Brenna's First Football Game

It's official...Brenna is a football daughter! She did very well at her first game. We were lucky that the sky had a nice, hazy cloud cover. It was still very hot, but not unbearable. Brenna loved watching the giant OC flags and was thoroughly entertained by all the action going on around her. She is at the stage that anyone smiling around her, makes her plaster a giant grin on her face. There were plenty of spectators to keep her smiles coming and to keep her entertained.

Brenna made it through the entire game and was able to greet her daddy on the field afterward. Ever since Justin has been coaching, he has watched other coach daddys with their kiddos. He loved when the children would run out on the field to greet their proud papas. It seemed to make the victory of the win even better and the bitterness of defeat bearable. Even though B is not running out to great him, he was still so proud to have her meet him on the sidelines!

Back to School

Wow, what a week! Our little family started another chapter in our lives. Justin and I went back to school and Brenna had her first week at the sitter. Overall, it went very well. Our happy baby was able to adapt, which seems to be a talent of hers. The first day was very hard on Mommy. I was pretty weepy on our last full day together and Monday morning. My fears were assuaged when my little sunshine was all smiles when we dropped her off. Mrs. Denise had a crib, boppy, and swing set up for Brenna. Once I got to school, everyone asked me about how my little girl was doing. I knew everyone meant to be thoughtful and sweet, but it was hard being reminded that she wasn't with me. When I walked in to pick her up, she immediately flashed me a huge, toothless smile. With that little gift from her, I knew that we would be ok. The rest of the week went about the same. B has had no problems and is adjusting great!

I am truly thankful that my girl is such a great baby!
