Celebrating Solomon {Early}

Solomon’s Gotcha Day is coming up in a few weeks and sadly our family won’t be all together in the same place for the two weeks surrounding his special day.  We decided we would need to do some early celebrating while were all together.  Each year on his Gotcha Day we let Sol pick something special for us to all do together as a family.  Since he was old enough to pick, age 3, he’s chosen the Chattanooga Aquarium, then an Atlanta Braves game and this year he wanted to do another baseball game.  This is the last year our local Nashville Sounds will be in the old Greer Stadium so we decided to spend Friday night together celebrating Sol and celebrating our family at the ballpark.  It was perfect.

Sol chose pizza for dinner…eating in the actual pizza place…we got fancy.  Then we headed off to the ballpark and enjoyed sunflower seeds, M&Ms and ice cream in baseball hats.  Solomon was in heaven.  He is absolutely in love with baseball…he plays every single day…so being at a big ballpark and watching the big guys play made his heart happy.

There were even fireworks afterwards, the kids got to run the bases (those 3 little blurs our Kelley kids running super fast) and Harper was given two foul balls which she kindly gave to Sol and Huddy.  She’s a good sister.

Amon hung with us for the whole game, but while we waited for the kids to run the bases he gave into his tiredness.

We were some of the very last people in the stadium which was really cool and special for our family.  Everyone was exhausted, but we all agreed Sol’s choice for celebrating an amazing day in our family’s history was just perfectly perfect.

And what a special kid Solomon is…what an important role he plays in our family as son, little brother and big brother.  He’s simply amazing.

Happy Monday!
