Burkhardts

Today we went to American Fork to visit the Burkhardts, deliver birthday gifts and check out the progress on their yard. Aubrey will turn one year old on Sunday the 16th and Robin's birthday is on Tuesday the 18th. Andrew starts chemo again on Monday and will continue for about three months. We hope he won't feel too yucky. Kindergarten (Ashlyn) and Pre-school (Katelyn) end next week. The yard is coming along if only the weather would cooperate. The trees and stumps are removed, the yard is graded, the rock wall is in and the fence posts are being placed. They still have a patio to pour and a sprinkling system to install.


This shows the raised NE corner of the property. They are leasing it from the HOA. It will be used as a garden.

Here's the rock wall & fence posts along the north property line.

NW corner of property. They finally got the trampoline up. The Mt. Timp Temple spire is slightly visible if you know where to look for it.

What a difference a year makes! Aubrey was such a difficult baby. All she did was scream, puke and refuse to sleep. Thankfully, she is now a content baby. She eats well and keeps it down. Aubrey sleeps 12 hours straight at night and has two naps during the day! She must be making up for all the sleep she missed earlier. She doesn't walk yet but runs 'lickity-split' in her walker. She crawls and is very active. She gets into everything. Aubrey has her one year check-up on Tuesday. We're guessing she weighs about 27 pounds! Aubrey's molars are coming through, her hair is growing and is getting lighter.

This is what Aubrey looked like shortly after birth. She was quite black, yet her oxygen levels were normal. They claimed her color was due to bruising. It didn't take long for her to 'pink' up.

One the way home we stopped at the Family History Library in Salt Lake. We talked to Gary and wished him a happy birthday on Monday. We also had a nice visit about family history with Bart and Ruby. We went to Marilyn and Gary's apartment and enjoyed the talking with them, Jennifer and Sadie.
