A Great Birthday for Great Grandma

Happy Birthday to Great Grandma Della!  We were lucky enough to celebrate the day of her birth on her actual birthday, Sunday, September 25th.  Mom and Dad hosted the party with all of the Mackus side and it was a fun day.  It really felt like Fall with the chill in the air, the fireplace roaring and the football game on TV (Bears vs Packers no less!).

Rewind to Saturday - we had a Great day at Great America with Kristin and Cory.  We went with a private event, so there were really short lines and we hit a ton of great coasters. Literally we walked onto to Superman, did it, then walked around and did it again.  Then we felt sort of sick, not gonna lie.  It was so fun hanging out just the four of us, we had a fabulous time!  Thanks Donna and Emil for watching Luke all day, and for the Chinese food dinner too - yum yum.

Lukers has been babbling a lot more and is altogether the cutest baby ever.  As it has grown a bit colder we tried letting him sleep with a baby blanket in his crib, and he seems to like it.  He keeps it on him for the whole night.  His favorite toy this week is definitely his popper toy.  Here is a video of him playing with it in the driveway and a few cute shots from the week.

Fun with pulling the electric blanket cord

I took Luke to gymnastics last Monday and we had so much fun.

We received the rest of the Shutterwinks pictures and there were some other really cute ones!  I posted some of our favorites here.
