Smith update

Hello Family.
It has been quite a while since we put in an update from the Smith household. So here you are.
Nick- is doing great. Has had several weekends of playing paint ball, its been really good weather for it. He had a chance to play speed ball for the first time. very different from woods ball but he liked it. He plays volly ball ever sunday evening with a group of friends and me and the girls had a chance to go and watch him play. Sasha was a great cheerleader for daddy and she loved playing in all that sand.
Shawn-thats me. I am still working part time but i think that this will be my last week. i have deffinetly hit the uncomfortable phase of the pregnancy. Baby Chloe tends to like to spend a lot of time up under my ribs lately. ouch. but it is almost over, only a few weeks left. i have not even started getting things ready for when Chloe arives. but i am not stressing. i have been in a one day at a time mind set lately.
Sasha- a few weeks ago she started preschool at Oakdale. It is a beautiful classroom and a wonderful program. So far she is doing great. she goes from 9am to 1130am every wednesday and friday. (friday is nicks day off so he gets to take her, and they both love that) Last week she had a field trip to the Fontenelle Forest, they had a display of life sized dinosaurs in amoung the trees. it was really wonderderful to see. I got to go as a parent sponsor and we had a lot of fun. but i think Sasha's favorite part of the whole field trip was getting to ride on a big yellow bus to and from. Next week she has her first real dentist appointment. very fun. She is the most wonderful big sister and takes great care of MacKenzie and is looking forward to when we bring Chloe home.
MacKenzie- this month she will turn one. Wow! She is standing independently for a few moments at a time and crusing along furniture. she says about 5 words. This past weekend she got really sick with a high fever, so we took her to the doctor and they found out that her white blood cell count was very high and that means that she has a sever bacterial infection. they gave her the highest dose of the strongest antibiotic shot and that was not enough to wipe it out so she had to have a seccond one. but today finally she is almost back to normal. they are growing cultures from her blood and urine and will hopefully know the cause of the bacterial infection. but i am just glad that she is almost better.
Chloe Nicole- i go in tomorrow for another check up but so far everything has been smooth sailing with her. Due date is still October 16th. People keep teasing us that she will have to have red hair to complete the set. Blond, brown, red. just like neopolitan ice cream. I am just happy that it is almost over because even my maturnity clothes are getting too tight around the tummy and the shirts are not quite long enough any more.

Well, Its a lot and mostly boring, but that is our life right now. We love you all. And from the looks of our family blog we are not the only ones that are over due for an update. hint hint hint. ha ha ha
Lots of Love Shawn
