The Brittons

Gracie Gracie Riding her trike by herself I guess we need to strap him in now. Owen in his swing We have had a very busy couple of weeks. Nick has had the last two weekends off from ISU football, which has been nice. We took Gracie and Owen out to the Orchard again last week, which was fun. Over the weekend, we went to see Nick's mom. Gracie rode horses with Nick and his mom, which she loved. Both kids had Dr. appointments on Tuesday 10/26. Gracie is off the charts with her height. She is 37 inches tall and 33 1/2 lbs. Owen weighed 13 lbs 9 oz and is 23 3/4 inches long. They both did not like having immunizations. Gracie got a flower bandaid, though, and is now obsessed with bandaids. Owen was fussy almost all day yesterday, but settled down and slept after I gave him some ibuprofen last night. After their appointments, Nick took them out for lunch at Hickory Park. That was so nice of him. Owen has started sleeping through the night! I am so excited about that. The first night wa...

Owen on his activity mat Reading to them in Gracie's toddler bed They look like they're both paying attention!! Going down the slide at Center Grove Orchard Feeding the goats at the orchard I can't believe how fast the time has gone. I started back to work again yesterday and Owen started daycare. The first day went really well. They said that he slept and ate well, and was pretty content for most of the day. They also said that he would fall asleep anywhere that they put him. However, he was a bit fussy for a couple hours last night. My day also went well, but was pretty uneventful. It is good to be back at work. We played softball over the weekend on both Saturday and Sunday. We lost on Sunday, but it was fun to be playing again. Gracie and Owen stayed with babysitters both days for a couple hours. Nick worked on Saturday at the football game and I watched it on TV for awhile. It was pretty hard to watch though. ISU did not do very well against Utah. On Friday I met o...

Gracie holding Owen Wearing his ISU gear proudly Gracie eating some lunch She found her way into the dryer Gracie playing with Owen Well, starting where we left off, Nick had his weekend in Kansas City. I got to go see my friends in Cedar Falls and also got to look around at the mall up there. Owen didn't sleep the best while Nick was gone, but we survived. Gracie had a great time with her Gramma and the rest of the clan down there. Nick came home on Saturday night and I think he actually beat me home from the Merrills'. Last weekend was another home football game which Nick had to work at. He came home early, though because he wasn't feeling very well. And by early, I mean 10:30pm. He wasn't even able to play softball the next day. While Nick was at work Gracie, Owen, and I got to hang out all day. It was raining, so we had to stay inside for most of the day. Luckily in the evening it started to clear up so I could take them for a walk. This past week...
