What have we been up to?! Baseball! Happy Birthday! & Happy half-Birthday!

A QUICK UPDATE:

Two weekends ago, Tracen discovered the joys of playing catch with a glove.  Uncle Chad and he played all afternoon together and he loved it!  We should probably get him a glove that fits a little better, don't you think?

We moved two weeks ago to a new place.  We really like it, but are still a bit cluttered.  It has been a hard move just for the fact that we are so busy with school and work.  Chris has been studying hard for the past few weeks for his never-ending series of tests while hitting up his preceptorship with Dr. Carusso, an endocrinologist.  I have been overloaded with papers to grade, lessons to prepare and babies to keep happy.

Friday, Oct 3rd, Chris celebrated his 27th birthday!  OLD!!! I know =o)  Of course, he had to study, so I crashed the study party with pizza, soda and cake for all.  It was fun!  I was just sad that we didn't get to have a big party.  

SO HERE'S TO YOU STUD MUFFIN
