Rachel's first BURN..maybe a 2nd degree burn

Last night was not a good night.
Both the kids decided at 9pm that the needed a snack and went and open the fridge after us(Dad and Mom) telling them to wait and we would get them a snack. Nathan wanted strawberry yogurt and Rachel wanted cut up peaches in a snack pack. Well they decided they couldn't wait one of us to help get a snack and went and left the fridge open for awhile. All of a sudden we hear screaming and Rachel crying, this is her first burn...... She says she got burnt on the fridge light. I went and touched it and didn't think it was that hot.
Well 2 hrs later, several ice packs and a lot of LOVE from Mommy, she finally feel asleep around 11am. She was in sooooooooooooooo much pain, that I wanted to cry with her. I could not for the life of me find our 1st aid kit. So I will be trying to figure out where we placed it after our family camping trip to Tomales Bay later month. Bad burn....This really hurt.
More pictures of the burn, I bet it's going to blister.

Nathan's first day back to Speech Therapy

Nathan standing up against his speech therapy building. I talked to his speech therapist today and she said if we wanted to go from two times a week to once a week...that would be OK. He is making good progress with forming his words and maybe able to stop speech at the first of the year. We will see where he is then.


Nathan hard at work with his speech therapist Tracy. Tracy is super sweet. He was so excited to see her today after a three month break from speech.










A pretty rose bush at the school. You could tell it was over cast today and pretty chilly.

What's for Dinner....Very easy lazy supper.

Well I'm just having one of those lazy days. So tonight we are having this lasagna and some fresh green broccoli. I'm just going to cut up the broccoli add some butter and spices and maybe some garlic bread. Nathan really likes broccoli and is about the only green veggie that he seems to enjoy. The kids really enjoyed dinner. We received a surprise from Poppa...a chocolate and cherry cake for dessert.
John has been working on adding a fence around the house, so Remy has some area to run. We get our new puppy in 2 1/2 weeks. In case you didn't know, Remy is our new puppy coming from Colorado.

Feeling guilty about Not breastfeeding longer....I know 3 1/2 years too late.

I don't know why, but I have been feeling incredibly guilty for not breastfeeding my twins longer.
For me, it was so very hard to make it 6 to 8 weeks of breastfeeding and pumping. But now almost 4years later feel this EXTREME GUILT of not trying to stick it out longer or get the help .
I needed to make it longer....I feel selfish and wish I could have done things differently.
I'm sorry, I just needed to share this. Maybe my PPD was more than I could handle and having a infant with Torticollis and Acid Reflux was just too much for me.
I support any Mother that wants to go as long (within reason)as they can in breastfeeding...I guess I can say I'm a little jealous.

Airshow at the Charles M Schultz Airport

Nathan and Rachel enjoying their first airshow ever. They had a great time besides the Jet noise which they really did NOT enjoy. It was too funny watching them cover their ears even though they had ear plugs in their ears.
Here is the proof that Nathan is quite a bit bigger than Rachel...about a good 3 to 4 inches taller.

Rachel really wanted to go on this helicopter, she was so brave and went with daddy into the helicopter. Nathan was too scared and said "No Thank You."

Sitting in their first Hot Rod, a Saturn. Do you think when they get their first car to share, that there will be NO fighting?...LOL

Waving at the military officers flying the aircraft.
Nathan looking COOL.

Big noisy Jets.
