Rick was taking some pics of the kids....minus Loni cause she was the photographer. Aren't they cute.

Video of Ada and her baby brother. She loves taking care of him. She would do it more and take over completely if I would let her and if she was able to feed him. She loves to give kisses to everyone now. Rick has also been working with her to say DADA. She is pretty good at it. Enjoy!

Rick gets an honorable discharge.

So today was the day we have been waiting for......Rick got an honorable discharge.
and then he was reenlisted for another 5 years.
Yep. We are in the navy for another 5 years. Can you believe Rick has been doing this for 5 years already? I can't. Ada just wanted him to hold her and throw her in the air the whole time we were there. It was pretty cute. She loves her Daddy. We all love him and are proud of him for all the sacrifices he makes to provide for our family. He has done a great job. He got to be sworn in again but you couldn't tell in my pics because I was looking straight on at his side. Another guy was taking photos and we will get copies of those and maybe I will repost some.

Christmas Party and Doctors

Friday night we went to our Church Christmas Party. It was quite fun. I took some homemade mashed potatoes and even a homemade Lemon Meringue Pie! Yes. You read that right. I made it from scratch, except for the crust. It was quite good too. Sorry no photos of it. I forgot to take one before it got all eaten up.....
So that special visitor came and well Ada didn't like him. She didn't stay next to him long enough to get a photo of her with him. So this is the best you get. See the red suit is in the photo.

Loni on the other hand was probably hanging out and talking to him for 10 minutes. I took a second to put Tyce on her lap for a photo. He didn't care whatsoever. We will see how he likes him next year. Oh and if you can tell how everyone has really rosy cheeks in all the pics it is because the temp in the place was like 90 degrees. We were all baking like it was summer. Poor Santa was dripping with sweat. I felt really bad for him in that suit. So that is the Christmas Party and now on to the Doctors part of my post.

Tyce has had a cold. Just a little runny nose. Then Friday he started coughing. Saturday morning he has a 102 fever so I took him to the doctor. That doctor wasn't a pediatrician so after 3 hours (about) being there they found out with a baby 6 weeks and under with a fever is supposed to go right to the ER. So Tyce and I were off to the ER to get some tests done. They put a IV cath into him and took some urine with a urinary cath. Fun, I know. Then we watched two movies, well almost. We were there about 3 hours as well, but all turned out good on his blood tests so we headed home. It was about 7 at night. We were sleepy. They told us we have to go tomorrow to his regular pediatrician to have a check up. Hopefully we can just call in and say he is fine and not go. I don't want to go. They usually keep us waiting and 1 1/2-2 hours later we finally get done. I have decided I don't like doctors. Sorry if you are a doctor. You come in handy sometimes but the waiting could kill us!
