Christmas and family

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 16:00:00 +0000

I'm not going to post pictures of my kids opening presents as we all know what that looks like. But I am going to post pictures of family. They are way more important than any presents.

All the grandkids of my parents. Do you know how hard it is to get all 11 kids in a picture??

Sam and my mom with the newest little baby of the family

My baby Ike isn't looking so little any more!

My mom, dad, sister, brother and me.

The kids so badly wanted in that picture above so we had to take a few more with some the silly kids...

Four generations. My grandmother is not really who she is anymore. dementia/ alzheimer's suck!

Pictures

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 17:21:00 +0000

I think this blog has turned more into a place to stick pictures. But really, isn't that what people want to see? I thought so. :)

We attended the Kansas City Step up for Down Syndrome walk back in October. So a few pictures of that...

Look how pretty my little Sam is getting. She is 11 years old and has the attitude of a pre-teen!

I'm really not dead

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Sat, 08 Nov 2014 19:43:00 +0000

Alright, it may seem like this blog is dead. It's been a long of time. So I think I'll just start posting pictures on here. Sound good, right? I mean really, who doesn't love looking at pictures... Especially my kids! Just kidding.
For some reason blogger isn't wanting my pictures, so I'll work on it. I'll post several and also spread them out over several days. Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for checking in!

Poor Blog part 2

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Sat, 28 Sep 2013 14:30:00 +0000

Over the summer we had baby praying mantis' galore. This one is on a strawberry plan leave. I love praying mantis'.. they are so cool looking. I was so excited we had babies. They were EVERYWHERE.

Spaz will eat any pepper he sees on my plants. He is a tad bit ornery!!

I have tried growing pumpkins several times before but never have done well with them. This year I got 2 pumpkins!! A white one and a bumpy orange one. So happy!

We went to the park last weekend. Here are my kids being cute!

There was a little puddle left from rain that had tons of fish in it. The creek (or drainage/runoff area really) had dried up from the main water source. So being the kind and loving people we are, we saved as many as we could.

There were also several frogs in the area that the kids held.

Smile for the camera... Check out Max. Joe is "eating" Ike's frog.

What is a park day without sticks??

Enjoy Fall before Winter comes and we all freeze to death. Here is a picture from last winter. This was in our neighborhood. It was super huge!! The bottom was like a fort/cave. Just an idea for you once you get snow this year!

My Poor Blog!

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Sat, 28 Sep 2013 01:04:00 +0000

My poor, poor blog. It's been months since I posted anything. So I'll give a quick update and post some lovely pictures.

We got Henry last Fall/Winter. Then we went back to add another dog in spring. His name is Spaz because he is such a crazy dog!

Henry and Spaz checking each other out on Spaz's catcha day.

Spaz

Spaz is a momma's boy type of dog!

Sam colored her hair pink...

We made Blobber and I suggested they acted like they sneezed it out...

Max loves licking me for some reason..

Joe turned 8!

Max turned 12!!

Joe got a BB gun for his birthday.

Ike trying it out too.

Sam wanted her hair brown with blue tips. It didn't go as planned but it is different. She found a butterfly on the deck that had a missing wing. Spaz probably ate it. He chases anything that flies. Seriously if dogs could have ADHD he would be a poster dog! Anyway, Sam saved the butterfly and not only did it not die the first night it lived for about a week! Then one day it was died and she cried all day about it.

Over the summer we visited granpparents and friends a lot. We went to the Discovery Center in Springfield, Mo while there. Sam sure has some crazy hair...

Joe's hair is sticking up too but it is hard to see.

Sam and Spaz being cute

Sam started 5th grade. I still homeschool her, Joe, and Ike. Max goes half days to 6th grade then comes home in the afternoon...about the time the other 3 are just waking up. The plan is for him to transition to full days at school. Ike is in 1st and Joe is in 3rd grade this year.

Joe and Ike made houses on the first day of school.

Max and I.

Ike turned 6!

He picked Golden Corral for his meal because they have cotton candy.

Sam turned 10!! Double digits. She also picked Golden Corral.

Sam being silly

Sam marked on Joe's face while he was sleeping.

And Joe got revenge 2 nights later. Don't worry.. it was washable!

