Working as a Team

Today was a big day in our household. This post will not be beautifully written, and I've got no pictures, but it's a day I want to remember.

Today was Kai's first day of daycare, the beginning of our 10 month lifestyle. (As educators, we live a ten month life, and a two month life routine wise.)

Things about today:
-Erik worked.
-Emily worked. (8am meeting, got there at 8:05, hey, I tried.)
-Kai's started at Alyson's for daycare, went well!
-Harriet (the dog) was sick all weekend at my parent's while we were out of town, had to be brought to the vet for GI issues, and was put on an IV. My mom helped with this. So helpful.
-Kai had his 4 month appointment at the doctor.
-We ate Chipotle for dinner because that's what you do on days like today.
-Erik sent me flowers at school because he's awesome like that.
-My phone is broken so all of this was coordinated without me having a working cell phone.

I know we have a lot of whirlwind days ahead. But we did it. It's bedtime. Makes me thankful for the support we have conquering days like today.

Kai's First Twins Game

Our friends were so kind and invited us to join them for a Twins game last Friday. Karl told us the seats would be good, turns out they were really good, second row!

When we were pregnant and talked about our future child, Erik mentioned wanting to bring that child to Twins' games. He talked about how his dad always brought him as a kid, and it was something he was looking forward to doing with his own kids.

When Erik walked downstairs in his Twins jersey, and Kai in his Twins onesie, I couldn't help smiling. It's fun when things you dream about actually come true.

Game was good, the Twins won in extra innings, though we left at the tenth inning. I watched the actual baseball game closer than I ever watch, scared of any foul balls that could come our way. People around us told us they wanted the ball and would protect the baby, but this mama still got a bit nervous! (Especially after a teenager got hit in the face in the section next to us, and medical had to come help!)

Kai enjoyed the game, looking all around at the lights and people. He even enjoyed just being downtown, looking upward as soon as we got out of the car. Thanks to our friends for the invite!
