" What dat in you pants Daddy?"

I don't think that this statement requires any explanation. It had me laughing hysterically !! What is funny is that none of the other kids has ever made this "discovery".

Outside Fun

We bought this outside play/slide contraption for the girls from my neighbor's garage sale. After a bit of fixing up - it was good. They love to play outside on the slides and climbing up and down is sure to result in a broken arm for someone soon. As much fun as the plaything is a tall pot -- will do fine too. 

Isn't this the coolest looking picture ?? You can do really neat things to your photos without changing the original if you use photobucket.

I saw the doctor yesterday and got to see the little peanut on the ultrasound. We are not as far along as we thought (only 7 weeks not 9), but the baby is where it is supposed to be and everything looks ok.  They are treating this baby has high risk and we will be having a level 2 ultrasound at Winnie Palmer Hospital (children's hopsital) in late January. 

 For those of you that don't know, Riley has been complaining of headaches for some time now. When they finally started waking her at night - I took her to  the doctor - we were never sure if her head actually hurt or not since many times she would tell us after being told to do something. We went through an MRI and an echocardiogram. The MRI revealed nothing unusual, but the echo showed she has an innocent heart murmur (no biggie) and her aorta is more narrow then it should be. The doctor said that if the aorta grows with her then there is nothing to worry about but if it does not then we will have to consider other options. We won't know anything until sometime next year when we have another echo, so I put it out of my mind. 

I learned from the OB that Riley's heart is considered a congenital defect so, they want to take a closer look at this baby to make sure that development is normal.  I feel good overall - just regular nausea and fatigue.

Halloween Fun

We enjoyed a Harvest Festival instead of trick or treat this Halloween. Here are some photos of the fun.

The girls had their faces painted and got some funny balloon animals.

Emma had a great time picking up things that other kids dropped. Every abandoned balloon was left for her !

Tara  made crafts. She loves to make things.

Rori's teddy bear is a door prize that she won.
