Dr. Harris at work

I caught Nate in the act of working. I know it has been a long time sense anyone has seen him work. So here is the proof. Dr. Harris does work. The rest of the time he is golfing or thinking about golfing. Life with a dentist is great. We are now reaping the rewards of all his hard work.

The kids and I can not get enough of him. They just love going to his office to get the toys. Brady still will not let dad clean his teeth at the office.

So Happy to go home

The nurse and I tried to get his shirt on, but we could not get his arm up high enough or his head down low enough. So we decided that shirtless was a good look for him. The nurse told him that the blood pressure cuff measured how big your muscles are, so after he told me that his muscle got bigger.All of the nurses just loved him and wanted to keep him. He was so good. The only problem we had was when he went in for surgery and they wanted to take his underwear off. Brady was so upset that the doctor said that they will leave them on until the put him to sleep. Then they put them back on before he woke up. A good thing he had on clean underwear.







What a trooper. Braden was so good for the nurses and doctors, that I could not beleive that he was my kid. He is more affraid of Dad cleaning his teeth than he was of geting a IV put in. He held so still for his X-ray's. Brady really like his nurse. Her name was Nurse Jenny, just like his Aunt Nurse Jenny. She was in love with Brady. The next day after surgery he asked were his Nurse Jenny was, and said that she was cute and nice.









Brady was talking to Papa Phil. When we asked him if he wanted to talk to Papa Ray he said no, because he did not want him to cry like Papa Phil. What a sweet boy.

Poor Brady is in the Hospital again.

WOW.....what a day we had yesterday. Brady and Jossi were at the neighbors play on there swing set, and I was in side trying to get Cooper to take a nap. Raynbow called and said that Brady fell off the glider, and Brady is still crying so I when over to get him. I brought him home and when I look at his arm I knew right then that something was very wrong. So I called Raynbow to have watch Jossi while I took him to the doctor. I packed Cooper and Brady in the car and called my friend Jocelyn to see if her husband was home and if he would look at Brady's arm. She thought that I was joking and trying to get her back for April fool's. I told her I was not joking at all, and that I would be at her house in 2 minutes. By the time I drove less than 5 minutes, Brady's elbow had doubled in size. Tom came out and looked and we both agreed that it was broken. So they took Cooper for me and away we went to the Hospital. I called Nate at the office and told the receptionist to tell Nate that I am taking Brady to the hospital and to have Nate meet me there when he was done with his last patient. So when I got to the hospital valet was closed, but the nice guy went and parked my car for me and brought me my keys. That was a relieve, because after I gave him my keys. I started to wounder if that was the valet guy i just gave my keys to. I was so relieved when he brought my keys to me. Soo.. to make and even longer story short. Brady had to stay over night so that they can do surgery today to put pins in. I did not get home from the hospital until 11:30 last night and I have been up sense 5am, because I can't sleep. I am so worried about his surgery and about my other kids being scattered all over the place. I know Jossi will be fine, but Cooper is the one that I worry about because he will not take a bottle.
I have to get going now so I can get Cooper and Jossi were they need to go, and so that I can get back to Brady before he goes in for surgery at 8am. I will keep you all posted on what is going on and I will get some picture of him to post.
I have always told Nate it will be a miracle if Brady makes it to his 5th birthday with out any broken bone. Mothers intuition.

Pregnant........April Fools

I did the best APRIL FOOLS joke on Nate. I don't get into that much, but my friend JOCELYN HARRIS (how funny is that, that one of my good friends that I meet here in Ohio has the same name as my daughter. Anyways that is a story for another day). Called me on April fools day crying and asked me to run over to her house and get 2 of her kids, because the oldest one fell off the monkey bars and is bleeding really bad and she needs to take her to the ER. So I told her I would be right there. I got off the phone with her and stared telling the kids to hurry up, but as always they were not moving fast enough. So I stared yelling at them to hurry because Sequoia is hurt and we need to go help Jocelyn. So to make a long story short. I had Braden in one arm and Cooper in the other and Joslynn starting to cry because she was scared. Then the phone rang. I grabbed it as I was running out the door and it was Jocelynn on the phone laughing. I could not believe that I fell for that one. So of course I had to pay it forward. My Friend Kristi came over and she did me the kind favor of peeing on the stick for me, and yes she if pregnant. Nate called on his way home and was wanting to know what was wrong, why I sounded so somber. So I told him I would talk when he gets home. Nate then asked is everything okay you sound like some one died. When he walked in the door I showed him the pregnancy test, and he about died. He asked how in the @#$% did that happen, and what in the @#$% are we going to do. After a few more choice words I could not keep a straight face any more. Nate could not believe that he fell for it. I loved it. That was my best trick ever. I was so proud of my work. I could not have pulled it off with out the help of my good friend Kristi. I wish would have got a picture of his face.
