must have a title here...but what?

More pictures! Not a lot going on here really. Last week was Glasgow Communion and I was able to attend the Thursday evening service which was very nice. We had a couple of extremely frosty mornings earlier this week and the sun was accompanying!

NOTE, Today is November the 12th (It says I posted this on tuesday but that was a draft!) There are too many birthdays to keep track of. Today is my nephew Kenneth's birthday he will be 7 (I think), and tomorrow is my Oma's birthday, she was born Nov 13th, 1921 meaning she will be 88?! November 15th is adorable Jenna's birthday and she will be 3.

On one of those chilly frosty mornings Daddy took Aaron for a stroll (Monday probably) in what you see below although I did add socks :) he was cold when I got him back, but he was quite upset to being put back in the house.

The frost put on a spell of baking in the house...so I made some cookies. Here is my man with the cookies I brought him.

My cam doesn't take wonderful pictures...or else this would've caught something beautiful! I like how frost just touches the outer edge of things...kind of like putting lace on nature.

Same.

Haha...a texting-bottle-feeding-little-mama! No, I'm not texting and feeding very often!!

Ooh his smile is contagious!

And those blue eyes!

hmm, said cookies tho this should've been up a few pics!! Yes they were a bit flat, had to add a wee bit more flour, but I don't like majorly thick cookies.

Somehow he was able to reach the cookies and whilst I was busy doing something in the playroom I saw him walk in with a cookie...and then he came back with another one...and well I had to put a stop to it or else I would have a lot of cookies with only one bite in them and therefore this was the outcome... poor boy, he wasn't pleased he couldn't take anymore.

Still battling with Owen's eczema, but lately it has been more controllable. He still is itchy and scratches a lot but at least his face is less red. I'm putting cream on him constantly throughout the day. I kind of wish I could use some of that Honey cream Rach uses, but I fear it might somehow get ingested and he is too little to be having honey!

Anyways on to chores. The floors need a good vacuuming, and I need to wash the wall in the bathroom (mildew likes us), put up laundry and etc. Till next time! :)

more pictures/videos etc.

Well, I'm finally getting to something...maybe! Here is Amy's 3rd birthday or part of it. I don't think I'll be posting all the photos from our trip to Canada, it just is too much and time is short here with three littles around, and most of the photos are up on fb. Anyways, I need to get some more recent photos up, not that much is happening here though!



Amelia's 2nd birthday cake...very cute and special!

My sister and me.

Another update coming soon I hope.

The First Four Years...

On May 12th, 2005 we were married, which makes four years (yesterday). A lot has happened in just a few years...two children born, and one very soon to be born, two years of Jett's divinity course are completed...and the list of course could go on and on.

Oh dear...so, this was my first embarrassing moment with my new husband. :) Don't worry I was naive then, hopefully I've learned some by now, I mean I know I have learned some! If he actually followed through and dug the knife into the top cake...a shocking surprise would follow as the two top layers are styrofoam. :)

So, Jett also celebrated his 34th birthday on Monday the 11th. And no, we aren't sharing his birthday nor our anniversary with the new baby...and no he or she isn't born just yet.

And now I must go and try to get some things done. 39 weeks and counting... *sigh* why does the last part of pregnancy have to be soooo long? :)

Going very well!

I must tell you all, that it has been three days and counting since Amelia took a "real" seizure, there has been times where I was wondering if she had maybe a small one, but I think she might be finally her normal self again. And my, she is talking up a storm again! So very nice to see! I think it was yesterday she saw me scratching my eczema (ok...I know I'm not supposed to but it gets quite frustrating after so long of trying to get rid of it and then finally succumbing to scratching) and she right away said "No scratch!" You see, she has eczema too and therefore is told not to scratch...looks like I need to be a better example. Much to be thankful with regard to her seizures and how everything has gone. Was reading a evening devotion by Winslow on afflictions (November 3rd I think) and reasons why they come to the Lord's people, needless to say it was very good and quite applicable to our recent happenings.

Another note, I think we are about to go through another round of colds...third time in the past month and a half. Aaron has been having a fever for almost two days next to congestion. Thankfully ibuprofen works well, as does calpol (something like tylenol) but it does mean lots of restless nights with Aaron between us. But we love him, (of course we do!) if only you knew what it meant to see this little man smiling at you in the middle of the night when he is running a fever and supposed to be sleeping...it is quite priceless.

And for those of you who don't know it already, we're to have a visitor stay with us for some time. My brother (in law) Samuel is coming next week Tuesday already! I'm excited can you tell? :) Oh, and thats Aaron gone off to sleep. Good. Now if only Amy could get a wee nap, I could run to the store. :)

This isn't the picture of him sleeping, he is in his car seat just now (it is easier putting him to sleep that way than holding him). But I thought he looked very peaceful here.

And the only pictures I have of his 1st birthday cake...It looks nice I suppose, but the *writing* (not the actual icing on the cake) icing was gross....must been going out of date or something.

Can you tell he was happy? Amelia sure was! Every C-A-K-E is a Birthday cake to her!

Ah, and thats Amy sleeping now too! Just means my shopping time will be cut in half if not more. :) Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Happy 1st Birthday Aaron! (and a update)

We are finally home! After a long week of hospital, doctor visits, tests and etc we have finally arrived safely to this large house in Northton. I was so glad we only had to be in hospital for two nights rather than the whole week! A huge thank you to all our friends that have helped to make this time easier for us, and many thanks to the Macleod's who housed and fed us during this time.

Yesterday was our son's first birthday, unfortunately we couldn't really celebrate it due to the circumstances, yet Mrs. Macleod had a gift wrapped and ready to give him that morning! It was very sweet of her to think of it, and both Amy and Aaron enjoy those blocks very much! I suppose I'll just have to make my birthday a joint celebration ;).

Amy is still to have further tests done on Feb 24th. One is the MRI scan, where they will have to put her under, and the second test is for some kind of food disorder...well, the second is a bit more difficult to explain hopefully I'll get the proper name for it on the 24th. She is also still having seizures and quite regularly throughout the day (usually just before naptimes and bedtimes) this isn't including the seizures she has throughout the night which I have no idea how many there are. She is a complex case, as she has two types of seizures one is when she goes into a trance like mode in which she stares into space and usually doesn't respond to our commands or voices, the other is when she gets all stiff and shakes quite a bit...I can't say I'm getting used to seeing them, but I have to accept them as part of this whole disorder (if epilepsy is a disorder?) I do admit to handling them better as I understand more about epilepsy, though it is still hard to take not to mention being pregnant and handling it all at the same time!

Another note, as someone mentioned glue ear causing fits in her little one, which made me have to ask the doctor again that we DID rule out infections that could cause seizures, and of course he was able to explain that 1. Such and such test ruled out the infections, and 2. The evidence is so much to prove that it is epilepsy (well that is basically what he said although he said it in great detail much to my satisfaction!) I really didn't think it was glue ear (an ear infection) as Amelia has never had problems when having it, she also didn't show a temperature throughout this whole thing until the second night in hospital and that was because she was getting a BAD cold (yes we all have them now) and has been fine with regards to temp now.

Anyways, I'm tired and it is only 9:14! Hopefully I can try to get Amelia into bed (which has now been put on the floor incase she has a seizure and falls out of bed) soon and Aaron following.