I'll post more tomorrow. Enjoy for now.

World Down Syndrome Day

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:04:00 +0000

yeah, I know it was yesterday. Hope everyone had an awesome 3/21.

Here is my cutie pie that introduced me to the world of Down syndrome...

This was right before Sam was born. Back when Max was my one and only. I love all my kids to pieces but I have to say I still miss those days of just Max and I hanging out all day during our thing. Which as most of you know really consists of OT, PT, Speech, doctor appointments, playgroups, play dates, etc... :)

We went out to eat last night and the waiter saw Max and said, "today is Down syndrome day, right?" I thought that was awesome. He said he had watched a film the day prior in one of his classes. I think the film was the one that our local Down syndrome guild made.

Enjoy.

Walt Disney World and pneumonia

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:45:00 +0000

Happy 1st day of spring!!
I'm so happy it is officially spring. I love this season. Soon we will be outside playing in the dirt :) Too bad it's freezing outside still. It snowed yesterday. During spring break it snowed!

We went to Disney World for 9 days the first of February. It was our worst vacation. Max had been sick the week prior. In fact he had missed that whole week of school. He had pneumonia. I had taken him in on a Monday (he had been sick for 2-3 days before that) to the doctor because he had the most awful sounding cough. I was thinking he had pneumonia... I am good, right? They tested for flu and strep, which were negative. I'm the one who suggested xrays for pneumonia. He started antibiotics and had a follow up in a few days. He really did not improve that much. He got a new antibiotic and a couple of shots of a different antibiotic. He seemed to be improving so we left for Disney early Friday morning.

We had a 2-3 hour layover. We ate at the airport while waiting. Max only ate about 3 french fries. When we finally made it to Disney World that evening we were walking up to check in for our cabin and Max started throwing up. Saturday morning I called the on call doctor back home. She called in yet a new medicine for him to a pharmacy I found that delivers! This one had to be taken with food otherwise he threw it up. And really he was throwing it up anyway, no matter what. I had to force him to take a few bites of something to take his meds. It was awful and took forever because he wanted nothing to do with food. By Monday I was ready to take him to urgent care. The doctor said give him about 24-36 hours and if there was no improvement to take him to urgent care. I gave it one more night. Tuesday he still just laid around and slept. I finally called urgernt care (that comes to pick up patients) Tuesday afternoon. I was also getting sick by this point.

Saturday Pete took the other 3 kids to Magic Kingdom while we let Max sleep in. Max and I met up with them after lunch. But Max was miserable the whole time. Sunday we made a late start and went to Hollywood studios. Again, he was sick and miserable. I had carried him on my back pretty much the entire 2 days so far. Monday I took the other 3 to Epcot while Pete stayed with Max. I started to feel sick that afternoon. We almost left a line that we had been in for about 45 minutes because I felt like I was going to pass out then once that passed I felt like I was going to throw up. I am sure the people around us were thinking, "stay away from her!" We made it to the ride and left shortly after that.

I had already decide I was just going to enjoy the trip and not take a ton of pictures. I did take these with my phone..

Gosh, my kids are strong!

Tuesday Pete took the 3 kids to Animal Kingdom and I stayed at the cabin with Max. Like I said, I felt bad too and had a fever so I was fine with staying back. I was told when I called urgent care the wait was 4 hours. But what else was I going to do?? It took about 3 hours of waiting. I was tested for flu and strep. They were negative so they just treated me as if I had bronchitis or pneumonia since Max had pneumonia. as for Max there was nothing more they could do for him so they sent us to an ER at Florida hospital in celebration, FL. Max got an IV, started fluids and a dose of meds. We were there for 5 hours (by the time we got there it was midnight). He then got transferred, by ambulance, to another hospital, in Orlando, that had a children's department. Why did they not take us there in the first place? I don't know. That ambulance ride was $700.

Ended up Max had streptococcus pneumonia, mrsa. Meaning it was penicillin resistant. Fun, right? Max and I finished up our Disney vacation in Florida hospital. We flew out Saturday (on my birthday!) so the doctor ordered our release forms the night before but for Saturday before our flight. That way Max could get another couple of doses of meds. We got out early, like 7 am early that morning. Our flight was at 7ish that night.

