Dear Prayer Buddy,
Welcome to my site. Thank you very much for your prayers this Advent season. As you can tell, my life is crazy! I don't post as often as I would like to. Hopefully, that will change with people reading my blog. This year has gone by really fast with our son turning 1 year old, TOMORROW!!!!! I hope to have photos of his birthday party and Thanksgiving up this week.
Please pray for one of my FC couples. She called to cancel her follow up appointment. We all come to CrMS for a reason.
Thanks for your prayers and I'll be praying for you too!
God Bless and Happy Advent!
Mrs. B

Birthday Party #1
This weekend we traveled to St Louis for Thanksgiving. Augustine did great on the ride both ways. He is getting to be a little traveler. His new Brit.ax seat is awesome and I know he is safe. He still does not like to be strapped down. But I know that is the safest way to travel for little ones.
We shared Turkey Day at Grandpa Steffen's nursing home. The staff made a wonderful meal and the whole family was able to enjoy. I brought pies from the Culinary Arts students. Then we visited the Hagy's at their place. They are still in separate rooms and will be moving Grandma sometime this week to Grandpa's room. My dad did smoke a few turkey breast. And on Friday, we did a small traditional meal complete with White.Castle stuffing. (oh so yummy!)
Augustine took a 2 1/2 hour nap on Friday afternoon. When he woke up he was a walker. I'll be posting a video soon.
Saturday, we took his photos at my sister's condo and some great family shots. Em is editing them and I'll be able to make up our Christmas card after Augustine's Omaha party this upcoming weekend.
Saturday night was Augustine's St Louis party. We had a great time and I do plan on posting photos sometime this week. In the mean time, you'll have to settle for Erin's blog. He wasn't a fan of his cake. I don't think he knew what to do with it. But he'll get another shot at it on Sunday in Omaha.
On to a busy week. Have a great Cyber Monday!

Where have you been?
Okay, I think people have stopped reading my blog. But I've had a few comments lately. I guess that is because I'm commenting on other blogs. I guess you deserve an update. Only fair, right?
Bottom line... Where have you been Mrs. B? BUSY!
September - well that was a long time ago. Augustine had sinus infection #3. We went to St. Louis for my 10 year high school reunion. My parents came for a visit. That's all I remember. Andy's birthday, 31 years old.
October - My favorite month of them all because it was my birthday. It was the first time I celebrated my 29th birthday. My Aunt Trish always counts from that day.
We visited the Pumpkin Barn with Grandpa and Nana Berthold.
Oma came for a visit to travel with Augustine and I to Des Monies for a conference.
My Grandma Hagy (Betty) was found (alive) on her kitchen floor October 26. It was originally believed to be a stroke. However, doctors now believe it was a seizure. We can't be sure because no one was there to witness it. She has been in the hospital, rehab and now a nursing home. The same nursing home Grandpa Hagy (Clyde) is in. They are not in the same room. Hopefully soon.
My parents and sister were planning to visit for the NU v. Mizzou football game. But plans changes once Grandma was put into the hospital.
The same weekend of the game, Augustine got croup on October 29. He had a fever and was put on steroids. It was a bad weekend. We ended up selling the tickets last minute to my brother-in-law and father-in-law. I was so glad the tickets got used.
I helped organized a PINK OUT game in support of the American Cancer Society at school. We raised over $2100 for the event. Not bad.
Started my education as a Fertility Care Practitioner with Creighton Model System. It was a week long class in Omaha. Now this year I'm an intern with the Fertility Care Center of Omaha at the Pope Paul VI Institute. I started taking clients in November.
November - Augustine and I traveled to STL for the NODAC Conference - National Orientation Directer Association. Augustine hung out with Oma, Papa Bruce, and Aunt Em while mommy worked. It was a great conference and I learned a lot. I was able to see all my grandparents on this trip for a short time. It's hard working, being a mommy, and living in STL. I can't do everything I once did in that short of time.
Augustine got 4th sinus infection! It was a result of the croup and his sinus not draining. Ears are still good. :)
Stomach flu rans through out house - Augustine, Daddy and then Mommy.
As you can see life is really busy around our house. Right now we're gearing up to travel to STL for Thanksgiving. Augustine will have 2 birthday parties: STL and Omaha. First one is Saturday at Oma and Papa's. It should be a great time. Then the following weekend, we'll have another edition in Omaha. My goal is to get the house decorated for Christmas before guest arrive. The tree is up in our front room. Yes, I admit it. I have my tree up before Thanksgiving. I had to people. It isn't decorated and I don't keep the lights on. But it's up. Now only if we can get it decorated and the house lights up before it snows.
Can you believe my little guy will be 1 in a week!?!?!?!?! Where did this year go?
