October

October was another busy month but routines started to settle into place so that was helpful. Grady worked and saved all summer to buy his own brand-new, fancy scooter. He’s very pleased with it and has been riding it daily on our dog walks. Hunter was gifted some change from Papa Dave and bought new wheels for his (hand me down) scooter. Uncle Bill gave him some bright green grips for his birthday so he also has a “new” scooter. 

We took a trip to the pumpkin patch with friends, played hooky from school to eat donuts, visited with Bryce, dressed up as super heros for Halloween, and Grady played a ton of hockey. Hunter practiced chopping kindling and Grady had the most awkward school photo taken!

At the end of the month, Grady had his braces put on. It will be a 26 month process to hopefully correct his over bite and help re-align his jaw. His mouth was a bit sore at first but he hardly complained and has since found a way to eat everything again - even his Halloween treats!
