Nationals '09


We just returned from our annual trip to Sioux City, for the NAIA women's basketball national tournament. It was a great trip...one that I was actually dreading very much, only because I was not sure how Liam was going to handle it, but he pleasantly surprised us, and did VERY well. It was the last time we will be making that trip, since it was Erin's senior season. It was great to watch her play there one last time. The girls made it to the sweet sixteen and then lost to the defending national champs from the previous year. They did great, and it was an honor to see them in Sioux City. There were quite a few pictures taken, and I want to share them all, so here is a link to my photo album. The picture at the top is me with the champion of character, two years running...kind of a big deal :).

(Oh and in the five days we were gone, Liam started crawling, got much better with walking, and got another tooth...it was a productive trip for him :)

First Steps

Liam officially took his first steps this evening. It's not much, but he has now taken a couple of steps between people, or as shown in the video, between me and the couch. He all of the sudden got brave tonight and decided to let go and try to walk to me. Then that is all he wanted to do. It was so cute to watch him. He would get this big grin on his face, and then laugh right before he would let go of the couch. He is still VERY unbalanced, but pretty proud of himself :) Enjoy the video.
