My, My, My How time flies.....

I feel like it has been 100 years since I last posted.  Life gets so, so busy.  School takes up so much time and now I just went back to work so that is one to two night shifts per week.  Then I have to try and find the time to make up that sleep too!  So anyways....I hope you are all doing well!

Skyler and Brett loved Halloween.  They are already talking about what they are going to be next year.  Skyler opted to not be a princess this year, after getting talked out of it by Derek.  He says,"You're always a princess, let's try something else."  With that the purple witch was born.  You'll have to see her pictures under the october album.  She had a great time with Spongebob Squarepants (Brett).  They ended up with buckets and buckets of candy.

Brett is definitely beyond the terrible two's.  It is more like the horrible, terrible, no good, really bad, naughty, naughty twos.  I don't know what I am going to do if Ayden is like this too!  I have a really strong feeling that they are going to be the biggest pair of trouble makers! 

Skyler is doing very good in school.  We had her first conference and it went well.  The only problem she has is that sometimes she can be too social!  Image that!!  I think we have all known that since the very beginning.  She continues to be a big helper and is very protective over her brothers.  She is a regular little mommy! 

Derek is still really busy with work.  He got into a car accident last week.  Thank god he was okay, but he did a big number on the company car.  Then the next day his car wouldn't start and it had to be towed.  It was just one thing after another with cars for him.  I am hoping and knocking on wood that nothing else comes up for him.  He had quite a week. 

School is going by fast.  I really enjoy this semester but hate the time that it takes me from my family.  I like the hospital where we are doing clinicals.  I wish that was a choice for next semester but no luck.  The hospitals for next semester are in Racine and Milwaukee.  I will be going three day shifts this time, so the kids will be in daycare for those days.  I have a choice of OB (1st half of semester)  and Mental Health (2nd half), or Mental Health (1st half) and OB (2nd half), or Public Health (2days a week) and OB (1 day per week).  I would like a lot of OB time so I am going to try for one of the first options.

Not much else going on.  I am having a Lia Sophia jewelry party this weekend so come on over if you want!  It is at 2:00 on Saturday.  Also we are patiently waiting for the Draxler baby to grace us with her presence!  Can you tell, I am just a little bit excited and cannot wait to see her!  We also have a new album out on the albums page titled October Fun.  There you can check out all our fun October outings and pictures from at home.

Much love to you all!  We miss you all so much!

Love Always:  Derek, Nikki, Skyler, Brett and Ayden
