(I have to be careful when I talk about turning 30 as being old since my wife will be taking the plunge in less than 3 weeks. Shh....don't tell her I told you.)
So anyway, my birthday. It was about as good as a birthday could be. I took Friday off of work, and my parents came up in the morning. My mom spent some time with Levi while my dad took me golfing. We went to Eagle View in Mason, where I golfed for my league. I was hoping that taking him to my home course would give me an advantage. Not quite. I got a 10 on the first hole, and was scuffling big time after 5 holes. My dad observed another crappy drive of mine, and he said "Spread your legs wider and tee the ball up higher". I guess that was all the advice I need to become a borderline professional. I proceeded to have my best round of golf ever. I finished up the front with a 51, then shot a 41 on the back. Just to put it in perspective, I've golfed the back 9 on this course 8 times over the last 2 years and my scores have been 48, 51, 52, 52, 55, 55, 59, and 59. So I beat my best score on the back by 7 strokes, and I beat my best score ever (a 46) by 5.
Oh, and I had my first eagle ever too.After golf, my parents took Levi home with them for his first overnight. He did awesome and had a great time. Courtney and I enjoyed our freedom by going out to dinner at Red Robin, watching a movie, and then watching the Tigers squeak out a victory. We missed our little guy but it was nice to have a break. So all in all, it was a pretty darn good birthday.
Courtney quit her job at the end of July so she could focus on her internship for school this fall. She has started going into the school she will be working at in recent weeks. She is looking forward to the internship and the different experiences she'll have. I'm transitioning into getting Levi around in the mornings and man, that really throws a wrench in my morning routine. I'm finding myself going to bed earlier at night and waking up earlier in the morning. It only took 29 years, but I think I might finally be reaching adulthood.
Levi is doing well. He has more teeth coming in so that is making him a little moodier than normal. He's also been eating a ton lately, so we're guessing he's going through a big growth spurt or something. He's saying a couple more words now: "woof" (when we ask him "what does a dog say?") and "up" (when he wants in his highchair or out of his crib). He also pats his head when we ask "where is your head?", although in the effort of full disclosure he also pats his head when we wask where his feet are at as well. So he's not quite genius level yet.
That's about all from here. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time to get started on mock draft #3 for my upcoming fantasy football league draft on Monday (aka the most important day of the year, unless Courtney is reading this in which case its not as important as other things like our anniversary or her birthday).
He's already getting ready for school, although "The Celebration of Discipline" might be a heavy read for a 1 year old.
Enjoying the slide at Uncle Ryan and Aunt Marnie's house.
Giving his 2nd cousin Cali a hug.
Levi and Maya with the Schlosser kids (2nd cousins).
Enjoying his new car (another garage sale find by mom).
