Happy Birthday

It's hard to believe but Braden turned 1 yesterday. I can't believe it has been a year already. Our lives have changed in so many ways since he arrived I couldn't even begin to describe it. Yesterday we had a birthday party for him with Nick's family. Needless to say he got tons of noisy toys and lots of clothes. It was a good time and I think he really enjoyed the cake as you can tell by the pictures. We were glad he was finally feeling better yesterday because on Thursday Nick took Braden to the doctor and we found out he has a double ear infection. He just had an ear infection a couple of weeks ago so we were a little surprised. He is on antibiotics again and seems to be doing well. Hopefully he will stay healthy now for a little while. Wednesday we are making our trip to Iowa for the holidays but will only stay a couple of days as we have a wedding back here on Saturday and Austin's (nephew) birthday party on Sunday. We are going to have another birthday party for Braden at Mom and Dad's on Thursday for lunch--boy is this kid spoiled. Well there are new pictures in the November album if you are interested. Hope to see many of you this weekend.

Happy Birthday to Miss McKenna--she turned 1 yesterday as well.

Happy belated Halloween

Well we took Braden out last night for his first Halloween. He, of course, was Superman. He seemed to have a pretty good time and enjoyed the toys he got from the relatives. We have been having a mini vacation with Braden this week. He, unfortunately, has a contagious virus and cannot go to daycare until it is cleared so Nick and I have been taking turns staying home with him. Since he isn't feeling bad it has been kind of fun. Other than that there haven't been many things happening around here, just the usual. I have added new pictures in the November 2006 album if you want to take a look. There are some of Braden in his costume.

On a different note, I ask that people pray for my uncle Denny so that he may get through his health issues quickly and completely. For those of you interested in my friend Paul, his wife is still hanging on and will be 33 weeks pregnant on Friday. Continue the prayers for them as well.
