Today is my girls due date and we're doing something special today to remember the day. It's been a rough few months and I think things should be looking up for all of us as we put this day behind us and make something positive of it. Thanks to all my friends and family that have been so great! We really are lucky to have you!
In honor of Veteran's Day I wanted to post this photo of Drew. This is while he was serving in the Marines. He was only 20 years old and looks like a baby! Its hard to believe men this age serve our country, but I'm very thankful that they do!!
We had another busy weekend which I suppose isn't out of the norm for us, it seems once school starts Sloan keeps us pretty busy. We actually stayed home on Friday and I made a really nice meal (meaning nothing was microwaved) and we just watched some movies.
On Saturday we went to Sloan's basketball tournament. It was a good game but unfortunately the girls lost the game. They played great this year though and ended up placing 3rd in the regular season.
On Sunday we surprised Sloan by taking her to the Colts game. It was her first Colts game and she was super excited and had lots of fun. We took her to a tailgate some of Drew's friends were having to give her the full football experience. Drew's friends were really nice and we pigged out on steak fajitas! They cook according to what team they are playing, so Houston is fajitas, New Orleans, gumbo, etc.! Regardless it was better then any Mexican restaurant I've ever been to!
The Colts won the game (barely) and it was a nail biter for sure. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again!
Sloan got her school pictures back recently and I couldn't believe how much she's changed in just a year. When they are babies you get how much they grow but as they get older you sorta forget. I have a photo frame that has 2 sides to it and I always have the year before and the current year's school picture in it. Sloan of course likes to look at herself and analyze how fabulous she's become! The photo above is from 5th grade and the one below is her I'm so cool 6th grade photo!
She gets mad at me but I usually make her wear a black blouse every year because I have too many wacky photos of me in the '70's in some incredibly horrible clothes but I let her chose her hairstyle and she went for the whole Lauren Conrad from The Hills look.
I'd have to agree with Sloan, she is pretty darn fabulous!! Although where did my little girl go???
