Kid Updates

The end of October is upon us!  Ghouls and goblins are getting ready to fill the neighborhood and our leaves are just starting to change here in the capitol area of North Carolina.  The backyard is full of pine needles and the trees are turning yellow and red and orange.  It's still not the same as Cortland, but since Cortland has snow right now and we do not, I am fine with this version of autumn.

Grant is happy go lucky as always.  He's quick with a smile and a twinkle in the eye.  He has quickly learned what a camera is and immediately knows what to do when it is pointed at him. 

Sam had a tough day on Thursday.  What started out as cramps turned into abdominal pain and possible appendicitis requiring a trip to Urgent Care and then the ER.  Five hours and one ultrasound later the doctors ruled out a burst appendix and leaned heavily towards an ovarian cyst which is painful but otherwise benign in nature.  Of course the look on her face tells a completely different story.  She is better and off to compete in her last Crew Regatta of the season. 



TJ is ready for Halloween.  Inspired by "How to Tame Your Dragon" TJ is a version of Hiccup, sporting a shield, axe, Viking helmet and a bath mat turned into a animal skin vest. Creativity hit us at the last minute and thanks to some crafty work and visit to the Dollar Store we had success!
