Time for a quick update, unfortunately not quite as glorious as we hoped the fall season would start.
We had a pretty low key Labor Day weekend Daddy was on call that weekend so we had to stay close to home. We did some geocaching around the area, I had my first find, which was fun. We had grandma over for a BBQ and got the kids ready for school.

School started its all going very smoothly, Samuel likes his Kindergarten teacher a lot and Steven seems to be doing well so far in his freshman year, very excited about upcoming drivers ed. :-)
Sarah keeps growing like wheat and I find myself pulling more and more small items from her closet. I don’t think there is much if anything left that is 24 Months size most is already 2T and 3T and is going into 7 ½ and size 8 shoes……lol…. Her hair is getting pretty long and we are awaiting our home visit for the 6 months CCAA update. She is talking up a storm and continues to be a very good eater and sleeps pretty solid all night long. She is very funny when we go thru our bedtime routine sing lullabies and she starts belching out one of the German Lullabies we sing. She loves to play tea party in her room with her brother and her favorite toy seems to be the Doodle Draw Pad these days.

After this past weekend it was clear thought that dance has to wait till spring between on call weekends for Dad, Soccer season starting for the boys and by the time we get out of church on Sundays there is just no time to get to dance in time afterwards.
So we will try to keep busy between geocaching, orchards and some other fun festivals that we spotted upcoming in the Saint Croix Valley.

Unfortunately both of the little ones have been sick though Sarah has been battling a cough Samuel pretty much has been home with fever and a cold all week.
We hoped to spend the day at Afton tomorrow at the Orchard but that may not be an option if he does not get any better. Thus is the season of colds :-/

Hopefully by the next update everyone is well again.
