It is so scary being a parent sometimes. About 8 hours after his flu shot this year Martin developed a small rash. By morning, he was covered! We are now in the process of determining what he may be allergic to. Thank God it was not serious. As you can see, he didn't seem to mind it as much as Eric and I.

Although we suffered a loss to OSU, we enjoyed visiting MSU and seeing our friends. It is wonderful to see everyone's family growing (Martin was napping and so was absent from the group picture).

We recently got back from MI where we had a wonderful visit with family and friends. We were blessed to see Eric's Grandma (88 years old if you can believe it!). Nichole, mt sister-in-law also celebrated her 30th birthday and recently moved into her first condo!

We visited a pumpkin patch with Grandma and my in-laws, which also included a petting zoo and large play area. Martin enjoyed the ground tire mulch more then anything!

My sister and her family stayed for the weekend after attending the baptism. We were blessed to have lots of time to spend with them, and Martin was able to play with his cousins, aunt, and uncle.

Grace was baptised at St. Olivers on Sept 27th. Her godmother, Julia, could not be here due to her own pregnancy, so my mom stood in. It was wonderful to have my family here (my parents, in-laws, sister and her family, Tim and Lauren, and Joey with his fiancee Crystal).

My dad is Grace's godfather. He was able to make the trip from St. Louis down to GA to be here for the baptism.

Sue was in for a week to help me. Jon came in for the weekend of the baptism. It was so wonderful to have my in-laws here to help. Martin loves seeing them!
