Three years ago today, Trevor had his first bottle feeding! And the day before that, was his first day with just oxygen through the nasal cannula. It's pretty cool to see how far he's come. He's capable of injuring people now. This morning, I knew the moment he woke up screaming (I think about a toy being in the wrong place) that it was not going to be a good morning. I spent most of my time trying to get Netflix on the tv upstairs to work. That didn't happen due to a "necessary" update. Trevor didn't want to go down stairs to watch it, so we were forced to wait and cry. Then I decided that I should use this time to get him dressed. Well, he knows that when he gets clothes on that he's going somewhere. So, he started yelling that he wanted to watch Barney Firetrucks and it wasn't time to go! Amazingly enough, Jack slept through all the yelling. Netflix finally started five minutes before we needed to leave. It was a fight to get the new pull up, pants and shirt on. Somewhere between that and fighting to strap him into his car seat (we probably woke up a few neighbors) I think I hurt my shoulder. I realized it about midday.
Here's hoping that tomorrow will be better.

Here's a picture of him and Jack at his daycare Halloween carnival. These were last minute costumes I pulled out of the garage. It was just a coincidence that the blue overalls Jack wore two years ago fit Trevor perfectly. (When Jack wore them, they were too small, but we made up for it with blue socks) We are working on Jack's "real" costume. Or I should say, I am, since he's not helping much.

Since Jack wasn't "feeling well" last Wednesday, we had to stay home from school. We hopped in the car with Mary (Suzy's mom) bright and early (kind of) and headed out to Weimar. For the last few weekends, her and Fred had made several trips there creating a memory garden for Suzy. They had some pretty interesting stories to tell of the adventures they had. After all their hard work, it looks AMAZING. It's the "Best Memory Garden Ever." (right, Fred?!)  Several of her aunts, uncles, and cousins showed up (a few even came from San Antonio). It was good to see them again. Her family members are great people! So after we ooed and aahhed at it and played outside a bit, we gathered around to remember her and sing a few songs for her (including Happy Birthday).  Her cousin led the dedication ceremony and even made us all a special token to remember the day and Suzy. Afterwards, we enjoyed lunch at a small bakery and rode home with Morgan and Bear. At Mary's house, Morgan chased Jack around until he whined that he didn't feel good. We had to go home and rest. (I think he was tired of getting beat up by Morgan). All in all, her birthday was a great day and I'm so glad to have spent it with the ones she loved the most!

Each side is dedicated to Suzy, Fred, John, and Courtney with the kids listed also
