Vacation Pictures

Pictures of our vacation have been posted. We had such a fun time and both Mitch and I were sad to have to come home so soon. We're planning an awesome beach vacation next summer with my mom's whole family so we have that to look forward to. I'm hoping the thought of that will get us through the winter.

Update

Thanks for your prayers. My cousin suffered a broken neck, severely sprained ankle, and many other bumps and bruises. He is still in the hospital but is doing pretty well considering. The boys were released on Monday night. Taylor has to wear a neck brace for a week and they both just need to take it easy. They are all very, very lucky to be doing so well.

Please Pray

My cousin Nick and his two boys were in a head on collision this morning. Nick and the youngest, Taylor, have been transferred to Iowa City. I think that Logan is being released and is OK. Nick is not in good shape and needs prayers. Thanks!!!!

I can't believe how cold it is out. When we got up this morning our house was 65. This place does not hold its temperature well at all. It takes on the outside temp immediately so we have to go straight from air conditioning to heat and then right back to air. Hmmm...why are we moving?!? Poor Drew is in sweatpants that are too long and rolled up and a sweatshirt that's too small. I didn't think I'd have to dress him in winter clothes yet so I don't have anything that fits him quite right.

It wouldn't let me post all the pics in one entry.

Friday and Saturday went pretty good with Chase and Drew. It was definitely crazy here but we managed. It was fun to have someone for Drew to play with. They do pretty well together. It's nice because they are both developmentally in the same place being able to crawl and pull themselves up. I think that helps make it easier for them to be able to play together. Even though Drew enjoyed playing with Chase, I think he was happy to have all Mom and Dad's attention back on him Sunday.

On Sunday we drove to Williamsburg to hit the outlet mall. They were having sidewalk sales so we got great deals on Drew's clothes for this winter. It was perfect timing since it's beginning to get cold out. Yesterday was so hot...90 and today it's a wonderful 67 out. I love fall and am so excited it's finally cooling off. The only time I really love the heat of the summer is if there's a pool near by. Otherwise, I'm not a hot weather girl.

Yesterday was Drew's first day at daycare. I was extremely worried about it and almost threw up on the way over there in the morning. I had nothing to worry about though because he did great. He started playing right when we got there and didn't seem to be scared of her at all. She got smiles from him right away which made me feel better. She said he was so good and had a fun time. He had gotten up way earlier than normal (like he knew it was a big day) so then he fell asleep on the way there. The nap combined with a new place and new person taking care of him caused him to not be able to take his morning nap. He then took a four hour afternoon nap!!!! Then he went right back to playing and exploring his new play room.

Oh, Drew also got two more teeth this weekend. Now he was three on the bottom and one on the top. The top one isn't one of the front ones so he's going to look pretty silly for a little while.13344444444444444444444444444444444444444444444449 (that last part is a message from Drew.. He just stood up and started typing)

I've got to run and get the chili going for supper. I decided to welcome the great cooler weather with a good bowl of soup. I'm so excited.
