And yet, another black eye.


You would think that we were over our eye problems, huh? Well, it happened again. Last night Ashtyn was wearing her lovely princess dressup shoes and fell, hitting the banister and causing another black eye.

I'm just a little afraid what people are thinking now. I almost feel like I have to explain to everyone who sees her what happened, "you know, I really don't abuse her!" (although you would think so sometimes when she wants to go with a certain someone in the ward and BEGS to not come back to me!). Oh well, I guess she is destined for black eyes in her life. Oh, and for the record, I was out shopping at the time... (:

Oh dear. My kids don't actually get black eyes--they give them to me more often. She is cute nonetheless!

Poor girl. Hope she's okay, and I know what you mean about feeling like you have to tell everyone. :-)

My poor Ashtyn! Just bring her over so I can take care of her. She needs another day of fancy dining and shopping with her favorite family :)

Actually, it's the bruises people *can't* see that cause the doctor's to raise their eyebrows, so you're still good :) And Ashtyn would get the 'tomboy' award, but she was wearing a princess dress at the time...

Shay's B-day, Maple syrup, and Cryosurgery

Image
This last week has been a little crazy for our family. Most of us have been sick (except Brian, Shay, and I) so it's been fun battling fevers and antibiotics, but also trying to do field trips, volunteering at school, doctors appointments, science projects, birthdays, basketball, ballet, iceskating etc. Whew!! I'm glad it's over. Although today is a catch up day on Tera and Shay's science projects, so I will let you know if we survive or not. Okay, a little recap on some of the things we did this last week. *I went on a really fun field trip with Ashtyn and her preschool. We went to Brookside Nature Center to see the Maple tree farm they have. I have to tell you, it was one of my favorite field trips I have ever been on. We got to see the sap from the Maple trees come out and into the buckets and we got to taste the real maple syrup. It was so yummy. It's going to be hard to go back to the fake stuff... We learned all about photosynthesis and it even stopped rainin

Club Feet

Image
Brynley was born with club feet. She had to have casts on both legs up to her thighs for eight weeks. She had new casts put on every week and a half to two weeks. During this time she had surgery on her tendons so they will grow longer. She finally graduated to braces that she had to wear night and day for six weeks. Now, she is out of her braces during the day and just wears them at night until she is four or five years. Phew! It's been a long process, but we are just grateful that this is the only problem she has had to deal with. So, here are some pictures of her casts and braces, thought you might enjoy! First Casts Blessing day! Braces!

The Birth Story....

I've been putting writing the birth story off because it's not really something I want to relive, but I decided I need to write it to remember some of my feelings and blessings that I have. And of course, to have those of you who are curious to catch up... so here goes... On the 24th, the morning of the c-section everything was going just fine. Brian was there early, and even though I was a little nervous, we said prayer and felt everything would be okay. The prep was fine, and the surgery started. Brian came in after the spinal and it quickly proceeded. It seemed like it was taking quite a lot longer to get Brynley out than I expected. I started to get the feeling things weren't going well. When they finally did get her out, she didn't cry for quite a while which was scary, but when she finally did we were so relieved. I got to see her for just a minute and then they whisked her away to the NICU. Then the placenta, which wasn't coming out. I could tell it was takin
