1st Teacher Work Day of the Year = ER Visit

On September 29, we had the first teacher work day of the year.

Ordinarily I welcome them with open arms.

Who doesn't like sleeping in?

But at last, not all teacher workdays are

good days.

Especially the ones where you have to visit the

ER before lunch.

Check out Ruby's gash.

Little Larry chased her through the kitchen where she slipped

and made contact with one of our dutch ovens.

OUCH!

It was terrible.

I can handle seizures and surgeries, but gushing blood

and wiggly teeth are not my thing.

Once I got past the tears, mine that is,

I realized it wasn't as bad as I had initially thought.

Ruby was such a brave trooper. She had 3 little

stitches put in.

This is just a random picture of my

little monkey. She had a mouth full of grapes.

We like to scare daddy and email him such pictures

with a caption that reads might need to go

to the doctors. Unexplained swelling.

He took us seriously once and panicked.

Getting the stitches removed.

She had so much fun letting nurse Tina remove them.

Luckily, her wound is near the hair line. Not to mention it was

perfectly straight.

Since this accident, we have had another

teacher workday and I am proud to

say there were no ER or Dr. visits.

Wow. So sorry about the accident. I freak out when those things happen. I'm glad she's okay.

Love,

PS Loved the detail about the jokes you play on my brother with the cell phone pics! FUNNY.

A Young Man Turns 9

It is so hard to believe that my oldest boy turned 9 on Dec 30th. 9 years! Wow. We began our journey with little Larry at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. My 17 week ultrasound had shown that I was carrying twins in which 1 twin had died just the week before. It was such devastating news. I remember lying there thinking do such things happen. The poor OB cried along with us. He honestly was not sure what the outcome would be for the living twin because it appeared the 2 babies shared a sac. Not only did they share a sac, but it also appeared the 2 might even be conjoined at the abdomen. Of course I went to a specialist who was able to determine the "syndrome." I really HATE that word. But my baby had what is known as OEIS Syndrome. Oomphalocoele, Exstrophy, Imperforate Anus, Spina Bifida. Wow. What is this and do such things really exist? Well, the specialist really only wanted to help us out in 1 way, abortion. He felt this child would never live a normal life. And yet he had never…

Beach Blanket Bingo

Last week we packed our bags and headed for Hilton Head Island. We had never been there before and heard rave reviews from quite a few friends. Being just 5 hours from our house, how could we not look into it. Such a love affair between father and daughter. These two absolutely adore one another. My fearless Ethan. He scared me too death because he was always out far from the beach and alone. He had absolutely no fear and was a pro on that little boogie board. Funny story, on our first day there, Ethan had gotten out a little far and was alone so Larry Denzil went out to join him. Behind Ethan, Larry saw a fin peer up out of the water in reaching distance and pulled Ethan to him. When he turned toward the shore, it was just a dolphin. Whew! I absolutely love this picture. Ethan just sat in the shallow pool of water and did what looked like synchronized swimming.
Xander and Larry both boogie boardin' fools. Larry tried to hit dad up for a surf board. What was he thinking? I can tell teen years …

One Last Summer Hurrah

Well, our saturday got off to a rocky start, but in the end, I think we all enjoyed ourselves. We started the morning off by running a few quick errands. On our way home, we stopped at the local Krispy Kreme and went to Carrier Park for breakfast. While at the park, Larry and the kids did a little exploring and I found this neat tree. Each kid was super excited to climb up and have their picture taken. Xander was the first. He had absolutely no fear and climbed up fairly high. He was much higher than any other child.

This is my favorite picture of little Larry. He just looks like such a man here. He is really good at posing for shots too. Can you tell I take hundreds of pictures of the kids because they instinctively know just how to pose.

We placed Ruby and Ethan up in the tree. Both of them wanted down as soon as they were up. Ethan said he was too high.

Here is my beautiful Savannah. She is growing so fast.

Ruby loved the tree once Daddy was in it with her. As a matter of fact,…