By the time we made our way to the airport I could tell Joe was feeling sick. By Monday Joe and Sam were both sick. Took them to the doctor and they both had strep throat. about an hour later Ike spiked a fever. I called the doctor and he got meds too. We were all on meds but Pete! Long story a little shorter... They ended up having strep throat they think was penicillin resistant plus "some" virus on top of it. They all had awful coughs!! I also got sick again and got treated for an upper respiratory infection. That was an awful week with several trips to the doctor and many trips to the pharmacy.

We finally all got better but it took awhile. In fact I still have a cough but it is fading. Max had sores on his butt from being in the hospital on his back for 5 days.

It was not a fun trip!! At least the 3 healthy kids got to visit all 4 parks. I don't think Max remembers any of it though. Pete took the kids to Sea World while i was with Max. They did not like it. It cost $350 for the 4 of them to get in and the kids were mostly too small to ride any rides. They saw the whale show. It was a very expensive trip! However, we bought travel insurance so they are (should be) covering medical expenses and part of our trip for "trip interruption". I have filed half of that but not any medical stuff yet as I don't have all the bills for that yet. Fingers crossed we get a good chunk of our money back.

sick, sick, sick!

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 04:50:00 +0000

A couple of weeks ago we all shared a stomach bug, well, all but Sam. I only a had very mild case. I just felt sick but never got sick (as in throwing up like everyone else!) We got over that and then last Friday Max was sick with a fever. Thursday night I woke up with Max shaking next to me like he was freezing. However, he felt like a little space heater. He stayed home Friday from school. Saturday he perked up but by afternoon he was back in bed. Sunday he was in bed the whole day. He also developed a cough Sunday night. Monday he was still laying around and not feeling that great. His temperate was in the range of 101-103.5 degrees.

At first I was think maybe flu. This is the first year I didn't get them flu shots... the first year ever. Time just got away and I never made it happen. I know, bad mom, right? But then after he got that awful cough I wasn't so sure about the flu anymore. Tuesday I go ahead and take him to the doctor. They wanted to test him for Strep and Flu. I asked about pneumonia as well. The doctor agreed to test him for that too.

The first 2 are just swabs. Which you would have thought we were trying to chop something off of him. He very loudly protested. They were both negative. Sigh of relief that it was NOT the flu :) For the xrays to test for pneumonia we had to go to another building across the street. It was pouring down rain and Max thinks he melts in rain or something like that. We of course drove as it was not really walking distance but still took forever to get the kids to the car then back out of the car across the street. Max did protest the Xrays but once we explained it was only a picture he calmed down and listened well.

Couple hours later I got the call from the doctors office that Max, indeed, does have pneumonia. Poor Max. He is now started on antibiotics. Hopefully he feels better within a couple of days. We are leaving for Disney World in a few short days so I am also really hoping nobody else gets sick!!

He looks miserable and he sounds awful! First time one of my kiddos has had pneumonia. Pete had it a few years ago and I remember he acted like he was dying. Max is taking it much better ;) I have never had it so I don't know how painful it is. Knock on wood... since I do get coughed on and cleaned up throw up last night (I think b/c he just ate then all the coughing it came back up). I also drank after him Thursday night. Hoping I have a super strong mom immunity!

Shopping...at Justice

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 06:24:00 +0000

I am not a huge shopper. Or at least I'm not a fan of shopping with 4 kids in tow. And really, when don't I have 4 kids in tow??

Sam received some clothes for Christmas that she wanted to return. Of course it was the super girly store Justice. She also had a gift card for there from her birthday (back in August). I hate going in that store. The boys get super bored there while Sam tries to decide on what exactly she has to have.

Upon walking in the store this is the music line up.... Taylor Swift, We are Never, Ever Getting Back Together, then it was some song by one direction, right after that it was Taylor Swift again. Same song. I like Taylor Swift but I really don't want to listen to her songs over and over again while shopping in the dreaded store of Justice.

