UNC Homecoming

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello cutie pie!  

Welcome to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill!  You've been here before, but never on campus (just drove through to get to cousin Julia's wedding).  This was your first time being on and seeing the campus where daddy and I went to school .... fell in love .... and got engaged.  :-)  Daddy proposed on the steps of the South Building (which is where we use to hang out on dates, people watch, and talk).  This was also your first experience at a college sporting event .... football!  We had tickets with our friends Karyn and Steve.  They have a daughter, Charlotte (who's cousin Charlie's age).  You liked to watch her walk around, talk, and sing little songs.  :-)  We sat up in the Pope Box (like a 'sky box') so there was lots of food and drinks too.  We had your bottles all packed though, so you had two while there. 

You did relatively well during the game .... though you did not like it when the fireworks went off and if everyone around us clapped/cheered loudly (like when we were at the demolition derby).  You didn't get a morning nap, since we were walking around campus and saw your Uncle James, so you ended up taking a nap during the first half on daddy (though I don't know how you slept with all the noise!).  ;-)

The game was at 3:30pm, but we got there around noon to walk around.  We were playing William and Mary .... we eventually won (21-17), but the first half wasn't pretty.  :-P  Good thing we picked it up during the second half!  Go Heels!  :-)

After the game, we met up with our friends from last night, who were also still in town.  We all went out to eat at Outback Steak House, though we didn't get seated until around 9pm.  You were so exhausted that you fell asleep in my arms once we sat down, and stayed sleeping until we put you back in the car after dinner!  You fell back asleep pretty quickly in the car though.  Once home, daddy changed your diaper and outfit.  I put you in your little bed .... you promptly rolled over .... then, you were fast asleep again.  We were all in bed by around 11:30pm.  :-)

You got to meet two new people at dinner .... Katie was there (she went to Dental School with Sherrill and mommy) and Sherrill's daughter, Juleigh Vena.  She's about 5 months younger than you.  :-)

Tomorrow we'll likely relax since we were out all day today.  

Sleep tight little fellow!

I love you very much!  :-)
