Our 6th Anniversary!

Well, it's been an awesome six years!  To celebrate we went to dinner at Magleby's, Dan got crab and I got steak.  It was delicious!  We saw Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond movie.  It was action piz-acked!  

It's 11:30, where's your baby?

I hope the answer is, tucked in bed. But if you're this baby the answer is, sitting in front of the tv, watching baby einstein while munching on cheerios and juice. Jade has not been feeling that great over the past couple days, she has a runny nose which makes it hard for her to breath and she's teething (I swear that there are about 4 teeth coming in at once, it's wild!)
Sleep tight everyone.

Jade's First Xray

Jade and I had just finished up our errands on Saturday and were on our way home. Jade was fussy because she was sleepy so she was crying, but amidst the crying I heard a gagging sound. I looked back and she had her hair barrette in her hand, so I took it from her as I looked for the other one that had been in her hair, praying that she hadn't just choked it down. When we got home I did a more thorough search and couldn't see it anywhere so I called Dan and told him I thought Jade had swallowed her barrette. He called me back a little while later and told me to come by his work and we could have an xray done. So Jade had her first xray.
And if you look closely you can see the clip in the xray on the right hand side, just under the ribs. (At this point it was still in her stomach).
Here is a picture of the twin clip. As you can see it is mostly covered in cloth so that was definitely a bonus and also it had not opened up before she swallowed it, which was great too.
Luckily, she passed it the next day. Even though we picked up quite a collection of these cool clips in Hong Kong, they all are going in the trash. It's not worth the worry.

Halloween

Well, it's a bit late but I wanted to post pictures of Jade's first trick or treating experience. We were in Minnesota at the time, visiting Dan's aunt and uncle. We also had a ward trunk or treat that was a lot of fun and had a huge turnout, but unfortunately those pictures were deleted.
Originally Jade and I were both going to dress up as cats but I found this flower costume on sale at babies r us for only 5 dollars!

Dan's cousin Natalie, her son Ashton, Jade and her daughter Jasmine.Here's the whole gang on our way back to the house. Because Jade was in her stroller the whole time I felt sort of silly holding out her bucket for candy, I felt like I was trick or treating again. It was fun though, and the kids were so cute.

Fall Outing

While we were in Minnesota we took a trip to a local pumpkin patch/petting zoo with Dan's aunt and second cousins.  It was a very cute place.  Here is Jade riding her first tractor.

Hope everyone is enjoying the autumn weather because winter will be here before you know it!  p.s. it is officially ok (in my book) to start listening to christmas music now!  yay!
