Annual All-Nighter

Dylan has an annual EEG to monitor his epilepsy. His brain needs to be tired, so we have to keep him up all night.


This year, we told Connor he could stay up, too. He made it until the end of my shift at 4 am.


Here is Dylan hooked up to the machine right before his test.

Christmas 2009

One of our holiday traditions: making and decorating sugar cookies.

We love the Mo Willems books, and Connor loves stuffed animals. When he discovered that the Mo Willems characters are available as stuffed animals, it was a perfect match. He got the pidgeon as a gift, and bought Elephant, Piggy, and Knuffle Bunny with his Barnes & Noble gift cards.

This is not a stuffed. It really is a 5 pound chocolate bar. Lucky girl!

Happy Holidays from the Stockerts!

Wreaths Across America

For the second year, we participated with our Cub Scout pack in the Wreaths Across America event at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery. There were many volunteers and family members there to lend a hand.

The boys and I helped lay wreaths on the headstones

including Brad's father.
