A busy summer

It has been too long since I last updated the blog, so I will attempt to catch everyone up. We are enjoying a great summer together! Garrett and I are both off work for the most part. We have gone to Silver Dollar City, the zoo, Cardinal's games, birthday parties, etc.

We are having so much fun.

Garrett has recently received a new job. Instead of teaching again next year, he has accepted a position as Assistant Principal at the same high school where he has been teaching for the past few years. I am very proud of him! I think he is really going to enjoy the change.

Easton turns 7 on Saturday. We are going to be out of town, so we had his party last weekend. We had about 30 people over. About 20 minutes after everyone got here, Easton got a migraine, started throwing up, and missed the rest of his party. We had cake and ice cream, and games without him. We will have another family party this weekend since we did not even get to sing happy birthday to him. I am sure he will remember this one for several years.

Keaton is Keaton. Never a dull moment, and keeps us laughing all the time.

About 4-5 weeks ago Keaton got a bump on the back of his leg. At first I thought it was some kind of bite, but after it did not go down I took him in to see our Pediatrician. After looking at it, she said it was not a bite. She thought possibly it was a cyst, and sent us over for an ultrasound. She called a little later to inform us that it was not a cyst, but a "growth/mass" of some kind. She referred us on to see a surgeon, and he will look at it again on Monday, to see if surgery is necessary. He does not act like it hurts too much, so that is good. I will keep you updated on that.

Both boys are still playing ball. Easton's team is undefeated, and doing great! He is having so much fun. Keaton's team does not keep score, but he LOVES it anyway.

Claire is doing well. She will be 11mths old tomorrow. She is cruising around the furniture, and just a step behind her brothers most of the time. She is getting two upper teeth this week, so she has been a little fussy. She has continued to do well with food, and is almost on all table food. She is still sleeping through the night, usually about 12 hours at a time. She is taking good naps during the day, and is in her own bed for the first time this week. She weighs almost 18 lbs and has grown about 1/2 an inch since getting home.
