Out on the Town

Out on the town....it's a phrase that changes meaning when you have a baby! Our version of out on the town was a trip to the store. Now this is not extraordinary. We've taken her shopping before. This wasn't even her biggest shopping day--that was with Aunt Jessica and her cousin Alex in Layton. This shopping day was special because it was the day she didn't have to sit in her car seat while we shopped. We took her in the Daddy carrier (which her daddy insisted on buying before she was born and has barely used it). Well, Kevin carried her around in it all over Lee's MarketPlace. You know what? She loved it! Brynnlee looked around at everything that was going on. She had a great time actually seeing what was happening. She gave people big smiles as we walked by. And of course they smiled back with oohhs and ahhhs and how cutes. It was so much fun that even though she was super tired, she wouldn't fall asleep.


Getting ready to go to the store!


Brynnlee shopping with Dad for some canned goods.

After our adventure at the grocery store, we needed some nourishment. So where best to find it but the Olive Garden? We went for soup, salad, and breadsticks. We ate soup, salad, breadsticks, fettuccine Alfredo and baked ziti. Yummmm! Even though Kevin and I were loving it, Brynnlee didn't have as much fun here....I think she wanted a breadstick!



Isn't it funny how any moment can become a blogging moment?!

Football Night in the Eames Home




My dad love sports. Boy does he love sports! I swear it is the only thing he let us watch when he was home. I have memories of televised bowling and pool. Yuck. But now he has three daughters who like football. And because Dad is a Steelers fan, so are we. We got together to watch the Steelers play their first playoff game. Kevin and I almost got kicked out of the house because we didn't show up in black and gold. Hannah and Hallie had the spirit. Don't they look cute? My mom made a delicious roast dinner, and we had a great time. Best of all? The Steelers won!

A Decision

After thinking about it for a few weeks, hearing stories, and realizing my students can look at this blog if they find it somehow, I have decided to make our blog private. Please let me know your email address so that we can continue to share our stories with you!

Back to School Blues

I know that most parents have been eagerly awaiting this day. Ahh back to school from the crazy Christmas break. I have been dreading this day since September 5. Today was the day I had to go back to school too. Leaving my little Brynnlee behind was heart wrenching. The only thing that kept me sane was that Kevin took care of her. What a guy! So all you stay at home moms out there--thank your husband for the opportunity to stay with your little ones.
