This weekend shaped up to be pretty eventful. The big news is that John was moved back up to the majors from the minors and then proceeded to hit a home run today against the Mets! To say that I am proud of him is an understatement. It takes me a while to wrap my head around it!
In other more normal life news, Matt and I made major nursery progress - including a trip to Ikea that seriously threatened my sanity (and his) and we got into a day care! If you live in Atlanta, you know that getting into a good daycare is notoriously responsible for sending parents into a desperate frenzy with rumors of multi-year long wait lists, insane cost, etc. I am one of these (soon-to-be) parents, by the way. It's really too bad that good, affordable childcare options are such a hot commodity in intown Atlanta. I guess it's one of the cons to living down here. But luckily we found out we got into a great little school in Grant Park called Urban Explorers! Baby P will be going 2 days a week, which we are very lucky Matt's schedule allows. They are opening a new school and a new infant room, thus giving us a spot. I am looking forward to meeting the other parents and having a great little community to be involved with.
Ok, so on to the really fun stuff. First - I need to be excused for the horrendous photo quality of my pics (Mom- remember that D-SLR you wanted to let me "borrow". Well, now you see why I really need it). Honestly, I really didn't feel like retaking them or retouching - sorry to all my photog and designer peeps out there!
Although Ikea was a like a special circle of hell on Saturday, it ended up being a productive trip with lots of loot! I went with a very specific list and Matt in tow (he volunteered, I swear). The best thing we scored? The rug for the nursery - $20! And the modernist, curvy lamp I am in love with for the dresser.
