doing drills and one on ones

chris played with the girls after practice

today was abby's first day of soccer practice. when we went to pick out her equipment on saturday, she seemed really excited about playing. when chris practiced with her on sunday, she quit after 15 minutes because she got too hot. so we had no idea what would happen today. she actually did really well, especially during the one on one with the other girl on the team. abby is the tallest kid on the team (shocking) and there are 2 little boys who are awesome. i call them little beckham (the coach's kid) and little pele (this hispanic kid who i am pretty sure has been playing since he could walk). it looks like it's going to be a great year. the first game is sept 11th and they have 2 practices a week till then. here's hoping it's going to get cooler soon!!
also, yesterday was abby's first day of pre-k and libby's first day in the one year old class (they are both at Pierce Chapel). Abby *loves* school and both days after school has gotten in the car so excited. i am excited for the great things pre-k holds, for her amazing teacher and for how much she is enjoying it. i questioned not putting her in to public pre-k, but i really think this was the right thing for abby. libby was a little apprehensive getting out of the car and she cried when the teacher got her out and carried her in (they do car line at PC) but the director said she stopped crying after 2 minutes. also, libby is potty training! she's doing so great and it would be amazing if she'd be out of diapers in time for baby #3 (no we don't have a name, yes we do hope to have one before she's born, no it won't help to give us any ideas).

i had a first today - a non stress test. it was awesome! i got to lay in this recliner in a cold room for almost an hour! i listened to my ipod and read my book for book club "same kind of different as me". my ob saw the book and had read it, then he asked me if i had read some other books - he must be in a book club too, cause he didn't hit me with anything hard and obscure like chris reads:)

chris' first - ummm....he;s supposed to go to kansas. he's supposed to be there right now but isn't. if he ever gets in touch with his contact person it would be the first time he's been to kansas. but that's all i can think of. OH - we went to this new yogurt shop in town - Chill. it was very cool, very expensive, and sure to be a favorite of the girls. we hope gammy and papa will take them next time!!
