For Tayler...A Much Needed Update!!

I have been so bad at blogging, but had promised my awesome sister-in-law Tayler Johnson that I would start again. She is always blogging super cute stories about her little family and has inspired me to give it another go.

Fall 2013
We find ourselves very busy this Fall with a Preschooler, 3rd Grader and 7th Grader in Middle School. Where has the time gone? Also, this Fall I am spending my home time with a new little man. Will need to back blog his story later.

Andie is enjoying her social life as a 7th grader at Thatcher Middle School. Kind of crazy to think this was where I was when I met Lucas, ahh!! She is in Leadership, and loves all the aspects of that, from planning assemblies, dances, and running concessions for sporting events. She is also Manager for Volleyball and loves traveling with the team filled with some of her best friends. On top of all this she is getting to go to Church dances and Mutual. She was able to attend Girls Camp this last Summer and is really enjoying the activities for Young Women.

Avery is now a 3rd grader, in Mrs Petersen's class at Jack Daley Primary School. She will be starting Junior League Volleyball this week which should be fun. She was moved up in Gymnastics to Advanced and is hard away working on her back handspring. She has discovered a new love of skateboarding thanks to her friend Sophie down the street. She also is obsessed with anything American Girl and has already made up a Christmas list for us and Santa.

Erynn is just a fun, sweet, little girl. She just came up on her one year post-op anniversary and has been off of antibiotics since January with amazing results. We are so glad that she has been doing well and so grateful to her Pediatric Nephrologist Dr. Nguyen. She loves following Avery around and playing with Avery's friends. She too has moved up in Gymnastics and is now a Squirt. She is too cute. She has shown us that she is a great big sister, always wanting to help out with brother, but sometimes forgets to be careful.

Easton is now 4 months and a little butterball. He weighed 17 pounds 10 ounces at his last appointment which was about 2 weeks ago. He loves his sisters, they are always making him laugh. He is so fun to hug and cuddle with. We love his smile and laugh. He loves to pull on daddy's beard. It has been a little bit of an adjustment with a new baby, and him being a boy, but we wouldn't change it for the world. He is a good feeder (if you hadn't guessed) and sleeps relatively well in his crib. Still wakes for feedings, but once he's wrapped back up he goes right to sleep. We are so lucky we found a great sitter that enjoys him just as much as us, for the days when I am working.

We are heading into Fall, my favorite time of year and have already watched Avery and Erynn march in their first parade! We have Football in session, Halloween costumes on the way, the Fair is just around the corner and we are even enjoying some late season MLB cheering on my brother-in-law Elliot as he plays for the Braves!!! Woop Woop!!
