I know how long it's been since I've posted an update, but we've been busy. Zach and Brad made the trek to NYC for routine scans. They were clear!!
Almost immediately after returning, we went to SLC for Brad's yearly check up at Primary Children's Center. Just a routine check up and Brad received his first three immunizations! Both boys howled like little monkeys! Clark was in the room at the time, but I think he was more traumatized than Brad. Clarky cried a bit longer. I knew they were over it when Brad immediately had to use the bathroom-we all had to go because Clark had to go too, of course. The fighting started almost the second the door shut behind us. I'll just say it ended with Clark threatening to give Brad more shots... Feisty little guy. He can hold his own.
After SLC, we made our annual trip to Montana. Both boys had a great time! Grandpa Matt spent a good chunk of his time giving the little men four wheeler rides, which, of course, they absolutely loved. We went to the huge car show in downtown Polson, went swimming, sat around the fire pit, and visited tons of family and friends.
All in all, I don't ever see how we could have had a better summer. We've floated the river here in Boise, went camping up by New Meadows, and even once in the back yard! It's amazing how a fire pit can enhance your backyard camping experience!
Brad is in kindergarden. He loves his teacher and has already had to sit inside during a recess. I think he learned to pick his snack up when the teacher says snack time is over...
Over all, everyone is doing very well. Brad now has a head full of Nepoleon Dynamite curls. Seriously. His hair is crazy! We are constantly laughing at the two boys and the stuff they say. Brad's teacher expressed surprise about his ability to use complicated words in context and how discriptive he is when explaining. After everything he's been through, it certainly is good to hear.
I'll try to update more often. Things have calmed down a bit since school started. Thank you for checking in on us and we'll keep you posted!
