So, as you will see below, I have posted many of the things that have happened in the past month. Can you tell Laura went back to school?!? It was a very chaotic beginning to school in a long time, but we are now settling in...if only Adam didn't have to work until 10 or later many nights. We were supposed to take Kyle to his first MSU tailgate and game today, but it has been raining non-stop all day. So instead, I had to clean the house before I went crazy from stuff being everywhere.
9 months is such a fun age! Kyle finally crawls the "real" way, instead of scooting, and along with pulling himself up on EVERYTHING, he apparently thinks he knows how to walk like us because he just lets go of whatever he's holding onto. He will be walking before we know it! He tried ham today and absolutely loved it! We knew this because every spoonful, he kept licking his lips...a lot! And his first word is book! Well, he says gook! but every time he sees a book or we pick one up, he says Gook! I don't think I could be more proud (that's the teacher in me). He has been so cuddly lately and gives lots of hugs and seems to have adjusted well to his new "school" after a few weeks of some rough days here and there. We love our little guy so much! Now, if we could just get Adam home from work at a decent hour, life would be even better! And it's not even tax season yet!
So, sorry I have not been blogging on a regular basis! I will work on it. That's all for now folks! XOXO
We spent the last weekend up at Mackinac Island. We were quite lucky to have such sunny weather and the colors were starting to change. Kyle was a champ and loved going around the island in the Burley. He slept in my arms the whole way over on the ferry. And he enjoyed the butterfly house too with Wendy and Brian! (This was pre-haircut...should have kept it long)
I know it's not Halloween yet, but we started the celebration early with our friends Chris, Jess, and Jesse and took the boys to the Detroit Zoo for the Zoo Boo. The boys even stayed up past their bedtime and loved seeing all the costumes! And the Dad's loved it too (what were you drinking? Hmmmm) Along the way, there were cool pumpkin exhibits (see pics) and we saw a few animals (no, I am not talking about the Rushlows-we saw them too :)) but will have to go back to see the polar bears another day. We got some candy too! Yum, yum! Moo and Ribbit, for now!
P.S. Yes, I got my haircut...and I don't like it, but we all know hair grows!
Here are some pictures of Mom and Larry's wedding! It was a nice day and everyone looked dandy! Congrats!
So, being that Kyle's first word is book "gook" you know he LOVES books. In fact, lately, after we read a book, if he wants to hear it again, he gets down-right whiny so that we will read it again! His teacher-mom is so proud! He even knows how to turn the page on his own too! And I was waiting for someone to comment on a previous blog as to how impressed you were that we were reading to Kyle while tailgating! So, I will post the picture again for you to see! (and maybe you will even make a comment)
We celebrated Great-Granny's 91st birthday on Sunday! We made her salad, spaghetti, bread, cookies, and brought a cake too! She liked her chocolate and should be set until Christmas! Kyle showed off for her and got a good laugh trying to smell her pretty roses!
Kyle had a blast at his first tailgate and football game! The weather was sunny and pretty hot...a beautiful day for Spartan football! He loved trying to get to beer bottles to suck on and meet all his new Spartan friends. And he learned how to scream and cheer at the game and even started to do the fight song a little bit (waving his arms is close enough!). He did greaaaaat for a 14 hour day from leaving home to getting back home at night! And he's a good luck charm because we won against Notre Dame! (even though they're not that good this year)
