Church Music, Older Brothers and...Shoes?

Last weekend was the time change thing. Spring ahead? Something like that. I think it was more like, lose even more sleep than usual. Seems like the world slows down for a day or two after the time change. Is it worth it? Who knows. What I do know is that the time change allowed us to stay at church after the service to enjoy the brunch. Usually we have to get home to get the little girl down for her morning nap. There was ham and eggs and pancakes and juice and all kinds of fun! Trinity had second breakfast and then was off to socialize with everyone she could find! Here's a great shot of her with Emma, one of her "older" friends:

What a great shot of the girls! Notice the sweet smock she received for Christmas from Sue, it's perfect for protecting her Sunday best!

It's really hard to see the drum sticks, since they're moving so FAST, but Trinity was having a blast banging on the drums at church, she was moving from drum to drum, just hitting away. Sure is fun to watch her try new things!

Auntie Beth came over the other night to pick something up. I can't remember what it was, but Payton and Spencer came with her. They use to be in daycare with Trinity and just love her. They are so good with her. Here is Payton helping Trinity through her numbers book.

Finally, we come to the end. Today, Autumn, Trinity and I went to Boise for Trinity's neurology appointment. It was a 3 month follow up. We didn't learn anything new, but we start tapering Trinity's anti-seizure medication next week. That will be nice, I have heard that it has some side effects as far as moodiness. Of course, you'd never tell with our little girl, she's pretty much always happy. While we were in Boise, we did a little shopping, as usual. You can tell by the picture above what Trinity needed. Who said diamonds are a girl's best friend?

    Great pictures! I really like the one of Emma and Trinity. Wonder why? I see Trinity's getting a good start on some adorable shoes. I girl's gotta have her shoes. :^) Vicki

Waiting For a Miracle

As many of you know, Trinity is in the pediatric ICU at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. She's been having seizures but as yet there is no diagnosis aas to what the underlying problem might be. Autumn and I are learning a great deal and I am getting a crash course in ICU medicine. Trinity has been sedated since Monday morning about 2am Mountian Time. She is on a ventilator, so the sedative is to keep her from fighting all the tubes. One thing we have learned is that we don't have control of this situation. It's hard because I don't want my daughter to suffer. I don't want her to have permanent damage from this. I want my daughter back because I miss her terribly. But I have to let all of that go and trust that God has our best in mind. I have to because I can't do a single thing to help her right now. So I pray and cry a little and sing to my baby. Autumn is doing the same. We have been incredibly blessed to have support from all over the ...

The end of a good thing

Okay, I am a fan of breastfeeding. That sounded weird. I don't like it for me, but for my kids. Autumn worked very hard at it, with wonderful results for Teagan and Trinity both. She was so successful that we are just now, 9 months after weaning Teagan, running out of frozen stores of breast milk for his bottles. Now, we haven't been giving it to him exclusively. He has been on cow's milk ever since he was a year old. It's been mostly for night time bottles. Unfortunately now that's over too. Here's our memorial service for breast milk: Proud mommy...and she should be! Yep, he loves him some breast milk! And now, since that chapter is over and a new one is started, we'll talk about the grieving process. Poor little Teagan will likely be going through an extensive emotional adjustment. Let's see one scenario of how it might  go: The first reaction will be typical crying. He doesn't get what he wants, so he cries. Hey, don't we all? At th...

I get bored pretty easy. I get tired of the same old thing. But I discovered something. I don't get tired of my wife or daughter. Do they get on my nerves sometimes? Sure, but I never get tired of them. We went to Boise last week (or was it the week before?) for follow-up appointments for Trinity. We were there for two days because Trinity was scheduled for a follow-up MRI and they won't see her at the neurologist's office the same day as the MRI. I can see why; she has to be put to sleep for the MRI because it takes over 45 minutes and she has to stay still. Trinity can't stay still for 45 seconds, much less 45 minutes! Here are some photos from the trip: Here's Miss Smiley-Bug waiting for her turn in the MRI machine. She was having fun crawling around and trying to pull on as many dangling cords as possible. She's so much fun to be around. She barely even cried when they put the IV in her arm. She did fight a little, just because she doesn't like being hel...
