A Long Time Coming

Goodness!

This post is a long time coming. I didn't realize it had been since May - May - that I posted. There has been so much going on! I will just get to the point.

First Day of School

So the first day of school happened in August. It was great.  Jack is in 3rd grade and now rides the bus to school. Our neighborhood only has "one" school, but it is so big it was split into a Primary and Intermediate building.  Because the Intermediate school is on the other side of the main road, there is a bus that will take him from the Primary school and bring him back. It's been great so far.

Logan is in 1st grade and is adjusting to being at school all day (9-4) which has been tough for him. But he's a trooper and will persevere. He is still in vision therapy, but we are in the home stretch for this round! Hopefully only 10 more weeks.

Spencer and I are working on letters, matching, and other Preschool activities but he is at home doing it. Maybe he will go to pre-kindergarten next year at the school.  

Duncan is in speech therapy and he is making some progress. His therapist is great, and she comes to our house which saves me a therapy trip. He isn't quite to 100 words yet but we are learning to understand some of what he is trying to say.

Logan's Birthday

Right after school started it was Logan's birthday. He turned six! We had a fun party with family and it was great to see everyone. Logan still loves babies, rocks, and sea creatures. He wants to be a Dad, a construction worker, and a diver. Big dreams!

Logan found a cherry picker at Vision Therapy - Fun!

First birthday of the school year in his class.

Logan and Antie mining for gems - he loved this present!

Eclipse!

We had planned a trip to Idaho Falls to see the eclipse as soon as we heard about it (and before the kids went to the local school) so we kept our plans, pulled them out of school, and headed up to Idaho for the big event. It. Was. Awesome. If you ever have a chance to see one you need to do it. You just need to. Trust me!  The temperature dropped 20 degrees, it was dark, and everyone was cheering and looking at the sun.

That weekend we also took the boys to Mass at Christ the King where Scott and I met...11 years ago I think?!? The kids thought that was really neat, and another eclipse traveler took our picture for me so I could be in it too.

Where it all began
We had fun there with Uncle Tom and Aunt Jetta. We took the kids to Arctic Circle for some really yummy ice cream and a playland. Something these kids don't see very often.


Now that things are settling down here with school routines being figured out, as well as work routines I am hoping to try to keep up with this better. Duncan't birthday is coming up so maybe new pictures after this weekend.

Hope you are all doing well too.

Until next time.

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

Changes to Flickr

UPDATE: There is just a link and no preview photos because of the privacy settings I have on Flickr now. ALSO, if you sign up for email updates you'll get a copy of each new post in your email so you won't have to come looking and be disappointed. I tried it so I know it works. It does take you to an external site for confirmation so don't be surprised by that. Hi. I am trying new privacy settings on flickr so if you cannot access the photos shoot me an email and I'll try to fix it. Thanks. Dena

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...
