Landry Wins Patience

Now this comes as no shock.  Landry, I have told you since before you were a toddler that God has given you the gift of patience.  You rarely every complain about wanting someone (especially me) to hurry up.  You never rush me through a store or during decision making.  Through this, you have taught me to slow down.  I am task oriented and love getting my list checked off.  You teach me that it is okay to go at your own pace and enjoy just the process; even if it is just climbing into a car seat and getting buckled.  You are never in a hurry unless you are competing on a soccer field or swimming pool and you teach us to be yourself and enjoy life.
Therefore, it was very fitting when you were chosen by Mrs. Kime to win the award for Patience at school.  Congratulations.  Thank you for all you teach us and for making me a better person.

Panthers vs Rams 2013

So for Daddy's 40th Birthday he wanted all four of us to go to a Panther game together.  Daddy and Brooks go at least once every year but Landry and I have never been and wanted to go.  We had the most wonderful experience; all decked out in our Panthers gear.  We got great seats the day before the game.  The drive down was totally free of traffic and we found $10 parking one block from the stadium.  Fan Zone was so much fun with combines for you guys to compete in, give aways, bouncy houses, obstacle courses, cheerleaders, Sir Purr, and much more.  The weather was gorgeous and almost hot for October.
We sat 8 rows behind the end zone and I have to say that I have never sat in such great seats.  The Panthers came out right in front of us, we had awesome views of the game and players and it was a super exciting game for sure! 
We were all cheering and going crazy the whole game and there really wasn't a dull moment.  The Panthers pulled out the win over the Rams and the crowd was electric.
To finish off the day, we had a traffic free ride home which is pretty amazing from Charlotte on game day.  I am so glad Daddy wanted to share this time with all of us.  Happy Birthday Daddy! 

Baseball Update

Braves are the Champions!  After an undefeated season at 8-0 you won the championship.  It was a single elimination tournament.  You guys had a buy the first night and played the winner of one of those games at 5:30 followed by the championship game at 7:30.  It was sooo cold but sooo fun!  Your team almost lost the first game but finally started playing like the Braves we were accustomed to in the last inning and came back.  By the final game you guys were playing like winners and had a great time.  Your team mates were a great group of boys and I am thankful you had such a good first experience with baseball.
