After getting back, we were immediately hit with the stomach flu. Joseph first, then Julie, and then Aaron. Joseph had it the worst, Julie was taken out for a day, and Aaron wasn't hit too bad, but had to take care of the others for the few days they weren't doing so well. It was really hard to go through that. Especially watching poor Joseph all sick. But he's better now, still getting his appetite back, but feeling 100%.
Joseph is getting bigger every day. He's noticeably taller now. He can reach things on our counters, and is good at using his tippy toes to reach things he couldn't before. We are learning we have to be extra careful with where we place things now. We don't know how much he weighs, but we figure he has to be 30 lbs by now. He has a doctors appointment later in November, so we'll be able to find out for sure. He is getting really good at his signs. He uses these signs:"help, please, thank you, eat, milk, help, bath, water, brush teeth, shoes, and more" He recognizes the sign for dad, and is getting better at saying "papa". He's also saying "woof".
Our latest adventure was today, Halloween. Joseph was dressed up as a red M&M. It wasn't the fanciest costume, but it worked for the one door we trick or treated at. We even had a few trick or treaters at our house. One was Jordan, our favorite turtle. It was all around a great time, although a few scary costumes were a bit too scary for Joseph.
Julie has finally gathered a few pictures of Cyrus and Olivia. We haven't been able to capture a good picture of Cyrus yet. He's really a friendly, smiley guy. But now you can get an image of him. Olivia is also a few friendly, sweety little lady.
In other news, Aaron has officially been accepted into the teaching program here at U of M. So now he can officially work with the program and feels good about the work he's done this semester. It's winding down fast and he's trying not to get too excited about winter break.
To update all the news in the Burnham family, here's the baby count. Travis and Heather are expecting "Kaliya Nicole" in January. Stephanie and Nathan are expecting "Sadie" in February, and Stacie and Jim are expecting "Nicholas Taylor" in March. We are so excited about these new additions to the family!
Well, hopefully we've updated on most of the important news and not forgotten anything. The day to day is still just the day to day. Do check out our video page when you get the chance. Julie's worked hard to upload lots of new videos. We love to hear your comments, and will continue to keep in touch the best we can. Thanks for all your love and support!

I like the scarf and hat, Julie. Is that crocheting or knitting? Also that picture of Joseph recovering is sad. Poor guy. Way to go Aaron. What does it mean to be "accepted"? Thanks for putting the news about Abram Timothy. Anna is doing well. In a couple of hours Abram will officially be full term. Also how old is Joseph? He looks really tall.
