"This Everyday Love"

My birthday came and went (thank God!)and while I'm feeling a little bit older these days, I suppose it's better to have a birthday than to not have one. Right? LOL! Dominic took me to see Rascal Flatts in concert. We had great seats and a fun night. I love Rascal Flatts but this time it was to see their opening acts. Darius Rucker (former lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish and now a country music singer) opened for them and I love his new CD. Dierks Bentley opened for them, as well and he was good, too. Dominic enjoyed people watching as much as the concert. You find all types at country music concerts!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

It was Giana's first baseball game. We took her to see the Columbus Clipper's play Atlanta at the new Huntington Park Field. She was more interested in the bounce house. We made it to the top of the 9th inning. I'm still not sure who won the game but the Clipper's were ahead by two runs when the meltdown took place.

The next day was her first attempt at miniature golf and she LOVED it! The stinker made a hole in one! Notice the purple ball. Her "favorite color."

And finally, the Ohio State Fair. Giana rode on her first kiddie roller coaster and laughed the entire time. I went with her, of course. It was a weekend full of "firsts" and she also milked a cow. My stomach is turning as I type this. There's nothing like giving your child some life experiences. I was reluctant but my mom talked me into it. We quickly found the nearest restroom to wash her hands! She's still talking about it. We're hoping farming isn't in her future.
