Tales of September

We've been (among other things)...


Replacing our stolen items and getting forms notarized so can hopefully get this insurance claim in soon (today). I will be sooooo glad when that is done.
Good news: they caught the man who robbed us! They have an arrest warrant out for the
woman. The Salt Lake police picked him up for breaking the law up there and our officer drove up to question him (since he fit the description of the guy using our credit cards in the Walmart videos). When he got there the man fell to pieces and confessed. The court case *should* be pretty clear cut - we'll see what comes of his escapades.
Sad news: he chucked most of our belongings (minus a few cards and the electronics) into the dumpster in our parking lot.... and no one thought to look there before the trash was taken that day :( Ohhhh well. Live and learn. The location of the rest is yet to (ever) be determined.
(Hopefully our insurance claim doesnt go as this picture depicts...)


Various family outings such as... riding the new train at the mall! (to our surprise, he cried uncontrollably when he had to get off - what is it with little boys and trains?) It is actually pretty nifty - it takes you on a lap of the entire mall (see the wheels). Mason still talks about the "train... ride... mall".





My million dollar mouth: after Mason was born I had a tiny cavity... after Lincoln was born, I had a mouthful of work to be done! In all actuality, it is old work from my teen years that is coming back to haunt me. Needless to say, I will be so glad when it is all done (two crowns later). Big THANK YOU to my brother in law Chad for doing a fabulous root canal on me! :)
Also of note: heredity has struck, the fight is over, Matt is officially on a low-dose medication for his cholesterol. Feel free to tease him :)





A visit from Papa and Grandma -- Grandma had a quick trip to make so Papa stayed with us for a few days!



Cutting out EVEN more foods. Lincoln appears to be sensitive to... everything? I will now be living on rice and water. Not crackers, bc those might have butter on them. haha :) OK, maybe that is a slight exaggeration. I am hopeful he will grow out of at least some of it by 3-4 months. Time will tell! At present I am avoiding all dairy, soy, chocolate, nuts, onions, and tomatoes. I am positive dairy is a problem and about 80% sure soy is (need to try some soy formula to find out for sure), and the others are maybes. For now it is just easier to avoid than suffer the consequences! On a positive note, he looks so healthy and I was able to take him off Prevacid down to just Zantac and am thinking I might even be able to take him off that soon. Hooray for good health! On another bright note, I think helping me lose weight. Win-win! :)


Attending our first pinewood derby! Mason ADORES the scouts and LOVES going to all the activities. It is a lot of fun for all!



I cant believe it is October already!!

Well, my husband Dave could work on your case! He works for the prosecutor's office writing motions and doing research for the lawyers. And hopefully next year he'll be one of the real lawyers working there too!

Fun to get your update. That's really too bad about your stuff, but I'm glad you're able to get things taken care of.
Glad things are going well for you guys!

Oh, and both Spencer and I say good for Matt! We're glad he's taking care of himself. Spencer says he sees a lot of patients who just don't take care of themselves. So again, good for Matt! :)

I have had some of the same problems with things that I eat that give Carter gas, seems like everything gives him gas and I feel like I only have water. What is there to eat that doesn't bug a newborn!? I didn't know there was a train at the mall now, I can't wait to go and take Audrey! Love reading what you have been up to.
