Again... So it has been a while

 It seems like this summer has been non stop. Chase has been a super trooper and has been more places than a lot of adults that I know in the last 4 months! We are getting ready to go to NY again.. Whoooo hooo... 10 Year class reunion. Who knew we were so old already! Thinking back over everything that has happened in the last 10 years is awesome and amazing! We are looking forward to seeing everyone. Luke and I are also going to attempt to play in the alumni soccer game. This should be interesting. The last time I played I ended up with a torn ACL and MCL. Sweet! I can't afford to be laid up for a few weeks!
   This has been a crazy week. We are still trying to get over this allergy/sickness that the boys and I have had since our trip home in Sept. The boys have really runny noses and have thrown up flem a bunch... i know.. thanks for sharing! Just want to make sure I stress how fun the last few weeks have been...  Work for Luke has been busy, thank the lord!!! The parade of homes is this weekend so he was finishing up a few odd things. And he was building a table at home after dinner. My job has been busy too. We have hired a new office assistant and she is doing great. We have just been super busy with things. It is getting harder and harder to take Kayden into the office with me. I understand that it is not fair for him so hopefully this preschool will call and he will get 2 half days a week. I think he would love the interaction with the kids. I have been lucky enough to be able to work from home after the boys go to bed. I lost my voice while we were in NY and just got it back a few days ago.. it is still groggy here and there. But we are not whispering anymore. Although I did say that I didn't mind the whispering, I loved going to bed and thinking that I didn't yell at Kayden today!!!! Wow... 2 is a crazy age. I love him more than I can tell you but wow it is fun when they test their limits and try to figure out what they can and can't get away with. He is a really good boy most of the time. There are those small moments when you think... are you sure this is the sweet little boy saying mamum pezzzz???? Chase is wonderful. He is such a good natured little baby. He laughs and talks all the time. He is loving his jolly jumper now and exploring with his hands. It is really cool to watch Kayden talk to Chase and make him laugh. It makes me really excited that I get to be a part of this amazing experience of watching them grow up together.  
   I have been the person "in charge" of this class reunion so that was another small source of stress the last few weeks. And just because my husband was in the same class don't think that he was a huge help with anything! We are also having Chase's baptism on Sunday afternoon. Aunt Cookie (aka.. Aunt Kris) and Uncle Kirk are Chase's godparents. We are so excited that so many family members can come. We are looking forward to seeing everyone! It will be a fun weekend. Cole is also getting blessed up at their house in the league club on Saturday. I will be sure to post pictures... I know I keep saying that but maybe if I say it enough times I will force myself to learn how to do it! haha.... 
    On another note... Our friends Karla and Jimmy Wilson had a baby girl yesterday, Oct 2. Margaret Joshephine is a healthy beautiful baby and Karla's epidural worked!!!!! YEAH!!!! Big sister Katie is already calling baby Maggie sweety.. so cute! We are looking forward to seeing them all. It seems like Chase was just that size and it amazes me how fast they grow up and change. Baby Maggie shares a birthday with our good friend Jesse Payne. 
   I am also planning Kayden's birthday party. Can you believe he is almost 2!!! We are going to be having his party at the Hill Ridge Farm in Youngsville NC. There will be a train ride and then hay ride to our party spot. The kids get to pick their own pumpkin and then play in the play area. It should be a lot of fun. Hopefully the weather is nice!!! Oct. 19th. If anyone wants to come please feel free!!!! 
   Well... I will post something else when we return home.. Hopefully we all come back healthy with our voices and no torn body parts after the soccer game. I will keep you posted!
