Easter Installment #2, last one for sure!

By -
To be fair, I am really over the Easter pictures. This is the last batch for this year. I promise. I am so far behind my other pictures that these just seem so, well, old. But don't worry, cute antics of cute kids rarely get old, unless repeated ad nauseam. I'll spare you that. Wait. TOO LATE! HAHAHAHA!


Yes, my kids like wearing other peoples' shoes. Sometimes they even wear two of the same kind.


Teagan has a weird thing with vacuums. He wants to play with them, then he wants them on. Then he wants them off. It's enough to drive a parent crazy! I finally heard about another child who obsessed over vacuums. He doesn't do it now, which I initially thought was encouraging. Then l learned he is 46 years old now. Hopefully we don't have to wait that long!


Baking cookies! Or was it cake? Does it matter? Licking the spoon rules!


My girls


First really good utensil usage. He is getting good at it now.


Fairly precise for 19 months!


Did I say obsessed? At least he's happy.


Oh yeah, this post is supposed to wrap up Easter. First egg-dying session!


The little wire hangars that they give you to lift the egg out always fascinated me. It does not hold the same sway over Trinity...fingers it is!


Yup, still there.


Back to the eggs dying...


And egg finding...


And the Easter Bunny! Warren is a fixture in our community for mostly negative reasons (it seems), but he has a good heart. And how can you not love the costume?


I think I had better keep one eye on my food and one on Teagan...


The church had a egg hunt too. I think Autumn is giving the blessing...


And they're off! Ethan is off to the races! They had to find one egg of each color.


Trinity was not off to the races. She rarely is. She's our little dreamer!


Dawson filling up his bag (Ethan's little brother)


Terrabinth is about as cute as they get!


Jaden is wondering why some guy is taking her picture...


Putting their heads together.


Teagan helping pick up eggs. He sure likes to help!


There was an Easter story told through each of the 12 eggs that the kids collected. Trinity had a hard time sitting still for the story part...


...but the part where you get a cookie and frosting is right up her alley!


It sure is great to watch our kids grow up and gain new experiences. It's even better to watch them smear frosting on a cookie and eat it. Happy Easter everyone!

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

So it's been a crazy couple of weeks for us, which makes our lives about the same as yours. We have, however, been able to get out and do some fun things. This weekend, one of the highlights was walking into town to get Trinity her first ice cream cone. Her uncle Rick gave her money on her birthday for this, so we're finally getting to it. It was the perfect day for it! As everyone knows, you have to approach an ice cream cone very carefully. You have to study its patterns, learn where it hunts. Only then can you move in for the kill... Or you can just grab it and bite it! It was really amazing how well our little girl did with her first cone. She took good bites and even wanted to share. After the first few bites she wouldn't take any more until Autumn and I had take bites ourselves. Very generous if you ask me. I think she gets it from her mother... There really wasn't even very much mess. Mostly around the mouth area. We had prepared for the worst, even to the point

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
