See my furry caterpillar?

I think that for the most part, I post pictures and write about them because, ultimately, I want to remember certain moments in time. I want to translate our experiences as a family into memories. The problem is that most memories fade with time. Documentation is how we remember. Autumn and I have tried to use photo books to do this, and I really like them because I actually reread them and never really tire of it. This blog is another way to do that, although I don't go back and read it as much as I had hoped. But that's okay. i have found that this blog is a really good way to express myself and share my family with you all at the same time. AND it preserves moments of our lives together. Cool widget! Now, if I could only put it into a book form, or at least comic book form. Hmm...


Cookies. When he was finished he wanted more. No, that's not correct, he WANTED MORE NOW! There was an evil spirit in that boy for a short time.


I hope DHS isn't reading my blog or checking my Facebook account. What is this? This is art. This is creativity. This is what a desperate man does when he has three cranky kids and he needs to get out of the house. I should just install a seat belt up top. Trinity loves to ride there.


At some point Teagan and I went to get propane. While we were waiting we discovered a play structure. Teagan likes to play. Heck, I like to play. So we played.


He did a very nice job waiting for me to come around to catch him. It was a steep little slide, but he managed just fine. My outstretched arms were more for moral support than actually support.


I think that, given the beauty of a child's smile, we should all go down a slide at least once a week. We would all smile more, and that's never a bad thing!


Hmm, something is just a little out of place in this pictures...


I can't remember what day it was, but Autumn told me that Trinity called her over to see what she was drawing. She said that she drew a balloon. She usually draws shapes, etc, on command, but this was purely her idea, makes me very proud! Wait, I remember what day it was now...


See my furry caterpillar? It's full of dirt and grass seed, so we can give it haircuts all summer. How can that not be fun?

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

First Scoop...and a monkey!

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
