Backpost: Random pictures

Some little things we've been up to:
We finally got the kids into the office to get NUCCA corrections recently, and they did great! We already had x-rays on them from when Jeremy took them to a NUCCA doctor out in Iowa last year, but neither of them had been checked or adjusted since we were in Provo, I think! Katy had been having a really rough time with her teething, and colds and stuff, so Jeremy and Allen (the senior associate where he works) took on the exciting job of getting a set of x-rays for her. It was fairly entertaining, and took a while, but they managed it. And then she was remarkably still for her correction, and didn't even cry. It was a small miracle, with how much she DOESN'T like to be restrained in any way, or compelled to do anything that isn't her idea. We didn't get any pictures of all that, because it was taking all of our energy and concentration. :) Here are some pics of the other two though.

We managed to grab an HP TouchPad at the "fire sale" they had when the discontinued them recently, and we are now a two-tablet family. This is kind of nice when my computer is being especially difficult and freezing a lot. Some days it does that. It is also great to have for Katy to watch something on if we have a long car trip (she's still rear-facing and can't see the DVD player) and it's nice for entertaining if things get dicey at appointments or something. :) It's not nearly as nice as Jeremy's iPad, and doesn't have a lot of apps available, but it's a nice little browser/music/video player!

While Jeremy was gone to his NUCCA Conference we did really well the first few days. Here is a picture of us making mini pizzas one night! And the next one is our cute munchkins right before we took Jaina to dance class that same day. She's still really enjoying that!

Jaina and Reilly have recently started unloading the dishwasher (as well as some other chores) and it's nice to have some help around here! (Even if Reilly sometimes creates some leaning towers with his creative stacking while Jaina does the silverware...)

We WERE doing well with Jeremy gone until Katy got sick. I know "they" say you can't run a high fever with teething, but I don't know. Maybe Katy's defenses get low when she starts teething, and she picks up viruses too, because this is the third time she's gotten flu-like symptoms with a high (over 102º) fever while cutting teeth. She now has 3.5 molars and is working on at least one canine. It was a pretty rough couple of days trying to do it all myself though. She was miserable, and when I took her temperature at one point, she had 104.3º! Poor baby. Thankfully a bath brought it down quickly and some motrin that night helped keep it down, because I just didn't feel comfortable dealing with temps that high while single-parenting it. We don't get worked up about fevers, but that one was a little much for me in that situation. Thankfully a few days after Jeremy got home she was feeling better and he helped me get caught up on my sleep! We were glad he got to enjoy his conference, but we were REALLY glad to have him back!

A bunch of the LDS NUCCA guys at the Conference. Some doctors, and
some still in school!

They sure love their daddy!!
