Trip to the zoo

A few weeks ago when we were having some great weather we all went to the zoo. It was a bit windy but we had lots of fun. All the animals where out and there werent very many people there.

The first time we have done the petting zoo part. Zoey was a little shy at first.

What we are truly thankful for.

Colds, teeth, and a few other things

Life here has been very full.

We have been sick with colds, Cyann had an ear infection and Noelle a sinus infection.

Noelle is teething again and it is terrible this time around. She is in lots of pain and I cant seem to find something to help it. I have tried a lot of different things but the one thing that does seem to help a little is vodka. (I put a little on my finger and then rub it on her gum where the tooth is coming in. It provides some relief to the hurt.)

I am excited about the holidays. I am though a little apprehensive about the Christmas tree this year. Noelle I am afraid will be the one to keep a sharp eye on this year. But we will see she always surprises me.

Just a little something to leave you with.

Does this make you nervous?

We have been busy. We had lots of family birthdays in September and in October so we had lots of fun with that.
We also just got back from a wonderful trip to South Carolina were we visited lots of family and old friends. Pictures of the trip will be posted soon.

Here are a few pictures of what we have been doing.

Noelle learning to drink out of a cup. She does not have it down yet but getting closer


Cyann loves to stick out her very pointy tongue.

I helped Noelle climb up to the top of the McDonald play area so she could slide down the slide. That is a work out let me tell you. But she loved it.

Zoey loves to help by feeding Cyann.

All three girls in the tub together.

a conversation with Jon over a dead moth



Zoey wants to know if she can eat a dead moth

[10:12:45 AM] that jon jackson @ crossty: hmmm. i guess it's not much different than eating other dead animals... has it been kept in the fridge?

[10:13:00 AM] danielle jackson: no it was on the floor

[10:13:25 AM] that jon jackson @ crossty: hmmm, well if she finds it in the fridge, i'd say yes.

[10:13:40 AM] danielle jackson: but if not no

[10:13:54 AM] that jon jackson @ crossty: probably not, it might be soured.

[10:14:30 AM] danielle jackson: she decided to go look in the frig for one

[10:14:38 AM] that jon jackson @ crossty: cool.

[10:14:50 AM] danielle jackson: oh there is just food in there

[10:14:58 AM] that jon jackson @ crossty: oh well.

[10:15:00 AM] danielle jackson: so now she is yelling at it to go away

[10:15:09 AM] that jon jackson @ crossty: ha ha.

[10:15:13 AM] danielle jackson: but it is not going

Update on Cyann

A few days ago I informed you all that I had started feeding Cyann carrots.

Well I have stopped that, to put it gently she cant digest them yet.

So we are just doing a little bit of cereal for now and will try the carrots again in a month.
