Oh Lily...

Chatard has a group called SERV (Students Encouraging Religious Vocations). Yesterday, there was an all school Mass for priests, brothers, and sisters in our area. After Mass we held a small reception and I was in charge of the food. I picked up Dunkin Donuts on the way to school and let Lily nibble (or devour) one. She helped me bring them into the building and here is the conversation we had.

Lily: "Mom, why are you bringing in our donuts?"
Me: "Because they are for the priests."
Lily: "Mom, tell those priests NOT TO EAT ALL MY DONUTS."

ha! What a nut!

To Chicago We Go

From South Bend we went to go see GG, Bamma, and Papa. We had a relaxing and fun weekend with them.

Bridge and GG.

Lily and GG swinging at the Park.

Bamma and Papa got the girls a playhouse for their birthday. They LOVE it. I'll get pics and post them soon.

Purdue Game

We travelled up to South Bend last weekend for the Purdue/ND game. The outcome wasn't exactly how we hoped, but it was still a blast.

It is documented here. Tyler and I without children, drinking a beer. It doesn't happen often.

Lily, Maggie, (Mike and Lisa (my cousin) Fitzpatrick's daughter), Elisa (Patrick (my cousin) and Becky McCusker's daughter), hanging out at the tailgate. None of them seem too happy to be there, though.

11 Months Old

Do you believe it's September already? I'm still confused where the summer went. Our little Bridgey Bridge turned 11 months old. She has no teeth yet, but is loving any kind of food we give her and likes the taste of whole milk. She is blowing kissing, giving kissing, and kissing herself in the mirror. She has just started to walk a couple of steps while pushing her toys.

This was actually the last picture I look. She was DONE sitting there.

Hey Birthday Bear's nose!

Bridge had her eyes closed in almost all of the pics.

Trojan Tailgate

Lately, our Friday nights have been consumed by BCHS football. The weather has been beautiful and Lily has tons of friends to run around with. At one of the games Lily's preschool got to race across the football field during halftime.

Here they are getting ready to race.

All of the little Trojan Tots.

Bridget hanging out with Uncle Bubba because she isn't quite ready to race.

Hanging out with her friend Abby. Because Lily goes to school at Chatard, lots of the high school kids know her. After the race, Lily was returning to her seat via the track. Some of the girls in the stands were cheering for her and she elegantly waved to all of her fans. She thinks she is a hot shot!

At one of the games hanging out with one of her buddies Erin. Can you tell she adores Erin?
