The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 10

Here are the pictures from yesterday that I promised. These are from the 4th of July/Old Home Days parade:
Nick carrying the American Flag

Hunter Marching along (he's in the blue uniform not the silly hat)

Colby on his motorcycle accompanied by Chris

I got bumped out of my dial up 5 times while trying to post these. The last 3 days my dialup has been horrible!!! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing seems to help. I wish that we'd get a good DSL around here.

Deb

love these pics, thank you for sharing

Here are some pictures from Japan. The one thing the girls said was the most difficult was not being able to order without pointing or be able to understand what anyone was saying around them. Can you tell what these restaurants are?

This machine sells both hot & cold drinks.

Most places have pictures of the food and drinks and it should have helped a bit. Even with the verbal communication problem I bet they had a blast.

 

[kc10family]

Put me down as a possiblity, please.

yes ma'am.

I thnk I got everyone who has asked or said they are interested.

[kc10family]

yep I can

I know I will miss a lot of people if I try and post individually so here's some hugs for everybody.

I've had a pretty crappy start to my vacation and without going into many details I need some major pixie dust this way so that we can go to Washington next week. It's totally my own idiocy but I would sure appreciate it thanks.

You got it! I'm sorry that you are having a bad start to the vacation! Here's hoping it will turn around soon!

We love the Monte Cristo. They still have it. The New Orleans Cafe has the Monte Cristo as well as a three cheese version.

Good to know!!!!!

Paula - are you anywhere close to Wheatland, CA?

an hour plus but not more than 2 hr I think. Why?

I just made ressies for us and my parents to go to Niagara Falls for 2 nights the first week of August. I got a family suite w/ 2 bedrooms. My kids are going to love the falls. I have been showing Nicholas pictures from online and he thinks it is so cool. I think we will also go to Marineland one day while we are up there. I used to love Seaworld when I was little, but since the one in OH is gone, I don't know if we will ever get there. Thanks for your help on this Chanon!

an hour plus but not more than 2 hr I think. Why?

My cousin and her family lives there! Her dad is out there too somewhere, and he is a retired AF Col.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Tammi - that sounds like so much fun!!!

I know you guys will have a great time!!!

 

[Glynis]

Good morning everyone!

Would I sound redundant if I said things were crazy around here?!! As I was telling Jennifer yesterday, at this point, I am so anxious for Matthew to get here, because there's no way I'm going to get all I want to do done before he does (she claimed that made sense, but I'm doubting my sanity at this point! )

Last night we went to Babies-R-Us and bought our double stroller. Thank you so much for your generosity! We will think of you all, every time we open and close that monstrosity!

I have no idea where our camera cords or card reader are, but my sister was kind enough to email me a few pictures from the last day of swimming lessons. Alyssa actually looks a little content, though there was still a lot of whining and crying going on. Do you like where she stuck her duck?!!

We have a new refrigerator being delivered today and my mom is arriving tonight. I have several DDA phone numbers plugged into my cell phone, but no fighting over who gets to post Matthew's arrival first!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Amy

Amy, you and Matthew will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow! I just know that everything is going to be just fine! I bet you can't wait to meet him! Just think, it won't be long now, and you'll be cuddling your own little Squirt!

Well it’s been a rather wild and crazy few days.

First every time I get on to read or post….. either Vicki or Christi is pm’ing me. So if you are looking for a reply to a post, I would love to, but I can’t get Vicki or Christi to stop talking to me via pm. (just kidding, I love the pm’s ladies)



So the other day Bethie and Ellie were playing and Bethie dislocated her elbow. We didn’t know it at the time because she didn’t tell us where it hurt. Yes I know she is only 2 ¾ , but she does talk well. We took her to the ER after not being able to figure out why she was still crying. They x-rayed her arm and then the Dr. messed with it and POP, it went back into place, the Dr handed her a pencil and she was back to normal. We gave her motrin later that day for the light pain, but that was it. I guess it is very common in kids under 4 to have this happen. It’s called nursemaid’s elbow.



Tonight we get a call that my SIL is coming out from MI for her last few months of life. The Dr have told her in the past she has between 2 weeks and 2 years to live. Well as of today they are giving her no more than a few months. The cancer has just taken off like a rocket and is all over her now. We are making plans to visit my MIL a lot these next few months because that is where my SIL will be staying. This news totally sucks, but we knew it was coming, it is just a little to fast for everyone. Then again learning someone is going to die soon is always to fast.



SO here is my warning to you, if I drop off the face of the DDA for a while do not worry I am likely up at my MIL’s and will contact one of you to let you know why I cam gone. I will do my best to post that I am leaving, but again I don’t want to get in trouble like Glynis did, so this is my warning of short notice leaving.



Now back to our regularly scheduled reading and posting.

My son had nursemaids elbow until he was about 6-7 years old. It does get less frequent the older they get. My doctor showed me the technique to snap it back into place so we could just do it at home. This was after two trips to the emergency room. His Sunday School teacher snapped it out once and let him set and cry for over an hour until I got there and then she said he was just being a spoiled child and should not always get his way. ARRRG. Needless to say he did not go back to Sunday School as long as she was the teacher. I don't know it your doctor mentioned it but any type of twisting motion of the arm can cause it to pop out or swinging from the monkey bars. Good luck with this.

Sorry to hear about you SIL.

Just got off the phone with my, all the doctors know is that it was a bacterial infection. The electrocardiogram and the blood work were clear. She had a cat scan earlier today, but they want to do another, the nurse told her probably because the first one was fuzzy.

So long as she doesn't run a fever anytime between now and tomorrow morning, she can go home tomorrow.

 

[kc10family]

Thanks a lot. But Mooooom it really wasn't my fault.

much more fun to blame you, thanks for taking the hit this round.

 

[Tammi67]

Tammi - that sounds like so much fun!!!

I know you guys will have a great time!!!

I know! I can't wait! I've never been there either.
