Game #9

Yesterday, the Malone Pioneers took on Notre Dame...no not that Notre Dame.  This is a division 2 school in Cleveland, OH.  And the Pioneers were victorious with a final score of 31-23.  It was a great team effort and a nice outcome after 3 tough weeks.

Unfortunately the kids and I did not attend the game.  There were several reasons:

1) The game did not start until 7 pm and ended @ 10...way past little man's bedtime

2) It's cold outside

3) I have been out of town all week

4) The game was a couple of hours away

While we missed watching the team and seeing Daddy we had a fun day at home.  Sawyer played, took a bath, and got a haircut.  Nora slept, played on the activity mat, and smiled at momma.  I played with the kids, made a dessert, started some Christmas crafts, and finished up Nora's birth announcements (finally).

It was a wonderfully sunny, quiet catch-up day.

In other news...I worked several days this week which meant lots of traveling and even a night away from home.  It was my first night away from Nora.  I'm not sure I was ready for that milestone yet, but I guess it had to happen sometime.  Everything went great.  Kyle did an excellent job with the added responsibilities of handling two kids and a more than full-time job.  I am thankful for the work, but also glad it is starting to wind down.

A pictorial review of our Saturday:

Sibling love...don't they look alike?

A real life view of the play room...this is what it normally looks like blocks strewn about, toys everywhere, Sesame Street on the tv, Sawyer jumping around, Nora playing with her toys

Miss Nora's new feat for the day: blowing raspberries and drooling
