Recent Random Rowdiness

By -
So there's been a bunch of stuff going on lately. This post isn't about any of that stuff. It has been mostly been boring, nothing you'd want to know about anyway. Instead, here's some random stuff from August to October. How's that for a summary? 


It seems harder and harder to get the kids to smile for the camera. Glad we caught this one of Trinity and her uncle Wade!


Who doesn't get excited for cake?!?!?


This was Autumn's birthday party. Goofballs!


Monkey #1 is very proud of herself!


We went to McCall for a few days. While we were there, we went to some hot springs. The best part was that this pool was the same depth the whole way, so the kids could roam the whole thing without ever going too far!


If he knew how nice hot springs really are, he would be smiling.


Juice boxes rule!


Coolest.Play.Structure.Ever


That slide is a loooong one!


A cute pic. Almost inappropriate though. Sorry Audi!


Not a whole lot to say here. Cuteness.



Remember summer? Me too, barely!


It turns out that hamburgers are best when they are dipped in soda.


Nope, wasn't joking.


Exactly!


Helping collect firewood to roast weenies. Teagan can't see a thing without his glasses!


Mommy shows how it's done!


I like this one.


This picture isn't from McCall, but flying kids are funny!


Notice how she maintains form even with her milk cup!


Grandma's memorial. Leave it to the little girl to brighten things up.


Mad face!


Cute kitty!


Cuties...and Teagan with three suckers. Love that candy!


Halloween at preschool


Our little kitty working hard on decorating her cookie!


Cute kid. It's a good thing sometimes.


I don't post videos much, but here's a couple. Teagan jumping.


Jen caught this glimpse into the future of our little band!

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...
