Some things just weren't meant to be...

Some things just weren't meant to be this weekend. These would include Parker going to bed at a decent hour (therefore me going to bed at a decent hour), an IU win, and Parker playing soccer. Parker decided not to go to bed until 1:30am Friday night/Saturday morning thanks to a lovely thunderstorm that decided to sit over our house for a few hours. Needless to say because of our lack of sleep and overall grumpiness soccer did not really happen. We came and we went. Maybe next weekend? Due to Little Man being up I did not get to watch one single minute of my Hoosiers. Even though they lost I would have still liked to have seen the game. Oh the sacrifices we as parents make.

We did, however, redeem ourselves today. Everybody was in much better moods as a result of a full night's sleep. We bought Parker's new summer wardrobe of which he is VERY excited to wear to Florida! We had one of our favorite places for lunch (YATS) and overall it was a nice, relaxing Sunday. Despite the lack of sleep and an IU loss, I couldn't love that little munchkin of mine any more and I'm so proud of my HOOSIERS!

Not what I had planned

This weekend was supposed to start with Parker's first day of soccer. Parker had different plans. The night before we were up in the middle of the night with him. Not sure why, but it resulted with me sleeping on the edge of the bed and knees in my back. We got up early and headed off to start a new adventure. Before class started, Parker got to kick around the soccer ball and if I don't say so myself he was pretty good! But then class started and things went downhill very quickly! He wanted nothing to do with sitting in a circle or doing the exercises the coaches had in mind. What resulted was tears and "I want to go home". Home we went. Parker ended up taking a three and a half hour nap so he was clearly tired.  Not how I planned for the day to go, but we will try again next weekend!

On a brighter note, another beautiful weekend and an IU win!! Go Hoosiers! Sweet Sixteen!

Long time, no blog....

Well, I'm giving this blogging thing another go (again!). All is well in the Solomon world. Enjoying this beautiful day with the windows open and college basketball on the television...March Madness!!!

Recently, I started a fundamentals photography class that will teach me to use my "fancy" camera. I bought the camera last year as a 30th birthday present to myself. I was very sad about turning 30 and thought this would cheer me up. For our wedding anniversary, Josh signed me up for this photography class. He then started his new job at ExactTarget and I had to push it back. So now here we are in March and I'm finally getting around to it. It is just a 4 week class on Monday evenings, but it's getting me acquainted with my camera so I don't have to use it on the auto settings. Each week we have homework assignments (I thought I was done with homework!) Below is one of the pictures I took for our assignment this week. This is my extremely adorable and photogenic nephew Brayden....
