WAIT!!!

The word of the day today is WAIT. I am so incredibly proud of Eddie for his behavior today when you consider all the waiting the poor 2 yr old survived. We took Alan to school bright and early. Then it was off to the Dodge dealership to get the ABS checked out on the van. They said the diagnostic would take 1hr-1:15 Max. Well 2 hrs later they came to tell me a sensor needed to be replaced and it would only take 45min -1hr max. You can about guess how long that took. The kicker was that Joey had his 6 month check up at the base at 1pm and if you are late they contact Daddy's commander!!! We ended up spending over 4 hrs in the waiting area and for a 2 yr old Eddie did a great job!! I forgot to blog about the fact that we have been in potty training for the last 2.5 weeks and he seemed to enjoy getting me to take him to go potty then tell me it wasn't working. He has mastered STANDING at the toilet to pee and won't have anything to do with the potty chair. We have even worn underpants to bed and woke up dry!!! Now if only he would agree to sit down for #2. I was not wanting to deal with that today so of course anytime he looked like he might have to go we tried. One time I sat him down and turned my back for one second to check on Joey and Eddie actually fell in the toilet and got his shirt wet. This was about 10min after arriving at the dealership. Well I, of course, have clean underpants and sweatpants, BUT no shirts!!! He was very upset that his shirt was wet, especially since it was a Wiggles shirt. Another time he was sitting and didn't do #2,but ended up forgetting to aim down and sprayed his pants. We changed and then I prayed as I had no other clothes if he had a real accident.

We left the dealership with less than enough time to get to the base so I was stressed to say the least. I really ran out of patience when we had to stop and wait for a non-existant train!!! I called Daniel and totally let him know I just needed to vent so I wouldn't blow up at the doc appointment. I let off a bunch of steam and we made it to the base just in time. Again Eddie was great at waiting!!

Joey is the same size Alan was at 1yr!! He was just under 28 inches long and weighed in at a wopping 18lbs 8oz. It's so incredibly sad to be getting the tubs of 12 month and 18 month clothes out already.

After running through a fast food drive through we were home for less than an hour to eat lunch when it was time to get Alan so we could go to his speech appointment. For Eddie this meant yet another waiting room to endure!!! He has a crush on Miss Erica so this was a very long 30min as he wanted to go back with Alan. I am so glad to have arrangements made to stamp with a new friend tomorrow and there is NO place I have to go tomorrow!!!!

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town

Well, I'm not sure what made me think I could sew. . . I thought sewing a santa suit wouldn't be too difficult if it was part of a "kit". The base playgroup was doing some Christmas pictures of the kids and I thought I could get the suit done in time to have Daniel take an early lunch and show up as Santa. Well this "kit" had very confusing directions. They may as well have been written in Japanese!!! After spending an entire 3hr naptime studying and attempting to cut out the pieces I was beyond frustrated and ready to cry. I ended up using my resources and sending out a very desperate email to EVERY email address I had for people that lived near me (there are some playgroup lists with emails of people I don't even know). Within 30 minutes a friend, Erin, from my MOPS group responded so I called her and she was able to help me figure out how to cut the pieces out correctly!!! Ok so the pieces are cut out, know what do I do!?! Well. yesterday I r...

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein...

Plumbing Plunders

Well this may get a little long winded as our plumbing problems have been on going for a long time. For those of you who don't know we built a brand new house and moved in April 14th, 2006 so it's less than a year old. This past summer I noticed that our toilets and sinks gurgled often and in August I called the builder to send the plumbers out under our 1yr warranty to check it out. They came and basically made me feel like I was hallucinating. They said they cleaned the lines and there wasn't anything suspicious so if they gurgled again to give them a call and they would come back out, but if they were REALLY gurgling the problem would mean tearing into our foundation and we wouldn't want that now would we. No, I didn't want that so when they started gurgling again in the fall I just ignored it as the plumber said it wasn't really an issue. Well in February 2007 it could no longer be ignored as sewage started coming up the drains in our shower and bathtub...
