Three of my friends from grad school were in this past weekend. Audrey, from Nebraska who drove 9 hours, and Lyndsay and Aliece from St Louis. The girls stayed with Katie, and I got to spend the weekend with them going out to eat, making pottery, eating sushi, having drinks, watching a movie, and staying up way too late. It was so much fun being around these four girls who I spent so many hours with at school. They truly are friends I know I will have for a lifetime.
Thank you to Jeremy for watching Hudson and letting me spend my whole weekend away. You are the best daddy and husband a girl could ask for. I am truly blessed!!

Hudson's 15 month checkup
Hudson had shots and his 15 month checkup on November 2nd. He got 3 shots plus a flu shot. He HATED them. The older he gets the worse they are for him. He cried so hard and it took him awhile to calm down. Sad for both Mommy and Mimi who were there with him. He didn't have any reaction to the shots besides red, swollen spots on his legs....poor guy!
He measured in at 27 lbs and 30 inches long placing his weight in the 80th percentile and height in the 50%.
Updates: He has been drinking milk before bed instead of formula. We no longer have that expense which is nice. He is now in size 5 diapers and wears 18-24 month clothes. He has 12 teeth now. His last molar finally broke through the surface (PTL!!) He is sleeping from 830 or 900 until 600 most days.
Some of his favorite things still include being outside, reading books, going on wagon rides, snuggling with mommy and daddy (which we love), wearing adult size shoes, eating, and climbing stairs.
He is growing and changing all the time. He is so much fun and keeps us on our toes. Two things he has done lately is take the broom from Mimi and try to knock off the magnets/pictures on the fridge because he wants to see them, and moved out the kitchen chair so he could climb up on it and see Gavin who was in his carseat on the table. We think our little guy is so smart! It is fun watching him learn new things daily and begin to talk more with each day.
He is beginning to repeat many more words that we say, combining two words on occasion, and trying to sing/hum songs that we sign or that are on in the car.
God truly gave us the best gift of all.....a precious Hudson. We love you with all our hearts.

Updates
Hudson went to two home MSU football games this year and LOVED them. He was dancing with the band/music, and wanted to stay up the whole game.
We took him to Silver Dollar City. He tried his first funnel cake, went to the Saloon show, and rode 2 rides.
He has gone to many volleyball games (Kickapoo and mommy's games). He seems to really enjoy watching the quick action.
He is talking up a storm even when you can't understand it. He is using more words daily and receptively knows so much more.
My mom now has both boys at my house since Jessie went back to work yesterday after being off 12 weeks with Gavin.
Hudson is cutting his last molar (tooth 12) right now. He seems to be feeling a little better since the edge has come through a bit.
He is in a stage where he likes to cuddle, kiss, and hug. Mommy and Daddy are LOVING every minute of it.
We are enjoying this time with Hudson so much. God is Good and has blessed us tremendously.
We are looking forward to many things in November....basketball games, visit from grad school friends, Thanksgiving, and spending time with family.

Hudson update
Hud is now 13 months and is just such a big boy. He walks and/or runs everywhere. Loves to eat and drink. He LOVES fruit, some vegetables, and mashed potatoes....those are just a few. He got so many fun and entertaining toys for his birthday that he plays with all the time. He can sit through 4-6 short books depending on the day. I think he would rather be read to than anything else (besides being outside). He loves wagon or stroller rides. He has cut 2 more teeth so we are up to 10 total now. He is finally sleeping regularly through the night. He has slept from 9pm until at least 730am every morning this week which makes it so nice for Mommy and Daddy when we have to head to work. Weekends always seem to be the days he would rather get up at 6am. haha! He loves to give kisses to Addie(all the time) and anyone else that asks for one. He is our pride and joy and we just love that sweet boy to death. All of us at the Elliott home are excited for Fall......cooler temps, pumpkins, Halloween, and FOOTBALL. Are you ready for some football??

Back to School
Well I have officially been back to work since August 18th but the kids first day back was August 25th. I started seeing students yesterday for therapy.....so far so good. My caseload is at 47 right now at one school. I am hoping it stays that way. I am glad to be back into a routine with work and school but sure do miss my boy.

Introducing my nephew....
GAVIN JAMES PENROSE
He was born at 4:58pm at St Johns Hospital weighing 6 lbs 10 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. He was born 3 weeks early but is doing fine. Mommy and Daddy are now at home doing well and loving every moment with their sweet son. I had the privilege of being in the delivery room with them as he was born. It is an experience I will never forget!!! Hudson and Gavin will have birthdays just 1 day apart.
Here is the first family photo after G was born.
