Denney update

Aaron is preparing for school to start this August 27th. To further clarify, he is getting his masters degree in curriculum and instruction and will be getting his teaching license at the same time. We are very excited and Aaron is extremely motivated. He is glad to have finally figured out what he wants to do and he won't let anything get in the way. In really good news, Aaron now has Montana residency which has severely dropped our tuition bill! We are very excited about that and know it will help us greatly.

Joseph is doing well. He only takes timid steps now and then. We imagine he will just suddenly decide he wants to walk again and shock us all. In the meantime, we're okay with him crawling or spinning, or however he chooses to get about. We had an overwhelming response to his spinning video from our last post. It is one of our favorites as well. We don't know where he learned to do that because we sure didn't teach it to him, but he sure seems to like it so we don't mind. He has spun into a few doors, and once into our entertainment center. Anyway, he's doing just fine. He did finally begin to get molars. He has one on top and one on bottom. It was quite the ordeal, runny nose, tons of drool, cranky boy, the whole bit. But it's passing, and hopefully we'll have a break before the next one comes. Brave Joseph got his immunizations today. He got six shots at once. He was pretty unhappy about it, but was quite the trooper. In this picture Joseph is playing monster with Julie's fuzzy toe socks.

Julie has to let out a big apology to her sister Heidi, brother in law Ryan, and their sweet baby boy Athen. Amidst all the craziness in moving and not posting as often, we never announced Athen's birth! Julie was lucky enough to be at the hospital with Heidi and Ryan on the big day, May 24th, 2007. Although Heidi ended up having a c-section so Julie wasn't actually able to be there, she was the first outsider to see the sweet boy. He was 9lbs. 2 oz. and 21.5 inches! Julie took this picture from Heidi and Ryan's blog. There are many other adorable pictures of Athen there. There is a link to the left. Athen is growing very fast. He is already 15 pounds and 25 inches. He is such a doll!

Among other news that we haven't shared on the blog, Julie's sister in law Heather (Travis' wife) is expecting their second child in January! They have one boy, Cardon, who just turned 2, and are crossing their fingers for a little girl. They will find out August 27th!

Likewise, Julie's sister Stephanie is also expecting her second child! She has one boy Brayden, will will turn 2 in February, and she is expecting this little one a few weeks after Brayden's birthday!

In the latest events, the California Burnhams celebrated the second annual "Sydney Happened" 5K to raise money to MMA research and to remember sweet Sydney! We were sad we couldn't be there, but we still brought Sydney Happened to Montana. Aaron and Julie wore last year's shirts and went for a walk. It wasn't quite 5K, but it was a great time. Maybe next year we'll even get some of our friends involved.

Unfortunately Joseph wasn't able to stay awake through the whole walk!

Julie is constantly trying to add more fun videos to our video page. The link is on the left. Please check them out! She also fixed the last blog so you can click on the pictures now and get a better close up. Some of them are much better when they're not so small. Til next time, take care and keep us updated on all of your wonderful news. We love to hear it!
