Busy, Busy

It has been a busy couple of days for Reagan's mom - thus the lack of writing. I had my tennis tournament this past weekend. We were so close but lost the deciding match 4-1, including me losing in a third-set tiebreaker 10-8. It was a bummer, but I had a lot of fun playing. Now it is on to fall season.

Reagan is good. She went to another big girl party on Friday for my work - this time with better results. She ran around and danced for everyone the whole night - just like her mom used to do in her prime.

This is a photo of Reagan in the rocking chair her Grandma Vicki painted for her and her mom's old baby blanket. Still not going well in getting rid of the pacifier. She is doing well at school without it, but not at home. It has been a very trying time for us. Any suggestions, please feel free to share.

She went back to school on Monday after a week off, but you would have never known she had been away. As soon as she walked in the door, she ran around and high fived all of the kids and said "Hi Lana." That makes me feel good that she likes it there so much. One new thing at daycare is that Alana is bringing in a teacher once a week to work with the kids on such things as Spanish, music, and reading. I think that is great and I look forward to Reagan coming home and saying "Yo hablo espanol"

We have a big weekend coming up as Reagan's godmother is coming to Minneapolis to visit. Jen is a lawyer in Chicago and we see her often which is nice. She was a friend of Andrew's when he was at Notre Dame. She is coming for the 'great Minnesota get together' - the State Fair. If you have never been to the State Fair in Minnesota, it is a site to see. It is the second largest fair in the U.S. (Texas of course is the biggest). I am sure we will have plenty of photos from the weekend so tune in for that.

That is all the news. Reagan has discovered cartoons and videos and the minute she gets in the car or gets home, she must have us turn them on. We had to go buy more movies today since we were sick of watching Alice in Wonderland and Aladdin. We tried to get her to watch Rudy but she only likes the band scenes (she has a thing for the Victory March - what a surprise!).

This last photo is of Reagan at the Minnesota Lynx WNBA game on Sunday. She loves those games, although she needed her coffee for this one (don't worry...it is water Grandma Vicki). She knows exactly when to clap and cheer and she has made quite a few friends at the games this year.

That is about all for now.

Gotta 'go, go, go,"
Reagan's mom
