Happy Halloween

The Coates family has been keeping busy the last few months.
In September we spent a nice Saturday at a fun new place called Rafiki. It is a giant indoor play room for kids with a deli and nice couches for seating for the parents. We went with some friends (The Sprague Family). Peyton keeps begging to go back.
Brandon and I started Addi on the bottle a few weeks ago. I pump and Brandon can now do night feedings. We split the night in half so we each get at least 4 hours of sleep a night, including when Addi sleeps in her crib after a feeding. It has really helped me get better sleep, and Brandon gets less, but he never complains.
Brandon's work is keeping him busy, busy. We seem to both have full days. The weekends are always a nice time to catch up on a little R&R or at least some nice family time.
Peyton is keeping us on our toes as usual. He is a busy guy and so much fun to watch him play, he has such an active imagination. He is also a big helper with his little sister. He wants to be involved in anything he can. I ask him to grab things sometimes and he is right on top of it.
Addi has been gaining weight, you can really see it in her face. She eats and sleeps, and poops. She does stay awake for little bits at a time now and stares at us. Sometimes she with give us the biggest grin! I love it!
The kids both have been sick with bad colds recently, Peyton just recently cleared up. Just in time for Halloween.
HALLOWEEN!!! What a great time we all had. We went trick or treating with some friends and their kids. Peyton picked up on it very well and had a blast. He was a BSU Bronco Football player. Addi stayed in her stroller all evening and slept. I really enjoyed seeing Peyton have so much fun.
Today, is Sunday, November 2nd. Other than a little grocery shopping we all decided to lay low today and get a little rest before a busy week. Thanksgiving is going to be here soon and I'm sure there are many quiet evenings at home in our future.
Everyone is doing well and we hope you are all as blessed as we are.
