Just a quick update about our trip to Notre Dame last weekend. Although the game was not so good (even though they did score two touchdowns...baby steps), it was still a great time seeing so many friends and family.
We stayed in Wisconsin at Great-Grandma's house on Thursday. I think she gets a kick out of Reagan and all of the funny things she does. According to the growth chart on the wall, in which all the grandkids and now the great-grandkids have kept track of their growth over the years, Reagan has grown five inches in the past year and three and a half since April so that is good. She is 32.5 inches now...and probably still only about 24 pounds if that. I wish I could adopt her diet!
After fighting Chicago traffic on Friday afternoon, we made it to South Bend where we visited everyone in the athletic department first thing. It was great seeing Susan and Bernie again, as well as so many other friends. We then went to the pep rally where Regis Philbin was the guest speaker - even the power of Reege couldn't help the Irish. We then went to dinner with my friend Heidi and her daughter Grace. Reagan and Grace played really well together which was nice to see since Reagan has a tendency not to play with other kids she does not know. Here is a photo of the two princesses.

Game day was fun as we made the rounds on campus, fought traffic at the bookstore (that is almost worse than Chicago traffic) and celebrated the game with our now traditional pregame meal of Kentucky Fried Chicken and champagne. Grandpa Chris and Aunt Alison drove over from Ohio to spend the day with Reagan which was nice. It was a beautiful day and even though the Irish were not competitive again (they might end the season 0-12...can you imagine if Notre Dame actually did not win a game all year?), it was a fantastic time. After dinner and swimming at the hotel with Grandpa, Auntie Alison, Madinah and Tim, Reagan finally ran out of steam about 11 p.m. It was a pretty good effort on her part since she only had one nap during the day and it was only about 45 minutes.
On Sunday, we made the long trek home, but not without stopping to see great-grandma again in Wisconsin. Reagan finally fell asleep about 7 hours into the trip so she was pretty exhausted once we got home. She is so unlike her mom in that regard as I am a huge car sleeper and she never sleeps in the car unless it is a last resort. Thank goodness though for DVD players. She loves that thing - Alice in Wonderland and Aladdin are her best friends.Thank you to everyone for making it such a great weekend for us!
One final note...the time has come and the passie is going away. She made it all day Monday except nap time and bed time without it so that was a good start. We are going to try and take it away for good this weekend - cold turkey. I didn't want to do that to Alana yesterday at daycare so we will see how it goes. I will keep you updated.
Gotta "go, go, go,"
