What a Crazy Month!


OK so I am relived to have September over with...don't get me wrong it was an amazing month! But it just seemed like it was so busy but I guess that is probably how life will be now with our lil guy, I'm sure that I will get use to it. The week of conference was absolutely crazy...We had Grandpa Pace's viewing and funeral Sunday and Monday, then Marcus came back for his classes and I went up and was able to stay at Shay's since my parents were up in Salt Lake celebrating their 30 year anniversary! Congrats Mom and Dad, Love you both so much! Then on Tuesday night Marcus drove to Cedar Hills so that we could drive up to Primary Childrens hospital the next morning to meet with the craniofacial plastic surgeon for Braxtyn's consult about his cleft palate. He gave us some very good news that Braxtyn is just missing a little part of his soft palate and it can be fixed with a quick 1-2 hour surgery and he will hopefully only have to stay one night after they do the surgery if everything goes well, but they can't do it until he is 9 months old so we will have to be patient. I think the missing palate has affected his sucking ability a little bit and I want to thanks everyone who has helped and been patient with me while trying to figure out how to help him gain weight...hopefully he will just start gaining really well!
Marcus flew out to his interview at ATSU in Arizona on Thursday from Salt Lake and came home Friday and we headed down to his parents to watch conference...We got news the following Monday that he was accepted to the PA program at Quinnipiac in Connecticut! so it is nice to know that we will be going somewhere for sure for Grad school! Pretty Exciting! WAY TO GO MARCUS! lOVE YOU!
Tammy and Seth came and visited this last weekend and we had a blast! Thanks for hanging out with us! Love you guys!
I start work tomorrow so this week should be interesting! I know marcus will do awesome with Brax while I'm gone and I'm so excited for them to form a different kind of bond even though Marcus already loves him so much. He always calls him his little Buddy and I just love it!
Loves to sleep with his hands by his face:)
Such a handsome little Man!
I love him in orange! we got him all bundled up for a walk!
My boys, in between conference sessions! So Tired!

He is so cute. I think he looks like he has gotten bigger since I saw him last. Can't wait to see him again. Love the pic of Marcus and him asleep together. Too funny. Congratulations Marcus on getting accepted. Hopefully though you get into one a little closer. If not it will also be a great experience for both of you.
