Here I am at home, I thought I would be at the hospital cuddling a new baby. But because of scheduling conflicts at the hospital, the baby isn't coming today, unless he comes on his own timing, which part of me hopes that he does! But the other part of me thinks it's best that he waits for a few days so that I don't have my stitches tear through. So I thought today would be a great day to relax and do almost nothing. Kyrie and I have been watching The Little Mermaid over and over while the boys have been at school. I love having them back at school, it has been a good change, and it is so nice the boys are both full day. We did 1/2 days with Hayden for 4 years, and those half days were hard. I am used to this already and I love it. This week has been quiet and my house stays clean longer. Dusty loves being back in class and Hayden says he likes it except for how long it is. He comes home tired and ornery, but I know it will take just a little time for him to adjust, or maybe a nap for him after school would be nice too! It's hard for me to believe I have a child in 3rd grade! I took a few pictures of their first day and it was so bright outside that they didn't turn out very well, so I tried editing some of them and I'm not too good at that.


Dusty got put in the same class as one of his best buds Joshua. They were best friends in kindergarten, but haven't been in the same class since until this year.Kyrie couldn't be left out, she had to get her backpack all ready to walk her brothers to their first day of school.For family home evening last week we made tie-dye shirts. I didn't realize what a mess it would make. We are waiting for the baby to come and we'll get a picture of us all wearing them!


Just before school started we had a couple more family outings. One of them was going back to the reservoir. It was the perfect day to go, there was hardly anybody there. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to relax! I love the time I have been able to spend with my kids and Chris this summer, but I am gladly saying good-bye to summer and the heat this year. I am so ready and excited for the fall festivities and weather!

Oh my goodness Staci, I almost didn't believe these were your kids! They are so grown up... Has it been this long already? This is sad and needs to be fixed. we NEED to get together, and you can tell Chris I say he needs to learn how to use a camera! I want to see some pictures with you and the kids. I can't wait to see your new little addition! We love you guys.--Heather, Ian, and Abby
