SEPTEMBER.....

It has taken us some time to adjust to the new school schedule around here!!! I think we are finally understanding that we cant stay up late and that we have to take more baths!!!! This is a picture of my "biggest bestest" helper Jack! He is a dream come true. He scrubs toilets ,washes counters, dishes and now vacuums!!! He is a gift from Heaven!!!! On a sad note, we found out that our best furry child Lou has Lymphoma. I could tell when we got home from Utah that he wasn't feeling well. He just turned 9 this summer. I am devastated and I am glad that Matt was with me at the oncologist appt. I was barely able to speak! He is a huge part of our family. He has been through everything with us, each pregnancy, each house, each child. He had his first chemo appt 2 weeks ago and is back to his playful self. Although we know it is not a cure we are enjoying every moment spent with him. He has enjoyed his 3 home cooked meals of chicken, rice and beef!! He is an angel to me and I cant imagine him not in our family! This is part of his morning routine, he goes up stairs after eating and looks in the closet or bathroom for my p.j's from the night before! Then he carries it around and lays at the top of the stairs with it!! It is pretty cute!

On to preschool!!!! This is the boys first day of "big" school! As you can see Spencer was ready to go and Jack was anxiously eating his shirt!! Now each day when we pass this bench they ask me to take their picture!! My big boys!!
Lincoln and Addy day 1 of school!!! Lincoln has been great walking her to class and taking care of her on the bus!

And last but not least... Addy lost her first tooth!! It was loose for months and she would not allow anyone to touch it! She was terrified it would hurt when it came out! We got lucky and it fell out while eating a turkey sandwich! There was no blood, no drama!
