I am dreaming of a white...

Well we had our first fire in the fireplace this season while listening to Christmas music, reading the Sunday paper and smelling Taco soup cooking in the crock pot. What a glorious way to spend a Sunday morning. Petey is having to wait for his walk a little later today when it warms up from 38 to 50ish. Oh and as for Petey, we had to take him to the Vet on Friday. He has a fungal ear infection. Let me tell you he does not like either of the type of drops we have (read I) have to put in his ear. One kind is to change the ph in his ear and smells like rank apple cider (which is why I get to put them in... the smell makes Wood sick). The other is the medicine and it has to be refrigerated and even though I try to warm it up before plopping the little drops in his ears, he is still thinking I am doing some kind of slow torture on him. Poor little guy... doesn't seem to have affected either his appetite or desire to play though :-)

Ever so much fun

Monday I broke a tooth on a nut that had been cracked (the tooth not the nut). Boy was I glad that I was home and not on the road. Today the dentist was able to work me in to start the crown process. Once before I had to have a crown on the opposite side of my lower jaw... same tooth. 5 shots of Novocain. I made this dentist promise that he would not give me 5 shots of novocain again (really hard on my body all over, not just my face and mouth0 Well he had to break his promise and he would have given me another shot if I would have let him. I guess my lower jaw is innervated really uniquely (ie I am weird). So it just hurt, even though he tried really really hard not to hurt me and to make it feel like he was drilling right on a nerve. but in the end it is done and I have a temporary crown and I have had a couple of shots of Brandy to deal with the pain tonight and all will be well when i get I get the permanant in about a month :-)

Lost

After a week in a different city, I can't tell you how glad I was to be home. To see the fall colors and trees and woods and lakes and rivers and streams and just to be in my own little sanctuary. The tapestry above that Wood and I bought when on our last Sept vacation really does sum up what I LOVE most. I would rather be lost in the woods any day than found in the city. We rode the beastess over this afternoon to visit Emerson (and his parents). He really had grown LOTS in the past week, at least to my grandma eyes!And finally one of my very talented colleagues and friends, made a jack o lantern out of our FSA post its to welcome everyone to our conference last week. Isn't he great? He whips these creations out in a matter of minutes. :-)

Tummy time or play with Bry time

Tummy time is really play with Bryan time (check out Bry's last 3 pictures)

More Emerson

Two days old 3 days old and already flashing the peace sign :-) And today's picture. Emerson is a really good sleeper. I promise I will catch him with his eyes open tomorrow

Emerson Wray Davis

Kim had the best room and was such a trooper. What a Hospital! Although Bry looks like he is going to do some nuclear (or is it nucular? ;-) ) work, he is really just suiting up for the long awaited birth. And here he is!!!! Isn't he cute? :-) The happy family at last :-)
