Reminiscing

It's been a long week here with the baby. His growth spurt hit hard on Saturday night and lasted til Tuesday. Now he's making up for it by sleeping a little more these past couple of days. Currently he's swinging away while I watch some US Open. I am SO glad I was able to attend a match at the open while living in the city. Curtesy of ex-roomie I got to see Nadal, my tennis cutie :) Sadly, he lost his match.

Yellowstone sister and I plan on attending the big tennis majors at some point. I have never attended Wimbledon..however I was there in May '05 and it was just a quiet town outside London. No strawberries and cream, no tennis, sniff. In fact I was a little bummed that I took the train all the way out there for a whole lot of nothing. Oh well.

The French Open would be sweet to see. The only vivd memories I have from visiting France are these; 1) taking shelter from the wind in a bomb shell whole in Normandy 2) eating an amazing crepe after touring the ridiculously steep cliff of Omaha Beach 3) standing under the Eiffel Tower 4) eating my first chocolate croissant at the hotel for breakfast. I should remember more, but it was the last few days of a whirlwind high school trip. (Greece, Italy, Switzerland and France in 18 days). Anyway...point is, didn't see any tennis then.

Lastly the Australian Open. Hmmm, that is a hike for me. As much as I want to get over to that side of the world...I really have my doubts I could handle that plane ride. Maybe with enough sleeping aids...

Gotta get back to playing some tennis! I miss it. I am pumped about my soccer team though. But, wow, I am SO out of shape! Two days after my game and my shins and ankles are crying. Also, as much as my competitive self hurts to admit it, I am on the bottom quarter of my team. Sigh.

Well, I never begin writing a post with a theme in mind. The only thing I do know starting these posts is what pictures I want to share :) So, even though these pictures are not relevant to the post, here they are. Because who doesn't like seeing babies? Especially the cutie Harrison?

Look what I can do!



Mom's teeth are HUGE! Harry is mesmerized by them.



He actually wont close his mouth while in this position. He seems to think holding it open helps him keep his head up.
