September was another fun month. At the beginning of the month we signed Lily up for a class at the park district called "Princess Tea Party". She was a little scared at first to be in the class alone (surprising since she was doing fine in school). After she realized that we were just in the hallway waiting, she was fine. It was a very cute class. All of the girls (including the teacher) were dressed like princesses. They did crafts, singed, danced and learned some things about princesses. She really enjoyed it!! That same weekend Jim's brother Aaron was turning THIRTY!!! So there was a party for him to celebrate! Everyone had a great time. Jim REALLY enjoyed getting and giving Aaron his gag gifts which included a hair replacement piece. It was all in good fun!!
DJ moved a little closer to becoming a BIG BOY when we got him a twin bed. He was very excited to sleep in it and had no problems moving from his crib to it.
DJ also took a class through the park district with Mom. It was called nature babies and was held at one of the parks in town. We took nature hikes and learned about a bunch of different wild life stuff. DJ's favorite class was one where we met at the green house and observed Humming Birds. He STILL talks about it MONTHS later. In the slide show below you will see pictures where I took both kids there one day. DJ wanted to show Lily the humming birds.
We continued to enjoy the beautiful weather by taking bike rides and playing with friends. Our friends Joel and Michelle Gordan came with their three children to visit. It was a great time. Later in the month we took a trip to Champaign where we were able to visit some old friends. We spent a day with the Tutich Family, who Christy used to nanny for. Alexa and Maddie were about 7 and 4...they are now 15 and 12!!!! Time really flies!!! They are both growing to be beautiful and wonderful young ladies! We had a GREAT time and the kids loved playing with the girls! The rest of the trip Jim had to work while the kids and I toured Champaign-Urbana checking out all that has changed. The kids enjoyed going to the park while Christy enjoyed checking out her old stomping grounds (went by U of I, old apartment and house). We also took some time to see the Miller family. Art, Kirstin and Brianna are doing great. They were happy to share their news with us that they are expecting their second child in 2009. We also met with Pam Garrison, who Christy did her Student Teaching with. It was so nice visiting with her and having her see how big the kids have gotten.
Last but NOT least, Christy went to her first Bears game since the 2003 season!!! Between being pregnant and having babies at home (and not wanting to leave them) she opted out of going for several years. Well she wasn't going to miss a game this year!!! She took her best friend Andrea to the first home game against Tampa Bay. For those of you that don't know...Tampa is Christy's 2nd favorite team!! The weather was AWESOME and we had a GREAT time!!! We can't WAIT for next season!!
