Lot's Going On in September...

This month has been a busy one for sure, but as I stop to think about it, aren't they all busy?  I think so!  Nonetheless, we have had a lot of fun.  Though September isn't quite over, we have enjoyed celebrating Big E turning 4 years old, going to Chicago for CCDA with Brittany (yep, it was a "kid-free" trip as they spent time with the family in Wyoming) AND, this one is hard to believe, Elijah started pre-school!

The big 4 year old.  Elijah is LOVING being four... it is almost hard to believe that he was every three.  His most recent fascination is with Batman, as you might be able to tell.  In addition to the shirt and cake, he was also given a big Batman toy that he plays with.  He enjoys playing "pretend", as anyone here can attest to, and is often heard saying, "Pretend you're...".  

A group effort to make a "Batman" Cake!

What a cake and what a friend!

  

Without a doubt, this IS E's favorite shirt!

Enjoying the party!

The "Bean"

  Going to Chicago.  This fall also marks the start of the Fellowship House, an urban internship I have been working to start here in Billings.  We just so happen to have the greatest intern ever, Brittany, who also happens to be a cousin!  The three of us had a great time in Chicago, visiting Aunt Wendy and living it up downtown Chicago.  Oh yeah, we were located right by the Bean.  I mean seriously, is this not the coolest thing you have ever seen?

Saying goodbye

Going to school.  Yep, it is true, our little boy is growing up!  Returning from his trip to Wyoming he started pre-school, though he also had the privilege of going to school with his aunt who is a pre-school teacher in Jackson (which he loved, I might add).  Though it was a rough start at first, he assured us that he really like school and was having a lot of fun.  I think we took a turn for the better this week, praise God!
