Lots and Lots

A couple of weeks ago we went to Denver for a wedding. Autumn and Angela worked together and ran together for quite some time. Then Angela up and moved to Denver to work as a flight attendant. the airline industry's gain is Baker City's loss for sure. It also appears that this young man is about to gain as well! Congratulations John and Angela!



Ah, lovebirds!

Now here's a couple of good-looking gals!

This last weekend we had Ava staying with us for the weekend. She's about 2 months younger than Trinity and a whole lot of fun. I just can't believe they sat still for this photo!

Okay, maybe they didn't sit still for very long...I think Trinity wants most of the space in the picture!

Okay, this is really hard to tell, but Ava is dancing like a little maniac! She has great little moves which are so fun! Trinity has the "stand and bob up and down" moves mastered, but it's no Ava dance.

We took the limo and the compact car...

Bookstore mayhem, it's great that there is such great children's section. Trinity is holding the apple. You know the apple, it's the one with the bell in it.

And Teagan is, well, you know

We took the girls out to Keating to feed the chickens and pet the horses...thanks Rebecca! Trinity was very interested in the animals. I think that she's fearless...or foolish. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.


Loves the horse...

This is about as close as Ava wanted to get...

On the other hand, Trinity wanted to get into the pasture and live with the horses!

...Ava was contented to watch for now. We'll go out again and she'll probably love all the animals. I think that it was just a little intimidating at first.

Trinity even tried herding the chickens. Her shoes needed a little cleaning after this trip!

Here's Autumn and Teagan just hanging out. He does that a lot. It's nice to have one cuddler at least!

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...
