"Bear Down, Chicago Bears..."

On Saturday night, Rick and I took the girls to their very first Chicago Bears game. Both the girls got into the game, cheering, high-fiving everyone around us, and of course singing the "Bear Down" song. We ended up beating the NY Giants 17-3. We were looking good.

Hopefully that continues all season.

GO BEARS!!!!!

California Dreamin'

Last Wednesday August 12th, we took our first trip to California with the girls. It was their first airplane ride also. They did great on the plane (Thank God for portable DVD players!!) The trip itself was an experience. It was definitely NOT a vacation. At points, it was very stressful, and then it would be wonderful. All in all, the girls had a great time playing on the beach, going to Sea World, and meeting all our friends back in L.A. and San Diego.

"Papa, Did you fasten your seat belt?"

"We are ready for the beach!!"

"WOW! Check out all this sand!!"
