Audrey has adjusted to kindergarten. Nathan has adjusted to his sister not being here. He really does miss playing with her. But has decided that helping mommy around the house is just as rewarding
He also loves lying around watching cartoons. He gets the TV all to himself now.
On Sept. 19th I took the kids to the apple orchard to pick apples and get goodies. I wanted to pick 1/2 a bushel of apples to make apple sauce. However, filling up 1/2 a bushel goes really fast so I ended up with a full bushel. That’s a lot of apples. I made some applesauce and am putting the rest into some yummy desserts. Maybe I’ll post a recipe. Nate fell asleep for the apple picking. I guess it wasn’t interesting for him. However, the kids really enjoyed the doughnut part. Well, so do I. I took lots of pictures of that. Some may look weird since I’m holding Nate while I take the pictures. Audrey was being silly with her doughnuts. I usually don’t condone playing with your food, but I allowed it this one time.
The night ended with a beautiful sunset.
The Next weekend was our big trip to Indianapolis for the Medical Conference. Everything turned out well. It was a 5 1/2 hour trip and Nate did great on the way down. Saturday was spent at the hospital to see the doctors. We saw three: Dr. Turner (neurosurgery), Dr. Mackenzie (orthopedic surgery) and Dr. Kerbavaz (ENT). Although I didn’t have any serious concerns, I wanted to make sure that everything was good and our doctors in town we on top of things. We got glowing reports on how well Nate is doing. A blessing in my eyes! I did get some pictures. I took some with my phone which I can’t get off. So nothing from the conference. The two pictures below were from Friday night at the restaurant for dinner. It’s amazing the things he does.
Sunday we packed up to come home. After about an hour of driving, Nate got carsick, tossed his cookies (literally) and I was at a rest stop with my car torn apart. I must off looked silly with latex gloves and baby wipes cleaning up puke. Thank goodness once back on the road, Nate fell asleep and it was a nice quiet travel back.
