What a week


I don't want to trivialize all the fun things we did this past week, but it ended with the biggest event.  So here are a few highlights. 
We went to the Dinosaur Park with some good friends.  D thought it was cool, but he didn't want to stand too close to the skeletons.  Sharp claws.  K HATED the dinosaurs.  She hid her head and tried to ignore it all.  


K did find something she did like.  She is a girl after her mom's heart, she LOVED the SPARKLING JEWLES.  

We went to the annual county fair.  It is little and fun, just the right size for kids.  We saw the animals, had some fresh doughnuts, and rode a few rides.  




So if you are squeamish, now is a good time to STOP READING.  Our biggest event happened a few days ago at Grandma's house.  D and K were playing with a hula hoop, and D pulled it a little to hard.  K hit the floor and spit her little chin open.  We rushed to the pediatric clinic, (they stayed open just for us) and got her stitched up.    





So you might be wondering why her eyes look so funny.  Well, Lizzy thought it would be funny to put lots of bright makeup on K.  We didn't have time to clean her up, so she looked like a "lady of the night" at the doctor's office.  

Here is K with the numbing stuff on her chin.  She was so good and patient.  She just snuggled and read books while we waited.  

K was such an angel.  She sat so quietly and let the doctor do his job.  She whimpered a little, but she didn't even cry.  
When it was all over, K got 6 stitches in her little chin.  She is okay though, and she loves the princess Band-Aids.  I survived my first stitches trauma with K.

How sad! It's hard to see little ones (especially your own child) get hurt. I hope she recovers quickly. I do love the makeup!

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
