What a fun weekend! Friday Paul got off early from work so we all went to the pool together and met Susan and baby James. Then out to dinner with Bill and Melissa for Melissa's birthday at Chili's. Delicious margaritas. Saturday morning we walked to Castaldo Park for the cheap hot dogs and beer. All the kids had their fireworks t-shirts we made, they turned out so cute (Suzi's idea, thanks!). It rained the whole time but it didn't stop all of Woodridge. We cut out a bit early to head to Sue's annual barbeque at her place in Winfield. We moved to the garage due to the rain but Paul still caught 11 fish. Dan wouldn't give up and got one also. Aunt Amy and Aunt Patty were in as usual for the week, we also saw them for a movie and dinner last week. Joan came in for the weekend. It was great to see everyone. We spent the rest of the day there. We stopped on the way home and saw fireworks (Warrenville's, we think) which were great. Gabe wanted me to cover his eyes. I'm not sure why but he peeked through and watched them anyway. He really ended up liking them. Cooper stared! Couldn't pull his eyes away. Sunday was productive. We dug all the weeds out of the 'prairie' unintenionally growing in our backyard. Now we just have to decide what to do next. That's another story. Sunday afternoon we went to celebrate Billy's 1st birthday. What a cutie! Home for more yard work after that. It never ends but check out my lillies...I am getting some satisfaction from this work!
Cooper had his 3 month birthday. He is reaching out and touching everything with a look of complete concentration on his face. So fun to watch and cheer him on. Gabe is starting his "Early Beginnings" class tomorrow. All 2 year olds, no parents, 2 teachers (good luck, right?). They will do a craft, sing songs, play in the gym, have a snack, etc. I'm excited. I'll keep you all posted how it goes.
