I have been sleeping a lot this weekend trying to get rid of this cold, so I will post pictures later. The kids got over their 3rd cold of the season and Pete is still strying to get over his a week later. I started feeling sick mid-week and still have a lot of congestion in my chest, unfortunately, I am limited to what I can take due to thyroid issues (can cause my heart to race).
Thursday we went to the pediatrician's office for Kiersten's 18mth old visit. She decided that she would have a bowel movement in the lobby. Our appt wasn't until 4:40 pm so you think she'd have plenty of time at home, but nope. OSHA requires soiled diapers to be taken with you, luckily I had a ziploc back I could use to help eliminate the smell. As far as her stats, she's just above 50% with her height(31.5inches) and her head measurements (18inches) and in the 10-12% in her weight(22lbs). She's long and skinny I suppose....she's eats a lot, but she's in a very active stage of life trying to keep up with the big kids. The doc says she's doing great and she got her 3 shots and we were outta there. Peter & Kiersten never got sick from any of the shots they have had and I have always just given them tylenol before the shots anyway as a precaution.
Friday afternoon, our 2 large ash trees (65-70ft) finally came down. Our yard looks totally barren, but they had to go. The Emerald Ash Beetle has done a doozy on them and they were dead (literally) weight and dangerous especially with high winds and with upcoming heavy snow could cause a lot of damage to the house and wires (we need our electricity during the winter!). We spent some time Sat afternoon cleaning up the yard.
We went and picked out the kids costumes, trick or treat buckets and pumpkins on Saturday. I have to make some adjustments, but I will post pictures after Halloween so its a surprise! We didn't celebrate Sweetest Day, its not one of the Hallmark holidays we celebrate anyway. I enjoy Pete taking diaper duty when he's home, that's a huge joy in my life ( :
We have been watching another weekend of sports and its been a pretty good weekend. Even though the Tigers lost game 1, they're doing well tonight. The Tigers were due for a loss and it wouldn't be a World Series if the Tigers swept though it would have been nice.
We're still praying for little Cammie, I should have some updates tomorrow.

Hope you are feeling better soon!
Sorry to hear about your trees. We have some rather large ones that need to come down soon. Josh spent the summer planting new trees like crazy so it won't look so bare.
We don't have the large yard like you guys do so we couldn't plant until these trees came down! We're thinking of ideas for the spring!
