The Hecht's: September 2009

Justin & I took in the Vikings season home opener for our second wedding anniversary gift to each other. The game was amazing. The Vikes took it all the way down to the last 2 seconds to win the game against the 49ers. The ending score was 27 to 24. Our seats were great - section 116 row 8. We sat right next to the tunnel where the Vikes left the game.

Here are a few pictures from the game.

Here we are three weeks into September and Brooke is four weeks into walking. No, I didn't mistype that. She's been walking since August 29, about one week shy of her being 10 months old. Incredible I know. She took her first steps while Grandma Wendy was here with her. We're a little bummed we didn't see them first, but it's still exciting to see her walk around the house. And, walking is all she basically does anymore. She barely ever crawls no matter how many bumps and bruises she gets when she falls. And boy is she ever Miss Independent. She doesn't want much help either.

We've been pretty busy the last month and we don't slow down for a while. At the end of August, Justin, Terry (my brother) and I went to Minneapolis for a Twins game and the MN State Fair. Thanks to Rosy and Rick Tedesco, we had a great time. Then, Labor Day weekend, Cody, Brooke and I went to Minot for Grandpa Kenny and Uncle Terry's birthdays. This was also Brooke's first trip to the Zoo. Justin spent that weekend at Lake of the Woods with all th boys. Next weekend we go to Minneapolis for Erica & Ricardo's wedding and then to a Viking's game (vs. 49ers). Brooke will stay with Grandma Patti that weekend. And finally, at the beginning of October, Brooke & I will go to Sioux Falls for a girls weekend getaway and stay at my friend Lindsay's house. Then, I better get my butt in gear to plan her 1st birthday party.

Life doesn't slow down for us. But I love every second of it. Here are some recent pictures. They are in no specific order. Enjoy and don't forget to CELEBRATE LIFE!
