Weekend Update

Hello friends! Thanks for reading our updates each week! It's nice to know that our friends and family are keeping up with us in some way, even if we don't get to talk to each of you every week. Let us know what's going on with you! This week, we really enjoyed our new small group (Bible study) on Tues. night. We're glad to be a part of a group again, now that we've decided not to move away from Smyrna/Mableton so soon. Our new babysitter, Leslie, was awesome and we feel very fortunate that she is available to us. Raegan liked her immediately, and there were no tears. Yea! Tony worked late preparing for CFA seminar on Wed. night and then played poker in the neighborhood on Thursday night. I think he enjoyed meeting some of the newer guys in the neighborhood. He came home with empty pockets, but a full stomach, which is the same thing I could say for myself after Bunko night!

Nana and Papa (Tony's parents) visited with us on Saturday. We took Raegan, our dogs, and "Bai-yee" (their dog, Bailey) down to the playground for a few. Drew came down with his dad, too. I wonder if Raegan and Drew expect to see each other at the playground now since they are usually down there at the same time. We went out to Stoney River Steakhouse (yum) for Nana's birthday, and I think that was Raegan's first white tablecloth experience. She behaved well, and ended up providing entertainment to some of the surrounding tables with her dancing (in her highchair). She of course tried to clean the tablecloth after spreading her food all over it, and even polished the silver. Too bad she probably left half her meal under the table. Happy Birthday early, Nana!



There is a stuffed cow at the Chick-fil-A daycare (big surprise), and Raegan has started greeting it each morning and afternoon when she and Tony pass by the bench it sits on. She likes to sit next to it and chat for a bit. I even witnessed this on Wed. when I picked her up. Tony captured one of their moments on his phone this week:



Bristo and Luci don't get the attention that they used to get back when they were our only babies. I think they can sense that another baby is coming, which will bump them down even further in the pecking order. They've compensated by bonding with each other lately.



This last picture is one that Laura sent from a couple weeks ago when we got together for a Friday morning playdate (wonderful thing about having Fridays off from work!). This is Hannah, Zach, and Raegan. I think Hannah looks just like Angela (her mom) in this pic -so cute! Hannah and Zach both have younger siblings, so Raegan is hopefully going to learn a thing or two from them. Raegan loves going in Laura's kitchen - she says, "eat eat" everytime she goes in there, b/c she knows she'll get great snacks!
