Today J had a doctors appointment for his pea. It was been just shy of two weeks and it is still there! The doctor just told me to do the same thing with saline and time and to try and mash it out once in awhile. We have a follow up on the 10th to see how it's going.
On another note, our camera is having flash issues and is "in the shop" so there will be no pictures for awhile, sorry.

Snow!
Yes, you read right, snow! This morning we awoke to a wet yard, it had rained over night. As we drove to church this morning we noticed that most of the tall peaks of the mountains along the way had snow on them! YAY. Of course it was still about 72F (23C) at church this morning. There was a 20F difference between church on home though (we were much cooler here then there). I guess that it is fitting since we put up our Christmas Tree on Saturday.
Today is J's 2 1/2 year birthday. To celebrate we measured him on his Veggie Tales Growth Chart. He is now three feet two inches tall. He also has a doctors appointment tomorrow to check for the pea.
Yes, it's short but I had to share the sighting of the SNOW!

The Adventure of the Pea
It all began with J eating supper...well eating isn't really the right word I guess. I was cleaning up O's supper and E was reading something. The next thing I know J is coughing oddly. I come over and find him putting peas up his nose. Well, I stopped that right away and squeezed out two and could see a third still there. E got the tweezers and aspirator and after a lot of crying and fighting we were able to get #3 out only to find #4 too high for us to reach. So at 6 pm (on the 18th) we load everyone into the car and off to the base ER. We were able to get in right away and after another hour of looking and prodding, this time with out too much fuss for J, they were able to get #4 out only to find that #5 was way to high for them to even try to reach. We got home around 8 pm and were off again to the ER at 6 am the next morning hoping it worked it's way down and out. It didn't. It was higher up there still and we were referred to a ENT in La Quinta (1 1/2 hours away). We were able to get in the same day and drove down there around noon only to sit there for five minutes have him tell us there was nothing to do but wait and see. We stopped for lunch and back home again. J has a follow up appointment next week with his regular doctor so hopefully the pea is gone.
The worst case would be that it is still there and begins to rot. Then they will have to take it out one way or other...which would mean putting J under and digging for it. Lord willing it won't come to that and so far everything seams to be normal with him, that's a good sign at least.

A California Visit
My sister M and her fiance T came for a visit this past weekend. Here are a few pictures of their stay.
Auntie M and O on base playing at the play ground.
Uncle T and J on the slide...J thought it was so great having Uncle T around he wouldn't let Uncle T do too much with out him.
Daddy and J and the San Diego Zoo. Now that was a long day. Fun but a long day. It's a three hour drive and then three hours back with four hours of walking around in between!

News
I've lost weight!! YAY for me. I joined Weight Watchers not really expecting too much but I was wrong. In the last three weeks I have lost 8.6 pounds! I'm so excited. I don't see it, E says he does though. Again, YAY for me.
J did something today that he has never done before. We were watching a kiddie show where a cartoon kitten nearly fell into a rive from a piece of drift wood. J jumped up screaming and crying. He ran over to me, sat in my lap balling until the kitten the rescued. Then he laughed and pointed happily at the t.v. He then got down and resumed playing with an entirely different toy. Poor boy was so concerned for that poor kitten. It scared me at first, I thought he had hurt himself somehow! Such a sensitive soul. Awe...
I take the kids to base a couple of times a week to play at the play ground. The other day we were the only ones there for a while. Then I very pregnant lady and her son came. It was the first time since we've been here that I've seen J play with another kid. He has tried with others but they are playing with someone else, they are too old or too young or some other reason. It was so great to see him have that much fun with another kid his age. I didn't want to take him away when it was time to go. Thankfully they needed to leave too so we all left at the same time.
