Moments in time...

As a mother there are many moments good, bad, and indifferent that define who and what we are. Today, while I was driving to costco, I had one of those moments. Benjamin was making a strange noise, sorta like a "neah" sound I instantly knew that something was wrong, and luckily I was in a parking lot and able to pull over. He was totally blue, and not breathing, chocking on something ! Although I was freaking out, you'd never know it. At least the girls had no idea, they were whinning about their movie not being on.. Anyhow, remembering CPR for infants who are choking, I got him breathing, and than rushed him to the hospital. They did a series of tests, and an X-ray and determined that no harm done, and that he was fine. However, as we were walking out the doctor gave me a funny look, and asked me if there were any complications with ben when he was born. I told him that his right arm was up by his face, so he was sorta squished. He showed me the x-ray and pointed out a fracture on his clavicle that he probably got during birth. Honestly, Its a good thing this news was given to me today, and not two weeks ago. My hormones seem to be a little better right now, but I still feel terrible that he already has a broken bone, and I didn't even know. maybe thats why he was crying so hard at birth, and needed oxygen, or why he won't nurse on one side, or why he gets squirmy and cries when I change him..... What a day, I am just glad he made a noise or he might be dead right now, and this would be a very different post.

WHAT A CUTIE

I will admit that I wishI had some back drops so my apt is not in the picture oh well... benjamin is still really cute

As Requested.....

Artists at work...

Grandpa, and grandma played domino's with the girls, and during this specific moment they were creating a scenic landscape. They had already made a heart, and perhaps a few other things but at this moment they were making a tree, with leaves, grass and a white picket fence, as well as a sun. The girls couldn't wait to mess the picture up and start over again much to grandpa's disappointment, because he just want to look at the lovely creation for a minute or two.

Ready,set, GO!

Sierra and Grandpa Weaver were playing with a volleyball at our stoneridge retreat this year, and she would get a real serious look on her face, study the ball, kick of her feet, and ready her arms in a running position so that she could go as fast as she could. She looked as if her arms, and feet were moving really fast, and yet she wasn't.( it was funny) anyhow, when she caught the ball, she would slide on both knees. She was very proud of this new stunt.

Oh to be young,and free....

ran across this picture today, and couldn't help myself. These four lovely people are very special to us, and with a picture like this how could we not post it. These are some of our favorite langhans, sure some people might see this picture and think hum... blackmail.. but hey I will save you the trouble and post it right here for all to see... so proud am I of the college days.. when the only thing on my mind was kissing jesse, and making it to class.. (sure sure passing class was a concern as well)

sorry

i guess i shouldn't post stuff about work here....especially when i am mad....carry on

Loving You, baby.....

Sweet baby boy blue! My girl friend heather made me my third diaper cake, and it was perfectly cute.

My Other girlfriend Amy made that baby cake, wow so much talent in my group. This baby shower was so fun, and it was good to spend time with people I love celebrating the birth of our baby boy.

Love does not do justice what I feel about my baby. I wish I could explain the feeling a newborn brings, I love it!! Thanks everyone for coming and sharing some time with me and my baby.
