Nolan's First Day of Pre-K

Feel the love!!!!!!! Eryn's been a great big sister to help Nolan on his first day of school!

Nolan and the Straube boys waiting for the bus

On Tuesday Nolan said goodbye to daycare (for most of the time anyway) and hello to school! He has literally been waiting a whole year for this day and was SO excited! There were no tears shed (by him or Mom) and he had a wonderful first (and second day)! Today he was a little disappointed that he couldn't go to school (they have Fridays off). Yeah!!

Kelly and Thomas' Wedding

Nolan, Carter and Eryn

Leann, Derek and Maura

My beautiful cousin Kelly got married last weeked to Thomas.... unfortunately any pics I took of the bride and groom didn't turn out (due to lighting) so you are going to have to take my word on it that she was stunning!!

The kids had a great time on the dance floor, working to perfect those moves for Mike and Jodi's wedding (in less than a month!). Derek got in on his share of fun too, with his great aunts!

First Day of 2nd Grade

Eryn started the 2nd grade on August 18...where does the time go? (I should count how many times I say that on this blog:). She has a great teacher, and enjoys school!

The splint is off!

Eryn's arm continues to heal at a good pace. She had another check up last week and got the splint taken off. She is now wearing a brace for the next couple of weeks. It hasn't stopped her too much though (except for riding her bike!). We are very blessed that she is a healthy young girl!

9 month checkup

Derek had his 9 month check up this week, weighing in at 20 lb 15 oz! What a growing boy! He's still in the 50% for his age!

Arm Update

Eryn had her follow up appointment this morning, along with xrays. Good news! The arm is healing well, so well that she may get the splint off in 2 weeks:) She can also ditch the sling next week (except for at school). YEAH!!!

We celebrated with a trip to Dunning Springs and the Fish Hatchery. What an awesome day!!

Our Little Ham

Standing, even taking a few steps at a time, depending on how "daring" he wants to be!

Check out this little guy! 9 1/2 months old already! He loves to try and keep up with his siblings, thank goodness for baby gates to keep him safe! He is getting faster with his walker and taking more and more steps on his own. It won't be long until he's running around with the other two kids!
