Mary Poppins

Nana got Lily Mary Poppin's tickets for her birthday. Lily was so excited to wear her fancy dress. We all went out to dinner and Lily loved sipping on her Shirley Temple. We had a little extra time to kill so we told Lily we were going to order dessert. She did NOT wanted to dessert and wanted to go see Mary Poppins! When the play finally started, she was literally sitting on the edge of her seat. She would clap really hard. It was an AMAZING play. Mary flew and Bert danced on the ceiling.

Twins!

I love dressing the girls in the same outfit. Be certain that there will be many more pictures like this! They'll hate me when they're older! ha!

Bridget's Turns 1!

Another 1st Birthday! I can barely believe it. Bridget had a blast at her party, just watching all the people. She wasn't quite too sure about the birthday cake.

She decides she doesn't like it at all.

Well, maybe it's ok!

We even had a pinata. Can you see the huge bounce house in the background?

Yes, Tyler rented a bounce house. The kids absolutely loved it. We had about 15 kids under the age of 7...yikes! Bridge would just giggled watching them all jump. From time to time the air would stop blowing, so it would start to deflate and kids would just start flying out of it. It was kinda funny to watch! I'm pretty sure Lily thought the party was for her.

The birthday girl!

Happy Birthday Bridget! We love you!

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.

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.
