September Happenings

Wow, it's September already! This month we have already been a little busy. Here's what going on with us!


**HUNTER'S FIRST SOCCER GAME**

On Saturday, September 8th, Hunter played in his first of many soccer games! He chose to be #5 because it's like Matt Holliday of the Colorado Rockies. He's had plenty of practice with daddy, but it was a whole different story being on the field with 10 other kids all trying to get the ball at the same time! He was a little overwhelmed at first, but quickly caught on and got in the game. Their team (the Lions) won 5-2 and Hunter scored one of those goals!

If you've never seen a soccer game of 3 & 4 year olds, it's quite amusing. When the whistle blew to signal the start of the game, the kids mostly just stood around and looked at each other. Some of the kids started to run off the field in the middle of the game, kids were kicking the ball in the wrong direction and of course they were all tripping over each other. It was a blast to watch! You can watch this video of after the game:





**MEGHAN IS TWO MONTHS!**
Our little Meghan is already two months old and growing strong. She's almost nine pounds now, meaning she has gained weight at a great rate since being born. It's hard to believe that some babies are born at the size she is now! She has been a little colicky lately so we are trying to figure out her feedings a little differently, so we'd appreciate your prayers with that.

In this picture, Meghan is sitting in a "Bumbo" seat - they are awesome! As soon as a baby can hold their head up, they can sit in this Bumbo seat that supports their body. It's a great thing to have so that baby doesn't always have to be lying on her back during her awake times.


**A SPECIAL VISIT**
When we were engaged, we were mentored by a wonderful couple for pre-marital counseling. We haven't seen Jim and Sue Bailey in nearly eight years, but we received a treat last week when they called to say they were in town! We had such a nice visit with them.



**MOTORCYCLE BABIES**
