September

with september beginning i find myself in a catch -22 of sorts... i’m anxious for warren to begin his school-year curriculum and the concept of cooler weather... then i have to experience growing another year older. at least at the age of 33 i have a wonderful husband, gorgeous kids and a home to show for it :)
this year i was able to celebrate my birthday with my parents, sister and brother’s families. the attached photos show ellie and her dad on my birthday as well as another of her sitting on my lap.
we have all been really busy this month. warren is learning about patterns in preschool and has become fascinated with ‘ben ten’. :) ellie is amazing! she is now crawling, pulling up on everything, giving kisses and has her first tooth! the photo of her on grandpa watson’s lap is the day her tooth finaly arrived (090707). has been shocking to us as warren didn’t crawl until he was 10 months old! therefore our home looks like a penitentiary with closed doors, gates and barriers everywhere. so far she hasn’t bonked her forehead on the coffee table, but give her time. she’ll earn her stripes!
still waiting for jessie to have jack. i talked with her yesterday and she is so tired of being pregnant! :) she has been dilated for a few weeks but other than that, no other progression. her due date is sept. 28, so keep her in your thoughts that she delivers early!
barry’s wife, brittany, found out for certain that she is having a girl! i’m hosting a baby shower for her on oct. 20 if anyone wants to attend. nothing fancy, just lots of food, mizzou football on tv (maybe) and spoiling brittany and baby grace!
we hope you and yours are well!
