I apologize for taking sooo long to post. It's been a busy couple of weeks! We had my son's first year birthday party last weekend. It was bigger than originally anticipated, but well worth all the time and energy put in. As this was my first birthday party for my own child, I realized people wanted to get him toys. If it had been me buying all the gifts, I would have brought clothes and cash...with a toy or two. But he's happier to get the toys, I'm sure.
My baby boy also started walking this week! Unbelievable how fast they grow. Everyone gets so excited when he starts walking. They think I haven't seen it before and turn it into a huge event like, "I got to see him walk first!" Of course, I burst their bubble and say that this is nothing new. But they don't care. People are funny.
Now, let's move on to something else I'm excited about...FOOTBALL! =+) My Pats played great for the season opener. (I was supposed to have been at that game but we decided to delay our trip until the spring. Maybe I'll get to go to a game next year.) Welker made a huge comeback and the newbies showed their skills. Mark my words, Hernandez and Tate will be big players for the Patriots offence this year. I don't want to talk about this week's game against the Jets. Reason #1- I didn't get to see the game so I can't critique it. #2- I heard it was sad and I don't want to depress myself. hehe Anyway, it was one game. We will pick up, brush off, and move on.
A few predictions/suggestions I'd like to offer for a few other NFL teams: *Cowboys are going nowhere this year. Sorry! I think Houston will help Dallas move to 0-3 and it will be downhill from there. *Colts are back. Don't know what happened the first week. *Eagles need to put Vick in as starting QB. Don't know why Andy Reid doesn't see that. *AFC East is going to be a tight race...minus the Bills.
Well, it's time for me to get to bed. I get my braces off tomorrow after wearing them for 2 years and 5 months. Think I'll buy a caramel apple this week. Yum.
