Life's Funny Like That!

It's always funny to start with a picture of a toilet, I don't care WHAT you're writing! It seems like this year we have taken an all time low number of photographs. Blame it on the rain, whatever, we're not snapping like we used to. I also haven't posted much here either. Coincidence? Not likely. In all honesty though, we still take plenty of pictures, many of them blurry, many of them off center, too dark, too light, you name it. We also have our share of endearing shots as well. But I tried to not post any of those here. Mainly these are shots that make me say, "hmm, that's funny!". Please keep in mind that the word "funny" has many meanings, so don't criticize the photo that didn't make you laugh. Or do. Go on with your bad self!


Yeah, bathroom humor is the best! Outdoor bathroom humor is even better!


Take me to your leader!


Trinity was playing with a toy mermaid. She has two of them. She likes to play with them in the bath. At any given time, they are missing at least one arm. Maybe both. Trin really likes to play with them and it turns out that she had pulled the flipper (mermaid legs?) off of this poor maid and was trying to pop the -ahem- bosom area back out when she realized that she couldn't extract her finger. So, a bar of soap, lotion, fingernail clippers and finally a pair of sharp cooking shears later, here is the aftermath. Well, that and a really purple finger!


They really like each other, when they aren't driving each other mad!


Okay, not a funny picture. Just an good picture of my beautiful wife!


So, as a family we like to run. We frequently race to and fro. Funny huh? If you look closely, you'll notice that we'll race race almost any time and any place, in ANY footwear...ha!


Yeah, just funny faces!


Wanna know something sort of funny? I won a trip to New York. Really, it wasn't funny. It was AWESOME! But one funny thing was that we were walking through Times Square and ended up on Good Morning America!


What's funny is that we really DO like each other, you just can't tell in this  picture.


There, that's better!


What was funny was that we had tickets to a small concert by John Legend and this Airstream was at the entrance. That's funny!


Yep, we were close.


Brooklyn Bridge shot taken from a taxi...yep, a little cliche!


Yeah, that's a real cookie!

Until next time!

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...
