A big weekend

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.
