To update on our last post...
Katelynn and Dylan both had a great start to the school year. Katelynn has a great teacher and is enjoying school, except for the early mornings. She has a small class and is one of 6 girls in the class. Katelynn is still really missing her best friend, Lauren, who moved this past summer. So, please keep her in your thoughts as she works on developing new friendships. We have made progress on the pneumonia front as well. Katelynn has been seeing a pediatric pulmonary specialist who diagnosed her with allergies (thankfully not to dogs) and asthma. She takes 2 daily meds and one as needed and she is great about taking them without help from us! We are proud of her (she is the one who usually balks at medicine).
Dylan is wonderful! He played soccer in the fall and did great. We of course enjoyed going to his games. It was interesting watching kindergartner's play soccer! He is getting along well in school - Mrs. Ruda is always filling me in on Dylan stories. He is definitely putting his best foot forward at school! We are, of course, proud of him!
Ken is working hard on his dissertation (he has his first three chapters in pretty good shape). He is hoping to have his prospectus hearing in Jan./Feb. The end is in sight. Speaking of ends...it is the end of the semester!!!! Hooray! Ken survived this year which was very busy for him. We are looking forward to Christmas and a chance to relax.
Speaking of Christmas...we are leaving cold OH for Christmas in warm AZ to spend it with Kevin, Tawnya, Lena, Suzi, Jim and Ruby. We will miss all of our family in PA but are excited for some sunshine. Keep us in mind on Dec. 31/Jan 1 as we will be flying home on the "red eye".
Here are a few pics from our fall:
