Playdates and Football

Our weekend was completely wonderful in it's simplicity. 

Highlight for Ainsley this weekend was her first "real" playdate at a friend's house without mommy.
Up until now, other than family or our close friends across the street, Ainsley has only been on playdates where mom or dad stay with her or we meet out somewhere.  So - this "real" playdate was so exciting for her to get to do.
Before you worry...we've been to the house before, we know the child, parents, and older siblings, and it is only several blocks away.
She had SOOO much fun and just loved having the little bit of freedom and independence.
I am proud of her to experience life and enjoy her independence (but I am a little sad saying good bye a little more each day to my baby girl).

Shaun's highlight was his flag football team won their 4th game!  They are undefeated and Shaun is playing so great!  He played great, but the highlight for me was something he said, not did.
After throwing an interception, he went up to a teammate and apologized to him for not making the pass to him.  The teammate, to his credit, said "nah, it was my fault - I went to deep behind the defender". 
To 7 year old boys act with such self-lessness and team focus is amazing to me!
Overall - I just love seeing him work hard, support his team, and do so well!
