September Update

Since tomorrow is the last day of September, I thought I would do a recap of what we have been up to the last 10 days.

The afternoon after Chelsea's birthday party, there was a RSL day game, so we took the whole family. We had some friends with us, which made it extra fun. You've gotta love the girls in their RSL gear with the prom hair.

We even got London some RSL garb

Chelsea officially turned 5 on Sunday. We started the day by opening gifts:

And ended it with a special family dinner. The menu was no surprise-- spaghetti and meatballs, salad with ranch dressing, broccoli with Hollandaise sauce, and garlic bread-- all Chelsea's favorites.

It was fun to have Grandma, Grandpa, Great-grandpa and Honey with us

We sure love Chelsea. She is the bubbliest, giggliest, happiest, most affectionate and loving girl around. We hope she knows how special we all think she is.

On Monday Grandpa T and Annie were in town for a day, so they asked the birthday girl where she would like to go to dinner. She chose Benihana:

Always a family favorite

With Chelsea's birthday a success and over with, we've started planning Brighton's Superhero birthday bash. More on that later.

I love all the fun things I can do with my Mac

And a highlight was that we spent a few days in Denver with the Millers and Grandma and Grandpa. Sadly, I only took pictures at the Giants/Rockies game. I guess we were having too much fun to bother taking pictures...

They had the most spectacular fireworks show afterwards that I had ever seen

Siena, Reagan and Campbell stayed at the Millers with a babysitter, which worked out well for us-- because we all know that 3-year-olds and sporting events are not a great combination. Let's just suffice it to say that we all had a fabulous time.

The cousins were all so glad to be together, and it was a short, but great trip.

When we got back the girls were glad to be back at school,

And London turned 4 months old. At her check-up today she weighed just under 15 pounds, and at the 75th percentile is definitely still our biggest baby.

She is a happy, easy-going, sweet and smiley baby. And the best sleeper ever (hooray for me!). I'll admit it was rough the first few weeks (I was completely out of baby-mode), but we can't imagine our family without our little "Londy". We just love her to pieces.

I love those blue eyes and chubby cheeks!
