Random Pictures from Fall 2014

How's that for a great title? I thought about writing on here again and found this jumble of photos. I don't think I had a them or anything for this, just wanted to document the Fall activities around Halloween and maybe a bit after that. Enjoy!


Teagan and his preschool class on a field trip to the corn maze and pumpkin patch!


Clean out pumpkins to carve. I love roasting the seeds!


I don't know, but it's a cute smile


Trick or Treat!


They picked out their own costumes this year, both were pretty happy. I think Teagan wore his the entire month leading up to the big event! Come to think of it, he STILL wears it whenever he gets the chance!


Candy


S'more sugar please!


Sticky sweetness, TWO TIMES!


Making the rounds


Filling those candy buckets!


Yup, more candy!


Posing for a picture with the dog. I do think Max is about to abscond with all the candy. He's got that sneaky look about him!


The kids just LOVE handing out candy at the door. I think they like it as much as they like getting candy!


Trin and Autumn helped deliver food boxes for those in need.


Not sure what this is. Well, I know it's a bad picture of me, but I'm not sure why it here.

 

The best thing about bike rides is that there's cupcakes! Okay, there's not always cupcakes. But there was this time!



She always knows the right way to go!


More meal delivery...


I think we were brewing beer while the kids played...

More fall bike riding...I'm pretty sure it was cold!


He LOVES his Spiderman sweatshirt!


Digging up our first ever sweet potatoes!


Just digging!


More digging!


Our first ever sweet potatoes! They look sad because we forgot to water them at the end of the season. The skin had split and they looked pretty bad. But inside they were great!




Slouch...


Pout...one of Teagan's many talents!


Pout, version 2.0


Not pouting anymore! Young Life breakfast!


Trinity at her school assembly (striped shirt, pink pants)


Musing: weird that our child rides one of these now.


Throwing snow...another of Teagan's many talents! Unfortunately he can't take it quite as well as he can dish it out right now. He'll have to get used to it though!


Landon and Teagan, partners in crime!


Bowling is nowhere near as fun as playing the arcade games!


Watching mommy bowl!


Love the ramp for the kids, it makes it a little more fun for everyone, as do the gutter rails!


Violence could ensue...


Fun picture! Landon was great company for both of the kids!


Maybe Thanksgiving dinner at church? I think that the best part was that the kids latched onto Liz and Anna at church, so I could actually eat!



Teagan was eating scoops of butter. Uh, yuck!


Trin and Ruby making snow angels!


I'm not sure what Trinity is doing but I can guarantee that Teagan is eating a cookie from the bakery.


I think that this was my first lunch with Trinity at school!


Whew! I made it through and hopefully so did you! See you soon!

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...

More on the kid...

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...
