Thanksgiving 2010

Wednesday while Jon and I went to a movie with friends Kaylee threw a Kaylee fit. Papa and Sam where watching the children for us. My awesome Dad took pictures before moving her to the couch. (I so would have done the same!)

Apparently she got VERY mad when Sam couldn’t understand her whining fit demanding yogurt. And then when Sam and Dad FINALLY deciphered her tantrum, they had to break the news that there was no yogurt.

More unreasonable yelling and fit throwing ensued.

They finally got her to settle with eating a banana. And as soon as she finished it she curled up on the bar stool and passed out.

What a lovely way to start our Thanksgiving break. Meanwhile Jon and I had an awesome time out to the movies. (Harry Potter if you where wondering.)

She was MUCH better the next day. So excited to be with some of her favorite people. And SO excited for her Daddy made pie.

I made the turkey. It was awesomely falling off the bones when we removed it from the oven. SO yummy. This year was by far our smallest Thanksgiving EVER! It was still lovely.

We three girls went out shopping to hit some of the deals. Kaylee LOVES shopping. Mom even treated us to sushi! Kaylee is a big fan of shrimp.

The children had good times with Papa (no pictures since he was always behind the camera) and their Yaiyai/Babushka.

We ended our 5 day 4 night adventure by going to cousin Ben’s homecoming. It was SO wonderful to see him. I just wish my children were not so ridiculously crabby that day. It’s crazy how fast 2 years goes. Kaylee was 8 months old the last time we saw Ben. And now he’s home with a sweet accent.

Negative.

Oh, HAPPY day! Today we are SO very o.k. with still not knowing what’s wrong with Regan. He is still having the BV even on the newest formula. But today that is JUST fine. His sweat test for CF tested negative. And it also only took a a 1/2 hour to get enough sweat. They said it could take up to an hour, so it was nice that it didn’t. The nurses just loved Regan. He didn’t try to rip off the test things, and was happy, chatty, and smiling with anyone who walked by. One nurse in passing said it was so nice to see a baby that wasn’t crying. Regan’s nurse Cyndi was very impressed with him. And very happy to tell us that the test was negative. While we were at the hospital Kaylee was enjoying time at a famous day spa. Have you herd of Aunti Lipgloss’? It’s the newest hot spot for a 2 year old to get a mani/pedi. All while watching a movie lounging on plush pillows, eating fruit snacks and popcorn. She just really did not miss us three at all. But really who could blame her?

HAPPY HAPPY week everyone. We are VERY busy at our house this week. I’ll post about that soonish. It’s all VERY exciting. Well to me anyway.

updates and such


“Unkie Jots” came to visit on his way down to Phoenix. I was so happy to be able to get these super cute photos of Josh and Regan. I only snapped these three and was happy to stop at perfection before either of these boys were done posing. They were so good to humor me and my photo taking obsession. We hope Josh had a lovely vacation, and we hope to have another visit from him soon.

And now for a Regan update:

We had our appointment with the pediatric Gastroenterologist. He asked LOTS of questions. Which was good. He then decided that we should try a different formula for a couple of weeks. It’s even more broken down and so it smells so much worse. Poor Regan doesn’t really like it. I don’t blame him the smell makes me gag. Pre-digested ick! But hopefully it will do the trick. Dr. “K” also ordered a test for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). He said it was possible that Regan may have CF. We are praying that the test has a negative reading and that Regan does NOT have CF. Jon is going to get the test scheduled ASAP. However if the test comes back negative and the new formula doesn’t help, our poor Regan will most likely have to get the scope and biopsy done. So that is where we are at……
