Visitors

Over the last week or so we've gotten to see a couple familiar faces! My friend from college, Eileen, was in town for a couple days so we got to spend some time together. I introduced Eileen to Ryan and we shopped around for a bit and went to eat lunch during the day. Andy watched Ryan that night so I could go out for a little "girls dinner". I missed my guys, but it was nice to just get out for a couple hours and catch up with friends.
Friday night Andy's special teams coach, Kurt Schottenheimer, and his wife Colleen, invited us to a dinner they had put together for the "specialists". They encouraged us to bring Ryan so he tagged along :)
They rented out a space at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. We've never been up there, but we'll surely go back! It was gorgeous. The views were awesome and the atmosphere was too. They hold concerts up there so maybe we'll check one out sometime.
View from the top. This picture doesn't do it justice. You could see the bay from up there too. It was breath-taking.
Here's the amphitheater where they have concerts.
After dinner Andy's parents arrived! Ryan was sleepy from dinner so the Lees didn't get to see him until the next morning. He really was happy to see them-not that it looks that way in this picture, but he really was. He was probably just hungry, but I couldn't resist putting up one with his little lip poking out.
That's better....
"Hey grandpa...you're silly..."
So...you saw that lip poking out a few pics back. Yea...fast forward about 30 minutes from when this next picture was taken and that's the look Ryan was giving me in the stadium. He was NOT a fan of all the loud noises and scary screaming men. I guess the Monday Night Football excitement + the time of night was a bit overwhelming. Poor little guy. He was all ready in his cleats :(
After his meltdown he fell asleep in his carseat.
In the car....
where I listened to the whole game on the radio...
Andy's mom sat with me though, which was so sweet of her. We couldn't believe we were listening to SUCH an exciting game in the car! haha...we'll tell Ryan when he grows up and I'm sure we'll all giggle. Even though we lost I'm still so proud of the Niners! Go get 'em this weekend guys!!

My first blog comment ever...maybe the first of many! Just wanted to say thanks to you and Ryan for entertaining me during my short trip! I'm so happy I finally got to meet that cute little guy!

I can't wait to see all of you again!

PS - I'm glad you have a picture of us because my camera did not survive the trip home from the west coast!
