Other Than Ike...

So other than the Ike news September has been a pretty big month. It actually started out with another hurricane, Gustav, which brought Charlie's parents and Pete, Kissy and Katie here to Houston from New Orleans. Sadly Katie had to postpone her third birthday party because of Gustav - but I hope the substitute party was OK - and that she had a great 'make up' party this weekend! Although the circumstances for their visit were not so good, it turned out to be a fantastic Labor Day weekend and we really enjoyed their visit, and Gustav did bring some amazing and unseasonably nice weather to Houston on Labor Day, to make it even better.

Don't have too much time to write tonight so I will just post pictures instead.

Happy Birthday Katie!

We love that Birthday Girl!

The shirt (a gift) says 'Chicks Dig Me' with a picture of a baby chick - I thought it was totally cute, but I should not have been surprised that it attracted LOTS of attention when out in public. Whoever is selling these shirts is probably making a killing.

Dinner with the Diluzio's (CR is verrry close to bedtime)

Before I get any comments : ) - I moved the fan (which does not work at all) - and all other bookcase objects - permanently after this picture, I just had to show the look on his face here - 'when you say 'no' are you talking to me specifically momma?'. (He pushed the gate pictured to arrive at this location.)

Finally, on Thursday I picked up CR from daycare and was met at the door with him walking to me. I was stunned, I still am - I would like to upload some good video of it but when he does it I am still just trying to look out and make sure he does not fall over on his noggin. He is walking on his own at home today, but when he feels like it - as crawling is still a much faster way to get around.
