out to help which was wonderful  (for us---not so much for them)

October---got to see my family again!  Flew into Vegas, spent a few days in George before driving down to Palm Springs to play Nationals.  Left Sean overnight for the first time.   Had so much anxiety about it, but it was actually very relaxing, I got to just focus on tennis.  I guess if you're going to leave your son with anyone, your mom and sister are about as good as it gets!

Can't wait to go out to Utah for Thanksgiving and Chile for Christmas!!!

Sean is growing up so much.  He's 20 months old, running everywhere and starting to talk more.  He has really enjoyed having more space in the new house...having room to run around and a huge backyard to play in.  

Sean's favorite things to play with or do right now:

playing with the brooms in the garage
holding pencils and spoons
playing the piano
holding toothbrushes
playing in the car (climbing in the front seat and pushing every button, lever, switch possible)
reading stories (moms favorite because he just snuggles in my lap)
books with flaps or anything to manipulate or feel
wrestling

Sean's favorite things to eat:

pasta
propel
chocolate chips
GRAPES
chocolate pudding
sandwiches
raisins
did I mention GRAPES
