Talon comes to visit

This past weekend we had some visitors from across the state. Tommy and Angie and their new baby Talon came to visit from Newport News, VA. Talon was born July 3, so he's not too much younger than Brynn. Big boy though! He seems to weigh just about the same as what Brynn weighs.

I think they had fun laying on their backs on the floor together. Brynn was trying so hard over the weekend to roll over and she seemed to try even harder if she had no diaper on, so there was one time when she showed Talon her lady parts in kind of an inappropriate way, but I'm pretty sure he won't remember.

Anyhoo, we jam packed our Saturday with as much as could fit in a day as possible. VT had their first swim meet of the season and the first one at the new pool at 9 in the morning that day, so I took the 3 kids to the meet where we watched for a couple of hours. Oh how nice it was to be at the new pool with plenty of seating (NOT on deck) so they could run around as much as they wanted. From there, I took the 3 of them to the parade on Main St. for VT homecoming. We got there late and Ethan had to potty, so we didn't see much of it, but the kids got a few pieces of candy and Ethan got freaked out by the weird-hokie bird-on-stilts-people, so that's pretty much what I had expected to get out of the parade.

Home for about an hour and then it was off to the tailgate for the football game. And we took ALL the kids to the game (and the tailgate). We went to the game about an hour early to meet up with the swim recruits and take them on the field to watch warmups, then we stayed until halftime (score was 49 to 21 at that point). All the kids did really well considering we had basically no naps that day (Brynn napped some in my arms).

As a side note - Brynn FINALLY did roll over for the first time yesterday afternoon at daycare. Tried to get her to do it again when we got home and she got real close, but she seems quite pleased with herself on her newly developed skill.
