September Wrap-up

September came and went so very quickly!  We certainly kept ourselves busy, but it was worth it!

Playdate at Lake Lansing Park with some of my co-workers and their kiddos
 


Preschool Open House at St. Gerard
  

Cheesin in daddy's shoes


Noah's FIRST haircut given by Aunt Chris :)  (Sept 3, 2015)
   

We watched MSU football's first game out on our deck with the neighbors and all the kids had fun playing together.  Caught them all sitting still watching Frozen.


My sweet little Noah popped his elbow out on Labor Day.  I had just gotten home from work in the morning and Noah was crying and holding his arm.  We took him to Urgent Care and he was diagnosed with nursemaid Elbow.  Basically his elbow joint dislocated due to a ligament slipping out of place.  Apparently this is common in young kids because their ligaments are still pretty loose, but it was still very scary.  Noah had x-rays and thankfully the doctor was able to just "slip" it back into place by bending and straightening his arm.


Snuggles with Mommy - I sure do miss her when she's at school
  

Tailgating with some of the best ladies in the world!  My MSU Gymnastics teammates!
   

Our babysitter braided Hannah's hair- She loved it!


Meeting Sparty at my work's NICU reunion picnic
  

Spending our days together without Sissy is hard work!


Love my 2 little ones :)


Celebrating my lady's 4th birthday!  Opening gifts in the mail from MeMom and PopPop (Hannah's great-grandparents, my grandparents)
     
Took the kids out to dinner since John was in TC for work on Hannah's actual birthday
 

Playing in Hannah's birthday present- a new tent                 Doing some serious reading!                
 

Playing dress-up.  Hannah asked Noah if he would marry her, then they had to do their true love dance :)


I love getting random texts like this from John when I am working at night.  He heard snoring upstairs and found Hannah asleep in the guest bedroom which is right at the top of the stairs.  I guess she wasn't quite ready to go to sleep, but ended up crashing anyway!  This kid- HAHA!!
 

John and I watching the MSU vs CMU football game

Hello fall, we are pretty excited to see you!  Looking forward to what is next to come :)
