Trick-r-Treat

We had a fun family Halloween night. The boys got all dressed up and we headed over to The Petty's house for their annual 'chili cookoff' event. There was many other families there too. First we took all the kids out for 'trick-r-treating' and headed back to their house and had some of that chili and played with the kids. It was a lot of fun.




McKay was Buzz Lightyear.
Bryce was a Monkey.
Carson was a Bumble Bee.

HELLO JELL-O!

My son loves his Jell-O Chocolate pudding Snacks...

Our Trip to the Georgia Aquarium today.

We finally did it. We made it out to the Georgia Aquarium today. And it was a blast! The boys really enjoyed the "petting zoo" part. They got to touch electric sting rays and a baby shark! Plus... we found Nemo and all his friends too.

Umm...bat coffee.

A new form of kopi luwak coffee?

Woman wakes up, should have smelled the coffee

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (AP) September 29, 2008 - It wasn't just the caffeine that gave an Iowa woman an extra jolt after she had her morning coffee. It was also the bat she found in the filter.

The Iowa Department of Public Health says the woman reported a bat in her house but wasn't too worried about it. She turned on her automatic coffee maker before bedtime and drank her coffee the next morning.

She discovered the bat in the filter when she went to clean it that night. The woman has undergone treatment for possible rabies.

Health officials say that the bat was sent to a lab but that its brain was too cooked by the hot water to determine whether it had rabies.

Quote: Pat Hill

“When it’s all said and done, he’ll be the best kicker we’ve ever had,” Bulldogs coach Pat Hill said. “He’s going to be a great player for us. This game does not fall on him or any player. It was a team loss. There were so many missed opportunities on offense, defense and special teams.”

--Pat Hill on Kevin Goessling, Fresno State Bulldogs field goal kicker, that missed three kicks vs. Wisconsin in a 13-10 loss.

I read this on the yahoosports page last week while looking for the boxscore & recap of the #21Fresno State Bulldogs verse #10Wisconsin game. I thought it was pretty cool.

bath times

Baby Carson got his first bath times tonight. (His belly button, cord thing came out a day or two ago.) He is just like his brothers, in that he enjoys his bath time very much. Only a few tears from him at the first. Then he was just chillin' in tub!

Baby update 3

Baby Carson is Home!

Both Jill and Carson were able to come home together on Tuesday afternoon. Jill is continuing to feel better and better each day. She is, of course, still sore and in some pain from the C-Section. But she is very strong and doing great.

Carson is eating, pooin', peein', and sleepin' really good! He's filling up his diapers too. The small amount of fluid, and the few air bubbles, in his lungs are all gone. He is breathing just fine. His jaundice is still a little bit of a issue. The good thing is that he doesn't have to be in the 'photo therapy' beds anymore. He has a Doctor's appointment on Wednesday to meet his pediatrician.

McKay and Bryce are very excited that their baby brother is home with them now. All they want to do is hold him or try to play with him all the time. McKay is very interested in helping out as much as possible. He's always asking, "Mommy-Daddy, What is Baby Carson is doing?" And Bryce says, "Baby. Baby! Nice. Nice."




Thank You to everyone who has called or e-mailed us this past week. Your love and support is very much appreciated by Jill and I both. Please continue to pray that Carson will continue to improve. Also that Jill will have a speedy recovery. God is Good!
