This is how we do it, baby.

YAY! Logan has rallied, and did not throw up any more today (hooray!!) and also managed to keep his blood sugars up, and even ate some chicken at dinnertime.

We gave him go-gurts duirng the day to bring on the carbs, but mix them with protien so that they stay in his system longer.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and thoughts!

As a side note, I was cleaning their room tonight, and it hit me how big they are.. as I looked at some of their toys, I realized they are waaay past them. It happens so fast!

I had a relaxing time sorting the toys, and just being in their room, setting up little things for them to discover: a cluster of dragons surrounding a wizard toy, a bin of math activities, a collection of new leap pad stories, etc. Even though part of being a mom for ME will always be about Type 1 diabetes, being a mom is the role I cherish.

Today I just was pissed at this disease. How scary for a little kid to pass out! How dangerous for him! How terrifying for us! arrrhggghhg. It just makes me so mad, because life has enough worries, raising kids in this day and age.

Stupid, dumb, Diabetes.

That's right. I said it.

I think that Global Diabetes walk is coming up, I need to sign up for it, or organize a walk with the kids and neigbors or something.

I will end this post with a pictorial of our recent pumpkin farm visit with the lovely Sherri Monteith and her silly offspring- Irislyn and Sheadyn. It was a perfect fall day, and it's a ritual we like to do with Sherri every year.
This is Mr. Gray Jonathan Liteky, just as cute as he can be:

Some of the many pumpkins that drove my Libra "perfection" quest into overdrive.

Here are the children that make it all worth it: (L-R) Logan, Irislyn (Linny), Logan, and Sheadyn. Sheadyn appears to be having a grand mal seizure, but he is just happy.This is a pic of the cornfields, with a flock of blackbirds in the sky above. Plus some pretty perfect clouds. Every time the birds would fly overhead in thier big flock, Jer and Sherri would announce "The birds! The birds! Did you see that? Look at 'em! Where are they going?" etc etc. I thought if I took a picture they would stop. No. But here is the picture!

Jeremy does Daddy Duty on the pulling of two wagons full of pumpkins....Irislyn decides she can do it herself. :) Atta girl!

Logan loves everything about these "face cut out" thingies.. plus he is trying sooo hard to say cheese!

Here was our final haul! Logan's is the biggest, and Gray's is the tall skinny one on the bench. We chose one for Max, and then I got some fun fancy ones that I SWEAR I am going to do something extra cute with!

Hugs to you all, and to all a good night!
