Updates!!!

Wow I can not believe that summer is almost over. To me that is okay because I know that Nick will be home next summer to enjoy all the things that the boys and I got to do this summer! Speaking of Nick, he is doing well and working really hard. Well that is actually all he does seven days a week. As of right now he is will be getting his two week leave in early December and we can not wait! September the fifth will mark him being gone for six months, and we will have at least six more to go.

Barrett just had surgery #9! However this surgery was fast and Dr.Gupta did not have to a skin graft so we were able to take him home that morning. This surgery was to release his thumb and remove some more scar tissue. Dr.Gupta said that this should be the last surgery for at least another year. Oh let's hope!!! The next day Barrett was doing so well that Grandma and I took him to the state fair. You see my mom and dad had Griffen (Thanks mom and dad) and since Nick has been gone Barrett and I had not had the chance to spend some time together. So we took advantage of the moment. We had a blast! Also this week Barrett start Pre-K. Our little boy is growing up.

Barrett loves the roller coaster

He actually took a picture with me

Oh those slides

Griffen is sixteen months old and learning new things each day. He still has a head full of hair and he is expanding his vocabulary when he wants too. He loves to push his dump truck and he loves for someone to push him in it. This week he will be starting a mother's day out program at church, so I am hoping this all goes well. He has gotten a little too attached to me and I am hoping this is going to help in the transition of not hanging onto me when I go somewhere without him. All in all we are doing good. We are trucking along and wait for that part of the day when we get to talk to
