We all made it!

Kade had a great doctors appointment this week. We saw the heart specialist, it was a different partner than we usually see. Kade did not enjoy the echo, he did not want any part of laying up on that bed for 20 mins....much less laying still! But we finally got it and they said he is still in the mild category with a slight improvement. She said that with his physical growth, it made some improvement. She explained to me that they will continue to check him yearly. She doesn't see any issues that would stop him from doing any activities or sports that he wants. She said that sometimes they may see things change in his teen years or in later adult years and then again, it may keep where it is at forever!

With Kade's hair cut you can see his goose egg better. Just think it is a week old in this pic!

This was our big week. We started school, daycare and it was back to work for mom. The first day I ended up leaving some things at home. These were very important things that dad had to end up going back for ...of course I did not remember them all at once, so he had to make a couple trips home for me. I had forgotten the "horns" to my pump as well as the days supply of milk for Katelyn. The second day I got up 15 minutes earlier so that I would not feel as rushed and still ended up forgetting a bottle. This was a hug deal, because Linda (our babysitter) was gone for a funeral and Lynne did not have a bottle. So I ended up calling Linda before she left to get hers, saving me a trip back home. I hope next week goes a little better!

First day of school



The girls were so excited about starting school! They have had a lot of fun so far. Friday they had a school wide assembly to get the kids started selling their fundraiser items. Haleigh volunteered to go up on stage and be the magician assistant. So much for my shy little Haleigh! She was so excited and proud of herself for doing it.... it was great to see. Then we went to Family Fun night, to kick off the school year. Grandma took Katelyn home with her so that the big kids could play games. Kade had some troubles with the the waiting in line and giving the items back. He really wanted to keep the putter from the Hole in one game! Maybe next year will be better!
Then we met up with dad and went to the Trappers Celebration. It was fun, but abnormally cool for this time of year so they kids grew cold and tired fast.
