The Beach: Day 2 (And 3)

By -
If you read  the last post, you know that we were at the beach most of last week. We covered day 1 at the beach. Most people would look at that post and think that it was sufficient to describe our experience. I disagree and therefore will add WAY more photos just to prove my point. Wait, did I have a point? What was it? Help me out here!


This was day two at the beach. That's it, just a lot of wind and two kids who did not want to be there. Wait, we did drive to Seaside though. The rain in the morning was really coming down so we drove to Seaside so that the kids could ride the carousel. Here's a picture to prove it. Just kidding, there's actually THREE!


Trinity wanted to ride the bunny...so she did!


Both kids had a blast!


Then it was time for clam chowder, yum!


Now that day 2 is over (finally, right?), we can move on to day 3 and Cannon Beach. They have tide pools!


And start fish to touch!


And plenty of other wildlife!

It was fun to take the kids to Haystack Rock and check out the tide pools. I grew up near salt water, so it was a great thing to share that with the kids. Not much salt water in Baker City! After the tide pools, we traveled home and napped, etc. Then it was off to the beach again!


A beached whale? Baby Beluga? Ha!


Fun and games on the beach!


Kids are cute, especially when they sit somewhere funny.


Last post had a great picture of Teagan. This time it's Trinity's turn. I love her smile.

So there we were, playing at the beach, when I was assaulted by a bad smell. We simply had to investigate who POOPED!


Was it Teagan?


Was it daddy? By the way, sorry you had to see this picture.


And last but not least, was it Trinity?

After much investigation, we finally discovered the perpetrator. But it would be way too improper to rat out the little stinker, so you'll just have to guess for yourself. Suspense killing you? Just for you, I will reveal who pooped...in the next blog post...stay tuned!

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...
