Alex's New Hat!

We went to Wal*Mart the other day to get Aimee and Aaron some new swim suits and I felt bad for Alex (since his still fits and he gets the hand-me-downs).

So as I was wandering over to the baby stuff, thinking Andee might like one, I found the toddler hats.

And I saw this hat.

We told Alex that if he kept it on the whole time we were walking around the store, he could have it.

He did.

So it's his.

Ain't he adorable.

I just had to.

Relief from the heat

These pics were taking a few weeks ago, sorry that it took so long to get them up.

I got this $5 water ring clown fish thingy that sprays water. The kids loved running through it. We got it to take to Pflugerville and let the kids play, but some how it got a hole in it.

Oh well. Maybe that's why it was $5... but the kids had fun with it!

All the kids (and the big kid too).

Turn up the water Daddy!

Andee got wet!

"Min's Room" is ONE YEAR OLD!

I just realized today that we've been blogging here for over a year now. Our first post was June 7, 2005, followed by a few pictures of the kids and my bald head!

Here's to another year!

We don't know how it happened...

... but it did.

This morning at breakfast we sat down and I gave Alex a banana and a piece of toast. He ate the banana with no problems, but started to cry when we gave him the toast.

Then I saw this...



... here's a closer look...



Needless to say, we have no clue when this happened or where it happened or how it happened. All we know is that we had to find a Pediatric Dentist and his appointment is at 3:15 PM today.

We'll keep you posted.

UPDATE: Min just got back from the dentist with Alex. She said that he did very well and the procedure that they did was simple and he didn't throw a fit or even stir all that much.

The doctor painted and enamel cover over the exposed nerve to protect it while it healed on its own. He said that that should work for the weekend and if he was still having pain from eating there are two things that can be done.

1) Baby root canal - A $5000 option not covered by insurance. Quite painful and not recommended by the dentist for two reasons: the cost and that it's just going to fall out in a few years.

2) Pull it - The option that we'll take if we need it.

So for right now, we are glad that he is fine and that the tooth is on the bottom row and not really visible.

By the way, the dentist didn't even charge a co-pay and painted the enamel for free.

Min said that the dentist was really friendly and that she is going to call for appointments for Aaron and Aimee when we get back from our trip.
