Nine Month Update on Sydney
03/09/09 08:12 PM Filed in: Kids
Sydney had her 9 month checkup today and passed with flying colors. She weighed in at a healthy 21 lbs (that should put her equal with her older sister Jamie) and was 27.25” long. She was in the 50th percentile for all the important things, making her quite “normal.” Her sisters were happy that she required no shots; however, she did have to have her TB and iron tested. Her next visit will be in a few months for her 12 month checkup.
A Taste of Spring

Yesterday and today have been nice, sunny and warm days here in Michigan, giving us an early preview spring. Meghan took the girls outside to allow them to burn off some energy. They took it as an opportunity to dust up on their chalk drawing skills (certainly something that will be needed in the months ahead). Please enjoy the newly added pictures and video showing the fun had by all. Unfortunately, the weather won’t be lasting as we are supposed to get quite a bit of rain tomorrow.
Preparing for Hayley's Education
02/28/09 03:48 PM Filed in: School
We’ve added a new feature to the website that I’m sure everyone will want to take advantage of... Hayley has a savings account through the fine folks at SmartyPig to help her save for her Kindergarten education. She would really like to attend St. Thomas the Apostle School next year. She is counting on the generosity and support of others to help her reach her goal. If you don’t feel like you can make a cash donation, don’t worry we will have many more opportunities for you to show your support (like buying gift certificates through the SCRIP program). As you can see from the graphic below, Hayley is already at 10% of her personal goal. You can find a permanent link to the SmartyPig account on our “about” page.
Site Update - Again...
02/21/09 10:13 PM Filed in: Vedders.org
As you have noticed by now from the new front page and redesigned look, this site has undergone another cosmetic change. Not only does the site have a fresh look, but it also has some different underlying pieces of software. The program that ran the blog needed to be scrapped so that I could fix a problem with the RSS feed. As such most of the archive is missing. I’m not sure if I’m going to fix that. I think this blog needs a fresh new start. That new start will begin today. Feel free to email me if you have any comments. Thanks for visiting.
