Photography

So I've been study Photography a bit more seriously the last little bit and I've put up some pictures to see what you think.































Thanksgiving 2011

I managed to have two Thanksgiving dinners and take no pictures. Sorry!
We had Thanksgiving this year at our home. Paul's parents came over. Paul cooked the most amazing turkey I have ever, ever, ever had. Wow! So yummmmmmy!
Then on Saturday we head down in Central to have the Meanea Thanksgiving. Wow, how many people get to have two turkey dinners?
Trey's not complaining about that. :)

Trey and Dr. Smith

Trey has added another doctor to his arsenal. Dr. Smith is an orthopedic doctor and specializes in spines.
The day before Thanksgiving we went to the first appointment to see what his take was on Trey's back. He will most likely need spine surgery in the future but he needs to be as old as possible. The curve in his back is still real soft which means we can get it straight still. And that is a good thing. So we keep up with his exercises and therapies and get him as old as possible before the spine starts causing other problems.
We will see Dr. Smith in a year.

Brett - Star of the Week

On November 21 Paul and I got to go into Brett's Kindergarten class and talk about Brett. Brett and I worked on a poster all about him the week before and we took the poster to the class so they could see his likes and dislikes and other information about Brett.
Paul and I talked about Brett for a couple of minutes and then Brett got to answer questions from the class.
I love stuff like this, it is so much fun!

Pediatric Dentist

I love the dentist that works with my children, especially Trey! He has an amazing staff and they know their stuff.
My kids just had another check up on November 14. No cavities but we definately need to do better at flossing.
Trey's teeth are good at the moment. Still has enamel even though he grinds. He is a bit late loosing baby teeth but then he was late getting them in the first place. With him being born premature there are going to be teeth problems but we will deal with that when necessary. For now he is good.
Brett in May had to have 5 teeth pulled at once. One of those teeth was an extra tooth that didn't need to be there and was starting to cause problems. So his two top front teeth, then the tooth to each side of the front teeth came out. He was so brave! Then just weeks after that his two bottom front teeth fell out. In fact, one of the permanent teeth had already come through behind the baby tooth. So we had to get it loosened up fast and out of there. Then he gently worked the permanent tooth into position with his tongue. All of that before he was 6 yrs old.
So at this appointment he had a full panoramic xray taken. When the dentist showed us what was there and not there we knew immediately that our friendly neighbor orthodontist would be seeing Brett in the future. He does not have enough room in his mouth for all his permanant teeth!
Ellie's teeth are beautiful and great. No problems there.
So our dentist's office takes pictures of the kids that don't have cavities. And every six months when you go in for an appointment you get to take home the previous picture. I love this, I love to see how the kids have changed and grown even in six months!
