He's Home!

Norm came home last night!! YAY! I know he's glad to be out of the hospital. He was about to go stir crazy!

Hospital Trips

Well, it all starts Wednesday.

Norm started having chest pains at school, sugar level sky high, arm tingling some. They called 911 and the ambulance took him to the hospital... they treated him, kept him there. They ruled out heart attack. Found out he has a hyadial hernia (sp?), h-pylori stomach virus, stomach/esophogus lining gone from reflux. He ran a fever Thursday night, coughing a little Friday, discharge him Friday at 4pm, we get home around 5pm, he starts feeling cold - running a 102 temp around 7pm. Takes 3 extra strength tylenol - no help. Still has a fever at 8. The doc on call says come back to the ER. Guess what - PNEUMONIA!! Yep! So, he BACK in the hospital. He's doing better. Hopefully will get to come home soon!!!

Animoto - Fall 2008

I was just playing with animoto and some of the fall pics. I thought I had petting zoo pics in there, but I guess not. ENJOY!

Photo Challenge - SOOC

SOOC = Straight Out Of the Camera... no edits, no crops, no color fixing, nada, nothing... WYSIWYG... what you see is what you get. Here are mine. Yes, they look familiar if you've seen my recent entries of Emily's field trip to the petting zoo and the ones of her in the cotton patch .

SOOC! Here is my fav and my entry in the challenge.
In case you've never seen cotton, here you go... cotton, right in the field, up close and personal!


Is it a winner??? I hope so!!!

Here are others just for the fun of it! All SOOC!

Cotton-Eyed Emily

I think I'm going to have to make it a ritual... pics in a cotton patch. Emily loves playing with the cotton and I love the pics.
Here are some shots from today.

Look at my DEERE Daughter

Look! MORE PICS! :) Three posts in one day and all pics!

Ok, so it isn't our John Deere tractor. Our landlord left it outback. Photo opp calling!









THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!

PHOTO CHALLENGE - Colors/Colours of Nature

Here are my shots! As usual, I can't pick a favorite so I'll have to let Wendy and Helen pick!















And look! A sneak peak of flowers! I found this one hiding in the hedges!

T & N Acres Field Trip

Emily's class went on a field trip to T & N Acres. They got to feed and pet animals, ride a wagon to a hay maze and pick a pumpkin, ride a pony and stuff their own scarecrow! Here are a LOT of pics from the trip!








No, she didn't get to pet or feed the snake. :)

PHOTO CHALLENGE - Portraits

This is NOT my strong point. Went into my archives for this one. This week and weekend was busy with a birthday party (see the post below this one) and I'm sick, too. Here's what I've got. I hope I'm not too late.

Aspen's One Year Old!

Aspen is Emily's baby cousin. She turned one. These pics are from the party Saturday. This gave me a chance to play with the manual settings on my camera. I took over 100 shots. Most were smash the cake shots. Some turned out grainy. Thanks to Noiseware for clearing up that problem!

The Birthday Girl!


Grammy and the Grandkids... Ryan, Aspen & Emily


The Cake



Smashing the Cake!
