Happy Birthday!

We had three family birthdays last week and I apologize for being so late with this post. First, Brandon had a birthday on Oct. 3rd and then both Mary's (grandmother & mom) had a birthday on October 4th. Hope everyone had a great birthday! Speaking of birthdays, Sierra is turning 8 on October 14. We pick them up on Friday and are planning a bowling party on Saturday. She is so excited!

We had a very eventful week. First, I came down with bronchitis while Brett was in California. I had all three kids (Sierra, Pierce and Hudson) and lost my voice. Unfortunately, a few days later, Hudson came down with bronchitis. I am better (three prescriptions later), but Hudson is still coughing and congested...poor baby. He is growing so fast! Megan took him to the doctor for his four month check-up and he is 18 lbs, and 27" long. Hard to believe he was a preemie. He is already wearing 6-9 months clothes and won't be long until he outgrows those.

Everything else is going well. Sierra and Pierce both love school and we are getting fewer and fewer notes sent home regarding Pierce, so that's always a plus :) He has such a personality, but he loves to test his boundaries. I picked him up from pre-k one day last week and asked if he had a good day. He said he did. I then asked if he got into trouble at all. He said no, then stopped and thought for a second and said, yes, yes I did. Then he looked at me and said, "Mom, this is the funniest story, you are going to love it". He proceeded to tell me he had found a cricket on the playground that day when he arrived at school. He said he really wanted to keep it, but his teacher told him he had to leave it outside. So, as you can imagine, he decided to put it in his pocket. The problem was, he told some of the other kids and they told the teacher. She made him take it out of his pocket and put it back outside. Gotta love him!
