Our other babies!
Most people know that we have three other babies in our house. Kayleigh(yorkie), Gabbie(schnauzer) and Lancie(German shorthair pointer). They were our babies long before Jaden was planned. Since Jaden came they have been put on the side and don't get enough love anymore. But we had a big scare so I thought I would post about them.
Lancie is the "baby" of the group but weighs a whooping 84 lbs! She is the big goofball and loves Jaden alot.(I promise it has nothing to do with the amount of food Jaden feeds here!)
Kayleigh is the oldest of our trio but she is also the smallest at about 6 pounds! There is no other word to describe her but as a bitch! She is not friendly to most people. She would rather stay away then join in the fun. Giver her 5 minutes of love a week and she is fine. She likes Jaden but only at food time!
Then there is Gabbie, our middle child in both size and age. She is the most loving of the group but also very hardheaded! She could do without Jaden but she will tolerate her if need be, need being food!
We had a huge scare with little Gabbie this week and I thought I would post since a few people have asked. When we got home from the reunion Gabbie was just off. I wont go into detail but there was a big sign something was wrong and it involved alot of blood. I had to bath her and when she was wet I noticed she had really lost weight. I called the Dr. and explained what was going on and he said to rush her to the vet. Now Jaden had been puking(from both ends) all day and had fever so my plan was to call Rusty and ask him to pick her up and take her to the vet. But after a few tears we threw on some clothes and headed to the dr. Let me add that this is all after 6:00 pm. Once we got there it was explained that Gabbie had an extremely inflamed uterus and would have to have surgery ASAP! He explained that she was in dire condition and our only option was surgery or to put her to sleep. Surgery it was! The Dr. called us after surgery to let us know she was out but still not ok. The next day he called to say she was a miracle and was up and eating!(its those Mississippi genes) We were able to go pick her up yesterday, after stopping at the bank to take out a loan to pay for it, and bring her home! The Dr. explained just how bad off she was, he was shocked she was alive! Her uterus should have been 2 inches but was over 12 inches due to infection! Her WBC count was way off the chart! But she is a fighter and is home and doing well! She is close to normal and lost over a pound in uterus alone! She is happy though because she is back to being the queen of the trio and is once again allowed on the couch, somewhere she hasn't been in about a year! We are so happy to still have her here! Even Jaden is loving on her!!!

Reunion Recap 2010!!!
We had our first reunion for our China travel group this weekend and it went great! It was wonderful seeing all the girls again. They are all doing so good.
We started out the reunion with a pizza party Thursday night. We had six of the families there the first night. It was crazy but fun.
The next day we celebrated Sarah's 2nd birthday!!! Everyone got to make their own stuffed animal!
After the party we went to the aquarium! Jaden got to see a few fish and she finally passed out!
Afterwards we went to eat at Johnny Rockets! We also attempted a small photo shoot and Jaden got her first kiss from a boy. Crazy Grant!
The next day was going to be the hottest day on record here in Ohio and we had planned on going to the zoo. We scratched those plans and 6 families went to the Children's museum instead. I am glad it was so hot because the kids had a great time indoors!!! A big plus here was that wehad the Z girls and they loved pushing the babies.
Finally we ended the trip with a Chinese dinner!!! There was noodles and rice flying everywhere!
Of course we had to end the trip with a pic of all the girls. They didn't have a couch so the curb had to do!
Jaden and I ended our trip with a visit from little Julianna, she had to show us her mad sumo wrestling skills!
And then Jaden was out for the count.
The only bad part about the trip was the hotel. I have decided that is where all the rednecks in Ohio go for vacation. The worst thing was the bathroom from hell. There was enough killer mold in there to knock you out. I thought the stuff was gonna smother me in my sleep! Lucky you I took pictures!
Now we are back in the real world and all sick as dogs! Jaden has a fever and has been puking from both ends if ya catch my drift. I now have a sinus infection, I am sure it had nothing to do with the stachybotrys experiment at the hotel. And on top of all that our dog had to have emergency surgery today, of course after hours! Gonna have to take out a 2nd mortgage for this bill!
But it was all worth it to see our China family again!!!
