Happy Halloween!  Mommy will post more pictures after trick or treating tonight :)

October 30, 2012

Today was a fun-filled pre-Halloween day .  . . I showed my costume to Grandbob and Grandma before they went home after a fun weekend (you can't see those pictures until tomorrow!) . . . Mommy & Aunt Whitney took me, Bennett and Bisa to visit Nana & Bumpa (that's Bennett & Bisa's grandma and grandpa) we wore our costumes and were the hit of the law office (again, you can't see those pictures until tomorrow . . . I don't want to reveal my costume!  Finally, Daddy, Mommy and I carved a pumpkin . . . the insides were slimy and cold, but I still touched them . . . my favorite thing to do was take the top off the pumpkin and put it back on!

Such a good helper

Daddy, did that pumpkin just throw up in my mixing bowl???

Delicious!

Daddy is super silly

One last check to make sure the insides are clean

Here Daddy . . . you missed a seed

What's in here?

We have had an eventful few weeks . . . Peter spent three days in the hospital last weekend due to asthma-related issues . . . as a result, he now has a daily inhaled steroid that we will help him use . . . it seems to be helping thus far . . . Mac is Peter's favorite buddy these days . . . this smile is the first one we saw in three days!

This was the first night . . . poor little guy had a rough time . . . his breathing was quite labored.  We inhale oxygen that then moves to our blood stream to oxygenate our blood (a REALLY simple explanation for a much more complex process) . . . a normal person's oxygen saturation typically ranges between 95% and 100%.  Pete's "sats" were 71% when we got to the hospital.  This is a struggle he had as a newborn due to his immature lungs.  Unfortunately, it is a lasting result of his prematurity.   We (and his doctor) are hopeful that he will outgrow his "non-specific" asthma by the time he is school-aged.

Feeling a little better on Monday morning and ready to go home

As you can see, Peter's is back to being a little animal lover.  We went to Alpaca Fest on Saturday and got to learn all kinds of fun facts about them.

At the beginning of our vacation we went to Little Rock, AR to celebrate Great Gram's 90th birthday

I have lots of 3rd cousins . . . who knew?

This is John . . . he is awesome . . . we had fun times together . . . his head is fuzzy (that's an inside joke . . . if you were there, you know what I mean!)

The birthday girl and her youngest great grandchildren  (I can say that because Bisa is 3 days older than me!)

This is Anna . . . she is a great snuggler!

John and Anna and me . . .
