Rainy Thursday

Well what a yucky day it has been here. Just dreary and somewhat rainy all day long. When the weather is like this it really seems to affect the mood of my kids. It is almost 3:30 and Brennan and I are playing together and watching Dr. Phil. Carter went with Adam to pick up Maddie from school and take her to an appointment at 3:30. Then she will go to the YMCA until soccer practice starts at 5. She is such a busy girl! Tomorrow night she is staying at a friend's house for a birthday party and won't be home until late Saturday afternoon. Kinnick is upstairs napping, his second nap of the day. We are pretty excited because we got him to say da da last night. That was so AWESOME to hear. His teacher was here yesterday afternoon and worked with him here at the house for an hour. He really likes her. She brought a bunch of instruments with her for him to play with and he did a great job imitating her. So that was great! I was so proud of him. I guess that since we have started working with him I feel really good when he does what we want him to do. Every little step counts! There's not much else new with us. I cannot believe that Halloween is next week already. I am curious to see what Carter will think about trick or treating. He is terrified of the Halloween section at K-Mart, so it should be interesting when we see kids in their costumes! Well, I should get my towels folded that are in the dryer before Kinnick wakes up because he likes to unfold them as fast as I can get them folded! Love, Steph
