Sleeping soundly

Pedaling through puddles

There was a short break in the rain so we headed out for a bike ride. Grady was thrilled to ride through every big puddle he could find.

Fall soccer

This morning's soccer practice was wet and windy. I was re-thinking signing up for fall soccer, but Grady still had a good time, so I guess it's worth it!

Play date

We hosted one of our first "big kid" play dates this weekend where the parents dropped their child off and left us to our own devices for a few hours. Grady, Owen, and Gavin had a lot of fun building ramps and roads for their cars and monster trucks.

Hockey

And, the life of a hockey mom has begun! It's Grady's first year in minor hockey and he plays Friday night and Sunday morning. This was our first weekend and it went really well. We learned that it is much easier to get dressed at home rather than fight for space with the 30+ other kids and parents in the change room. Also, Grady needs a longer stick. Other than that, the program seems well run and he's having a lot of fun.

Soccer Saturday

Soccer has started up again and Grady is on Team Italy this time. He's also moved up an age group to Micros. They play for a little longer (75 mins.) and work on more skill development. He seems to be really enjoying it and still loves playing all afternoon in the backyard.

On our way to soccer. Happy to have a little more sunshine!

33 weeks and a video

Here we are at 33 weeks! Baby is 17.5" long and weighs about 4.5 lbs.  The baby is using it's lungs to practice breathing by inhaling amniotic fluid. Our little one is still very active in the evenings. I've started a prenatal yoga class, which I'm really enjoying. Also, the cooler weather has been a nice change.
