Well, first let me start by apologizing for the gap in time from my last post. I have been keeping up with people on Face*book and have found little time to blog. The McLarens have been up to a lot in the last four months. I turned 35 in July. I thought that would be hard, but I have truly embraced my age and love being 35 would not change it for the world. Andy and I celebrated 6 years of wedded bliss. I am always amazed at God’s gift to me of Andy. He is truly the most wonderful man I have ever met and defiantly my better half. Kaylee started kindergarten in August. This was harder for me than her; she even told me “I could leave now she was fine.” She loves school and is doing great, adores her teacher and has many new friends. Kaylee turned five at the end of August and we had a fun swim party with nothing but sugar. She asked for an ice cream and cake party and we provided. Andy joined me in the 35 club in September and I surprised him with a Cardinals football game. Of course when we go they lose but that was okay since Andy is a big 49ers fan. We laughed at my parent’s bday gift to him as they purchased a new toilet for the master bathroom. Colton turned six months the 7th of October. It is unbelievable to think he has been with us for half a year time has flown by so very fast. He has added so much joy and happiness to our family I can’t imagine the McLarens without him. Kaylee and Colton love each other tons as he is the first thing see goes to hug when she gets up in the morning and he is sooooo happy to see her. Kaylee has an incredible knack to make him laugh.
Wow! That is a lot. But it has been 4 months.
One more major accomplishment Colton saw Dr. Segal last week and is now brace free all day. He only has to wear the brace at night when he sleeps. He now sees Dr. Segal ever six months for the next 2 to 4 years. He always seems to be eating. I have to say I can’t believe how much he eats; I think it is a glimpse into our future when he eats us out of house and home.
So now for the pictures ENJOY!
I am going to try really hard to post at least once a month. I will repost on Sunday or Monday with Halloween pictures has the Russells and the McLarens will be sending the night together. A fun filled night of Trunk or Treat and Pizza at Grandpa and Grandmas house. I am even making the pizza so David and I can enjoy gluten free pizza.
Love you all so much,
Stepanie
