Old Friends and Good Times

Last night, we had the pleasure of going to a Kenny Chesney concert with our dear friends, Melissa and Scott. Since Bailey came into our lives, we have spent less quality time with them. They had always been the ones with a child and we never could understand why they couldn't stay out late and we had to be quiet after Loran and Gavin went to bed. Now, we totally understand where they were coming from.

Melissa and Scott are very dear to us.....they introduced Rob and I at a party back in 2002. I had worked with Melissa who was married to Scott, who had been friends with a guy named "Robert." "Robert" had just gotten out of a difficult relationship, so Scott decided to bring him to a party held by mine and Melissa's boss. We met, hit it off and the rest they say is history. We owe a lot to them and they know we love them deeply.

We had so much fun last night (including jumping into a hotel pool late last night with our clothes on). It was great to have a night away to reconnect with our friends and each other.

By the way, the concert was pretty good, too!!

Lazy Days of Summer

This is pretty much what we've been doing all summer.....sitting around and playing with Bailey. She is beginning to sit up by herself and it's so funny. I don't think she really knows what to do with herself, so she just falls over when she's done. It has been so stinking hot here lately, that it's almost impossible to do anything. We went to the park a few days ago at 9 am and it was so hot that we could only walk 2 miles. We thought Bailey was getting too hot in her car seat/stroller. Actually, it was a good excuse for us to get out of the heat, as well.

She has started to get incredibly clingy with Rob and I. She doesn't like it when one of us leaves the room. I have to say, that I secretly love it when she reaches for me when someone else is holding her. It is such an awesome bond between a mother and a child. I never understood how my mom felt about me until she came.
