Update

Brad spent this past Saturday and most of Sunday up at the deer shack. He and Reed went, along with one of my uncles and a couple of my cousins. He was able to complete his deer stand, so that is good. He won't be making a return trip now until hunting season in November. I would post photos, but he took them to work, so I will try to add some at some point.

With Brad gone, the kids and I headed to my sister's place to hang out with her and her kids for Saturday and part of Sunday. The kids had lots of fun and my sister and I got to have some quality time, which is always nice.

Two weekends ago we got to have a nice visit with Brad's grandparents, sister and nieces. We went to visit them at their hotel and went swimming. We also went out to eat a few times. The kids were all excited to be together.

Sydney and Gabby (I am not sure about anyone else), both ended up with skin infection from the hot tub at the hotel. Sydney is on oral antibiotics and an antibiotic cream until Wednesday. It seems to be healing up nicely, so that is good.

Sydney LOVES school! She has been making lots of art and having lots of fun with her new friends. She always has lots to tell us after a day at school. Tomorrow is teddy bear day, so she gets to bring a teddy bear with her.

Christopher is doing so many cute things, as well as many mischevious things lately! He has been starting to dance (which is SUPER cute!), he also likes to spin in a circle like crazy and then keep trying to get up...then he falls down, which he thinks is hilarious! He loves to give mommy kisses and is getting very good at it! He doesn't like to kiss daddy much because of daddy's mustache! He also LOVES to climb. Brad was taking a shower one day when Sydney came running into the bathroom yelling that Christopher was on the table! He climbed the chair and was sitting on the table top, drinking a juice box that he wanted! At my sister's this past weekend, he would repeatedly climb on to her recliner, stand up and jump making the chair rock. We would take him down, and he would get right back on again!

I am done with school until the 6th. Then I start up again with three classes. I got A's in both my classes last quarter, so I am excited about that. I am really enjoying myself. My health is still good. My thyroid levels are better than they were with a thyroid! I am finally feeling normal again. I have a physical in November, so we will make sure that all is still well.

I am also thrilled to report that my wonderful husband got me tickets to go see NKOTB on October 21 at the XCEL and they are in the 11th row on the floor! My sister is going with me and it will be a blast. I can hardly contain my excitement!!

We have a busy weekend ahead. Our wonderful friends Brittany and Kevin are getting married on Saturday, we are also getting family photos taken on Saturday.

We hope this finds you all well!!
Love,
Stacey, Brad, Sydney, and Christopher

P.S. Shantell, I hope that you aren't too terribly uncomfortable! I feel for you dear, I was in your place not that long ago, but you know the rewards are priceless! LOVE YOU!! Let us know when he arrives! :)
