More grandparents than you can shake a stick at...

...and more fun than a barrel of monkeys! My dad came down last weekend for a visit with us the grandkids. In the meantime, guess what? We took more pictures! We shot more video! Wahoo!


I couldn't get a good shot of Teagan and mom, but he was looking very stylish in his hat!


How is it that our daughter is old enough to have her own drink in a regular paper cup? Okay, so it was a couple of tablespoons in a dixie up, but she's growing up so fast! This was fun, she kept asking for more and more. She was having so much fun!


Not sure here, but cute!


We taught Teagan to pull hair. It sort of backfired because Trinity likes it when Teagan grabs her. She's turning into already the world's sweetest little girl. It's so much fun watching her grow up. Did you notice the crossed-out typing? I just discovered it. That means I'll over use it for a while.


I try and post pictures with significance. For this one? First diaper I have seen Sue change. For someone who doesn't do it too often, she did a great job!


First of many like this, I presume. My dad and Trinity out playing in the yard. Dad really got into it. He even laid down in the snow and showed Trinity how to make a snow angel. I think he regrets doing it in jeans though...brrr!

We discovered one of the greatest sounds ever:


Isn't that laugh just precious! No one can make him laugh like that except Trinity. Special kids I tell you, special kids.


I think they are all looking at the camera, or at least close to it. That means this post is a wrap. Take care of you and yours.

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...
