Red Cross

I think we need a big red cross on our house. Tim's lung turned out to be 20% collapsed and it was too much for just forced oxygen to fix. So Wednesday afternoon we went to the ER and the doctors put in a chest tube and admitted Tim. We visited him Thursday morning and he was really out of it, but had a miraculous recovery about the time he got a CAT scan and he was discharged Thursday afternoon. He can't lift more than 25 pounds or fly for 2 weeks. I guess it's a good thing we decided to stay here for Christmas.
Friday morning we woke up to Luella vomiting. She got the viral bug going around. We took her to the clinic and said she was on the brink of a trip to the ER for an IV, or getting better. Luckily she only vomited once more after that and really picked up. She had 10 hours of being really sick. Crazily, Luella gained an inch in height in three months since her two-year check up. She's now 37" tall!
So Saturday night Kyla got Luella's bug. She got it at both ends. Two this morning was Kyla's last time being sick. We've all spent the day napping. Let's pray that Katja and Tim don't get the bug.

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Image
Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
