Here we come Wisconsin!

On Christmas Eve, Scenic Bluffs Health Center located in Cashton, Wisconsin (a little town just outside of LaCrosse) offered David a dental position. We gladly accepted an 18 month contract, and it will most likely stretch into a little more time than that. Now it's time to look for housing! We are excited and it's nice to know where we'll be in 6 months. Crazy!

Thanksgiving 2008

We spent our Thanksgiving holiday in Des Moines with Nani and Papa. We got to see our good friends the Fluhmans too. It was a lot of fun, and my only regret is that I probably ate 1/2 of a pecan pie all by myself. Time to get on the treadmill.

This past week........

lots of doctor and lots of banana bread!

Our Big Boy

Spencer had his 9 month check up today. His stats are........

Head: 100%

Height: 100%

Weight: 75%

Eyes: 100% BLUE!

Who knew.........

that an exersaucer would be so much fun, even for a 3 year old?

Halloween 2008

Monkey Business

Grandma Jesse gave Clayton and Spencer matching monkey pajamas. Clayton thought it was so great, he wanted us to take his picture and he was even willing to smile!

Boys in Stripes

Clayton's First Football Game

Checking it all out.

Sea of black and gold

Is there any question where I got my sense of humor?


My parents came down from Minnesota last weekend. Clayton experienced his first real football game. He loved it and made it through the whole first half...with the help of a giant pretzel and a hotdog. Every little boy's dream.

Part II dental board exams

He did great and we are so proud of him!

I LOVE POOP

Especially when it's in the toilet! After 3 long months of pooping issues, Clayton finally did it...and has continuted to do it daily for the past 4 days. He is so proud, we are so proud, and really I do love poop when it's not in a diaper, pull-up, or underwear :)

Wilson's Apple Orchard

Picking your own apples from the tree, a tractor ride, choosing pumpkins for Halloween and hot apple turnovers......what could be better?

Boards

We spent last weekend in Des Moines at Nani and Papa's house so that David could take boards. A trip to the zoo, Racoon River park, Papa's birthday, seeing old friends, and eating lots of good food were a few of the fun things we did. The boys had a great time and David and I are happy that boards are done!
