We had Oli's birthday party at the local pumpkin patch and it was a big hit with the kids. It was cold but sunny, and I think Halle was pretty happy with her pumpkin choice. She took it very seriously :)

Isn't this the sweetest most sassy face you've ever seen?.... This has been a hard week with Halle.  We are potty training and she has been SOOOOO bratty!  Thank you to all who have kept me encouraged!  Otherwise we are all doing great.  We've had a really fun fast summer and are looking forward to slowing down this fall.  I will try to be better about getting a picture on more often.

We went to Hudsons hamburgers for Halles 3rd birthday in July... I can't believe shes three already!

Halle has been getting so good at using the potty lately that we decided to invite her over for a potty party so she could show Jack what's what when it comes to proper potty usage. It was a beautiful day, so we decided to take the festivities outside, and I think everyone had fun.

Halle is having so much fun playing outside now that it is mostly nice out.  She certainly is not afraid to get dirty!

 Please pray for her this week.  We go in for another airway reconstructive surgery.  We went to Seattle 2 weeks ago to have another scope done... her airway looked better than it did last November, but not good enough to go without her trach.  It is definitely harder now that she is so aware of whats going on.  She knows where we are as soon as we get there.  I will keep you posted as to how it goes!
