Happy Birthday DAD/PAPA!!!!

Happy **rd Birthday DAD/PAPA!!! Dad's birthday was yesterday but didn't arrive until today for Thanksgiving tomorrow! We had dinner and the best part.....CAKE!!!

I thinks we blew out and re-lit this candle about a hundred times! The kids love blowing out candles....I should have put all 5o some candles on and they would have been blowing for a LONG time!!

Organized Ciaos!!!

Usually we take a "family" picture with all four of us around Christmas time, but instead decided to get a few cute pics with all the cousins...Nolan, Shiloh and Ziya instead. We did this last year at one of the "commercial" places......and what a crazy zoo that was! We decided to have the "organized ciaos" take place at out house this year. We had a photographer come to our house and capture precious pictures of each one of these little cuties, both individually and as a whole group!! She was absolutely AWESOME and so patient with all the kids running wild! I was only able to snap a few pictures with everything that was going on! Here's a sneak peak of the kids. I will post more once I get them back from our photographer!

A Little Chinese Medicine........

Noah has been suffering from chronic severe headaches(migraines) for the past year and after speaking with his Pediatrician on several occasions he finally referred Naoh to a Pediatric Neurologist to have him further evaluated and to investigate as to why he is getting them so frequently. After meeting with her and her doing multiple tests on Noah and passing them with flying colors, she didn't really have too many answers for us other than he suffers from migraines and that we could manage them with daily antidepressant meds and high blood pressure meds? No way! After talking with my brilliant sister-in-law Sarah....she had suggested accupuncture! She is now offically a "Doctor of Chinese Medicine" and jumped on the opportunity for her to treat Noah with her needles! Yikes right..........

It's hard to see , but he has a needle stuck right on the top of his head! He did great and didn't even know she had stuck him! She rubbed his head and told him that she "accidently pulled one of his hairs"...she's so good!!

Here she is placing little "magnets" on each one of his ears! She also placed them on the tops of his feet, ankle and one on his hand.

Special Chinese massaging.....to release all the energy

I think he is enjoying this!! Big smile on his face! We'll try another session tomorrow!! Good job Noah and tahnk you soooo much Sarah!!!!!!

Tooth #2.......

Wow 4 days later and Tooth #2 has fallen out! Man the tooth fairly is going to go broke at this rate!! We just threw out our Jack-O-Laterns from Halloween....but now we have our own little live one here! His front top right one is loose too!! GREAT.....just in time for Christmas pictures! :-) Poor kid!! He is still sooooo HANDSOME!!!!

Noah Loses His First Tooth......

So Nana Gehin and Noah came home from school on Tuesday and tells me that his tooth just fell out during Art class!!! You can only imagine how excited he was that the tooth failry was going to come pay him a visit that night! He brushed and shined his tooth up and placed it in his special "tooth box" and tucked it under his pillow just right with hopes that the tooth fairy would bring him lots of money!!

Halloween.....

This is the time of year that my kids look forward to the most (well besides Christmas of course)...Halloween=CANDY and lots of it!!! When you are as fast as Noah...you can circle the neighborhood and then some before dark. Let's just say that he and his buddy Connor hit the mother load of candy this year!!


Little Miss "Bat"erina!!

Noah as "Stealth Commando"

The gang of kids ready to take off....they could barely hold themselves still with excitement to get out trick or treating!!

Ava and her friend Claire! I tried to get a picture of Noah but he took off like a rocket and didn't see him until he came in after dark with a TON of candy!!!
