New Picture

Here is an up to date photo/ultrasound image of the new NM Hollebeek baby. Any guesses as to gender?

Weekend Fun



We enjoyed a fun but busy weekend. We celebrated at a first birthday party of a friend's daughter and squeezed in a trip to the doctor. Ryland's double ear infection wasn't responding to the antibiotics and Leighton and Paxton got their flu shots. Fun for everyone!

more pics of the boys

Hey all,
I'd been receiving request from people to update our old website so I decided to set up a little blog for the boys. It's way easier to update than a webpage. Of course I will still be posting here but now I can provide our blog (http://brechtings.blogspot.com/) to non-family and non-Hollebeeks to keep up with the boys. Some of those pics are duplicates for you all but I hope to do a better job of sending out pics.

Update

I realized that I have not posted in some time. Things are going well in NM. Aidan still loves school and Teddy still loves playschool. Aidan is taking piano lessons and seems to be enjoying it. "Twinkle, twinkle little star" and "Charley Brown and Snoopy" flood our rooms with periodically throughout the week. Stacey is feeling a good deal better than the first trimester and is vigorously continued her Writing Lab work and student teacher observations for WNMU.
Chief Manuelito continues to be a challenge for me as a beginning school counselor, but I am learning a great deal.
Fall has finally hit NM this week as the lows have hit the teens and the highs right now are in the 40s and 50s. This is a far cry from last week's highs in the high 60s and low 70s but the seasons change. Fortunately, we have almost finished our wood collection for the winter and have already cleaned out the chimney pipe.
That's it for now.

Happy Halloween









A great time was had by all! We enjoyed a fall festival at our church the week before Halloween. Then our small group from church came over for Halloween for chili and trick-or-treating. The boys did great and seemed to really enjoy touching all the candy.
