A Big Saturday

Yesterday was a big day...it was our first weekend in Tulsa. Sally experienced many firsts...

My mom left yesterday. My dad flew up and got her. It was VERY hard to see her go. Sally and I will miss her desperately. She was such a huge help while she was here. Not only was she the best Nana to Sally, but she single-handedly got our house in working order. She organized the kitchen and got the house clean and livable. I was not any help at all. My time was spent with Sally or trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I had just moved to a different state! I am so thankful for my sweet mom. There is nothing that she wouldn't do for us. I hope to be just like her as a mom- she is truly amazing.

After we took Mom and Dad to the airport, Ted, Sally, and I went to Louie's for Sally's first meal out. She did great! She slept straight through lunch. She was a trooper and it was great to be out!

After lunch we went to the Organic Plant and Herb festival in Jenks. It was fun to load Sally up in her stroller and walk around. Main street was closed off and we just wandered from booth to booth looking at pretty plants. It felt NOTHING like Dallas...definitely small town! I think we're going to like this slower, more laid back lifestyle.

Then Sally's umbilical cord fell off---she's growing so quickly! It was more of a milestone than I expected it to be. I'm not too sure that I'm ready for her to grow up so fast! She did enjoy sitting in warm water for her bath time. This girl loves a good warm bath and new hair do! I figure she'll ask for a manicure and pedicure any day now!

Our first Saturday was a success!
