We are Baylor.

There is nothing better in the fall than Baylor homecoming!  Except maybe your 10th homecoming!  Clearly I love love love Baylor and I couldn't be happier to take my sweet boy there and share that love with him.  Truly the best part of the weekend is just seeing amazing friends... and now to see their children and for them to meet mine.  We had a great weekend!  On the road trip up C took a nap.  When he woke up he was ready to be out of his car seat.  Sadly we were still 45 minutes away.  Enter Sesame Street on the iPad and cheerios.  Such a big boy.

When we arrived in town we hit up Common Grounds and hit the bookstore.  Then we wandered around campus.  When we walked into the student union, we found the Heisman and the women's national championship trophy on display.  So cool!

Then it was time for a little stretching of the legs. 

We didn't get to stay up for the bonfire this year.  But they did have so many fun things to do beforehand and great food!  So this boy went on his first ferris wheel!  He was excited.  About a quarter of the way up the power went out on it and we started sort of falling back the other way.  I suddenly felt like a moron for taking my baby on a carnival ride!  I proceeded to hug him so tight while also having a death grip on his thigh until we got off.  The view was beautiful though!

After that we headed to check into our hotel and get some sleep.  I emphasize some.  Sleep in one room with a baby who can stand up is just not as restful.  But we survived and were up and ready for the parade!  This is the best place to see friends and we loved it. 

Then it was back to the hotel so Colby could get a nap in.  Except he wasn't quite ready to lay down.  So he just kept standing up and talking.  Of course he would never go to sleep if he saw Rick and I.  So we took our lunch into the bathroom and ate it standing looking at ourselves in the mirror.  Parenting is hilarious!  Then we got to nap too so we were all ready for game time!

I only have this picture from the game because after half time we had to leave due to bad weather!  We had fun though and the Bears won!

We went to dinner with our friends the Foleys and then headed back to the hotel to crash.  Literally.  Colby was so tired that when I tried to put him in the bath tub he completely lost it.  No need to hide from him that night... he was passed out. 

Something about homecoming is just good for the soul!  Baylor truly changed who I am and I will forever be grateful for the blessing of going there.  And grateful for any chance I have to go back!
