Yesterday morning I was laying in bed and cuddling with Cooper and Dan was in the bathroom getting ready for work, so I was telling Dan that in the past 2 months I've lost a few pounds and he replied "that's good". Cooper looked at me and said "Mommy, are you trying to get shorter like Grandma Maria?" After I stopped laughing I hugged him a little tighter and said "Yes, Mommy wants to be shorter." So, I look forward to the day when I can look as good and be as short as Dan's mom "Grandma Maria". So for all you short people, don't feel bad about yourself because in our house being short is a GOOD THING!
Never Ending Sports
What did we sign-up for? Instead of a long vacation we thought we couldn't afford we let the boys continue with sports through the summer. Brady has been playing on a lacrosse travel team (Go Mad Dogs!) and Parker was recruited into All Stars for baseball (Go Green!). Since the middle of June we've either had lacrosse or baseball practice every night and games every weekend. Not only did we pay for them to do this, but we've now paid for hotel rooms (for long distance lacrosse games), gas, and food (Cooper is addicted to the concession stand). I think we could of gone on that vacation we couldn't afford! Oh well, Brady has enjoyed playing for the High School Varsity Coach and Parker is still the best 1st baseman around. Here are a few pictures of Brady's last tournament in Sackett's Harbor, NY (3 1/2 hours away on Lake Ontario). I don't have any of Parker yet but will post some as soon as I take them.
The New York Nelsons Visit NYC
Well after 7 years on the East Coast we finally visited New York City! I loved it! We toured the town on foot and bus (yes we took a tour bus). We had a great time! Some of our favorite things we saw there were... Times Square, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, the Naked Cowboy (sorry no pictures), and Serendipity 3 (best frozen hot chocolate ever).
