Is it possible to get in touch with us? No, I might say...except email for now. We in the course of a week have lost a phone my phone (and to no avail have not found it, St. Anthony pray for us!) and possibly toasted Jeremy's as he jumped into the pool today with it in his pocket. :)
The happy side to this story is that we were actually looking at new phones as our contract is up with Sprint. We will have new numbers soon and will let you know when we can get in touch with the rest of the world. Maybe try those old tin can phones.
I told myself I wanted a boys. Well so far, that is what God has blessed our family with. If it's not jumping off of something, it's climbing on something (really high), or wrestling with Dad, or laughing at farts, or spitting of the balcony, ect. I'm not complaining...I want him to be a true boy, and typical he is! The first time I saw Simeon walk off a 5ft. playtoy at the park (into his Daddy's arms of course) and shriek with delight, I knew we would have medical bills someday with that child. Well that day has come.
This weekend we were doing a MP event (Mission Partners for FOCUS), and Simeon went with 6 other kids to the park with great excitement of course. We got a call in the middle of the presentation saying that they were on the way home, and that Simeon had had an accident at the park. Our babysitter assured us that he was okay, but that he might have chipped his tooth.
He got home, and acted fine, and of course first thing wanted food. This is good I thought, he isn't too traumatized from his fall at the park. Well, I decided to hoist him up and take a look for myself...there had been blood after all. Yup, his tooth is newly chipped (originally chipped a long time ago), and I think I see a crack but I am not sure. Jeremy takes a quick glance and tries to reassure me that it's not cracked, just chipped.
Well over the next couple of days, Simeon comments that he has ouchies in his mouth, but then acts fine, and continues on with his typical boy activities. After doing some research, we decide to take him to a pediatric dentist who gives discounts to St. Mary's staff that came from a recommendation of a friend.
The dentist takes a quick look at his tooth, and lets us know that Simeon has done "quite a number on his front tooth." Then proceeds to let us know that we have two options:
A root canal with a crown, that could land him in the hospital if it doesn't go well. It also isn't highly successful, becuase his nerve is exposed, and in the end he could still lose his tooth.
We could pull the tooth out...it is after all just a baby tooth.
Looking at each other, and thinking about our little boy, I inform the doctor, "He will just have to be our little hillbilly till age 7!"
The front left tooth is the one that was removed today. If you look closely you can see where he cracked it. Pictures to come. He did really well, but knows that something is different, becuase he is keeping his mouth closed, feeling his new whole in his mouth with his tongue.
apologize that it has been so long. I guess the time has just gotten away from us. But to give you an update, there has been lots of changes. Especially with Joe. He is now 7 1/2 months, and is:
Eating solids! I went to work one day and came home to my babysitter informing me that he drank 18 ounces of milk. To say the least we started solids the next day! :) He has taken to then really well, and especially loves bananas
Is trying to crawl, and trying to stand up
Is just so content. He will play on the floor for hours especially if Dad has new magazines that he can tear the pages out of.
Ever since Joe was little, the person he has reacted the most to is Simeon. He smiles big for Mama, and will giggle every now and then, but for some reason the person he thinks is the funniest is Simeon. Check out the squeals Simeon is getting out of him! Priceless...
Simeon, you have to stop. I can't hardly breathe!
Brother I meant it... This guy thinks I am a riot!
