First ER Visit



We had a scare this past weekend when Jeremiah twisted his elbow. With how much he runs into walls and smacks his head on things, we're surprised a simple twisted elbow was the first thing that landed him in the ER. However, with how much he was complaining about it (unlike him not to continue playing), we figured it was serious. The Urgent Care office, after not finding any answers, sent us to Dell Children's Hospital Emergency Room. Shawna and J spent over five hours doing X-Rays and trying to keep the little guy happy, but to no avail. We also missed the Reaves Christmas party during this time and were pretty bummed about losing out on one of our few chances to socialize with friends. Dell sent us home with a cast and referred us to an Ortho specialist for two days later. He took off the cast and popped it back into place (this was the fifth time this had been done, so we weren't optimistic). We were also a little panicked, knowing the big Christmas gifts coming down the pipe were a guitar and bike, two things that can't be used with one hand. However, perhaps the cast help it sit because this arm-popping took. Jeremiah, though having gotten used to not using his left arm, eventually came around and is now as good as new. The good news for us is that he is now afraid enough of the doctor that we can usually use that to threaten him when he exaggerates a pain.

Jeremiah's conversation with Daddy

This morning we were talking to Ben on a Webcam. We try to do it each day so that Jeremiah has some Daddy time.  This morning we were saying our goodbyes, the conversation went something like this...

Ben - Alright J I have to go, I love you
J - I love you
Ben - I will talk to you later
 J -  I will talk to you later
Ben - Have a good day
J - Have a good day
Ben - You're Handsome
J - Thank you!

Cleaning Baby...

This morning we were in the kitchen making Deviled Eggs (I forgot to make them for Thanksgiving yesterday).  When Jeremiah announced to me "mommy, I want to clean something" I must be doing something right.

Not Bad...

Tonight when I gave Jeremiah his dinner he very sweetly said "thank you mommy" took a bite and said "that's not so bad".  What is that saying about my cooking??? 


kidding me...

This afternoon after Jeremiah's nap we were putting his pants back on.  He wanted to do it himself and was having trouble getting the second leg into the second hole.  He muddled under his breath "you've got to be kidding me".  I think I say that way too often.

Halloween



 I can't believe another Halloween has passed.  Last year Jeremiah had the flu so this year was much better.  Shawna's parents were in town and we all had a great time going to carnivals, dressing up and trick or treating.  Jeremiah was a Doctor, Dr. Murrie AKA McCutie.  We stuck Davis in Jeremiah's old chicken costume; Jeremiah was nine months and Davis is only five (fat Baby).  Here are some more pics.

Pumpkin Patch


We went to the pumpkin patch on Friday with my parents.  The kids had a great time, we went on a hay ride, fed the goats, pet horses and picked our pumpkins.  For more pics click on pictures.

Pictures in the Kitchen



We let Jeremiah take some pics of us in the kitchen the other day and he did a better job than we do.

Family Yoga

This morning, before the Farmer's Market, Shawna and Jeremiah enjoyed some Family Yoga at Ruta Maya, a coffee shop on South Congress. Jeremiah calls it "exercises."
