Jeremy's Second Back Surgery

Jeremy had his second back surgery today. The doctor said that it went well. He explained to me that he had to go in and shave down the same disk that had been injured before. There was a fragment that was compressing a nerve bundle and that's what had been causing Jeremy so much pain. We are hopeful that this will be his last back surgery for several years. (At some point in time, he will probably have to have this portion of his back fused.)

Rachel's First K5 Field Trip

Today, we went with Rachel on her class field trip to Cedar Hill Farm. Everyone had a great time. Rachel enjoyed most of the day with her friend, Morgan. Abigail really liked petting the animals (until the donkey nibbled her fingers...LOL!) Both of the girls got to pick out their own pumpkin to bring home.



Here are some pics from the day.

Learning to Ride A Bike

Rachel finally had her daddy remove her training wheels and she learned to ride her bike today. She's really outgrown this bike, but we told her that she would have to learn to ride it before she could get a new one. I guess that we will have to put in a request with Santa now.

Our First Trip to the Fair

Last night, we took the girls to the fair for the first time. Overall, we had a good time.

Since Jeremy doesn't like to ride stuff, Rachel and I rode a lot of rides together. Her favorite ride was the Gravitron. She is getting tall enough to ride many of the rides so she had a great time.

Abigail, on the other hand, didn't enjoy the fair very much. She wanted to run around and really didn't want to be in her stroller and there really wasn't much for her to do. Jeremy was so sweet for chasing her around and dealing with her tantrums all night. He's such a good dad.