Sam eyed some pink sparkly boots as soon as we walked in. They didn't have her size. SO she searched and searched for something else. I was ready to wrap it up by that third song. I don't know how long we were in there but I'd guess close to an hour, maybe 45 minutes. urgh. She finally settled for another pair of boots, that were not on sale, off white in color (to get really dirty!), and cost $50. Apparently Sam got the girly gene of never having enough shoes. I'm not like that. But at that point I didn't really care what she picked out I just wanted to leave!

I hate returns after Christmas. We have 2 more stores still to go to. A lot of years I wait so long I decide to just say screw it and donate the item I intended to return.

Christmas 2012

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:00:00 +0000

I'm not posting a bunch of Christmas pictures but here's a few. Henry was all into getting his picture taken Christmas. He kept butting in.

Henry

Ike is all into Lego Starwars. He got several different sets. He was happy.

Max and Sam got an Ipod to share (along with other stuff).

Joe's favorite present was probably his snap circuits. It is a very cool toy. He also got several sets of K'Nex and a new copy of super mario bros Wii since our other one got too scratched up.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas.

3 silly boys

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:00:00 +0000

Joe made his own "nerf" shirt. He has the guns, a pair of flip-flops and I think some shorts. So he made his own shirt to match. It turned out pretty good.

Max just being goofy but wow so cute!

My Mr. dress-up man. Ike dressed like a girl. Yes, it's a pirate hat but it has long hair.
Sam helped him get dressed up like a girl.

Henry post 2

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 16:00:00 +0000

Here is Henry again. This is over a month old. He has plumped up nicely and now is at a more normal weight. He still is a really good dog. He has darted outside a few times and he just runs! Explain why he was picked up as a stray by the animal shelter. Sam has caught him every time. He loves to go outside. He no longer wants to eat Tinkerbell (the cat) but is now deathly afraid of her. She has no claws so I'm not sure how she claimed her alpha-type profile. He will not walk any where near her... at all! I dog-sat my mom's and my brother's dog last weekend. They are both super small dogs. Both well under 10 pounds. One is a toy Chihuahua, the other is a dashound mixed with something (it has some fancy name but I forgot). The dashound is still a puppy. Henry LOVED her. He wanted to play non-stop with her (she... not so much) until she growled at him over the food bowl. Then he was afraid of her. He warmed back up to her by the end of the weekend. He is such a docile, push-over type of dog. But he is a sweetie.

The tooth fairy visited JOE

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 05:06:00 +0000

At the ripe age of 7 1/2 years Joe lost his first tooth. It was loose for what felt like forever. Then on New Years Day I looked and it was barely hanging in there. I asked him if he wanted me to hank it out. He siad yes. So with one teeny little pull it was out. Of course it bled but very minimal. He is the one that freaks out at the sight of blood and requires a band-aid even if there is no blood if he gets cuts. So considering that, he did OK with it. Afterwards he asked why he felt sick. Silly, silly boy! He would't finish eating because he was "sick" afterwards...all over the sight of a little blood.

Karate & Jujitsu Tournament

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 06:21:00 +0000

This weekend Sam had a tournament. It was very long! What was scheduled for 3 hours really took 4 1/2 - 5 hours. That is a long time for the 3 boys to sit and have patience. Anyway, Sam didn't win any of the matches. Once she knew it was over for her she just sat in her spot crying afterwards. The girl she was up with went all the way to first for her division. That girl is in Max's class at school. She is very nice and I'm glad she won. Every student got at least a team trophy. Sam competed on a team for sparring, individual sparring and individual grappling (Jujitsu). She lost them all. I helped get the dojo ready for the tournament and one of the teachers/senseis told me he thought Sam would have a good chance of winning 1st. He was sure she would cream the 1st person she was up against but it didn't happen. I told Sam maybe she was just having an off day.

Anyway, on to the pictures...

Our fighting warrior :)

Sam getting ready

Sam on her individual sparring. Sam has the red belt here. (the sides were red and white)

Sam going in for a kick

Sam Grappling (ground work/Jujitsu). Here she is white belt.

Sam receiving her trophy from Sensei

While the others are still getting trophies. Sam talking to one of the boys I'm pretty sure she likes. There are 2, they are twins. She bugs the heck out of them and them to her. She got pretty embarrassed in the car one day when I starting singing Sam and ______ sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g....

All the competitors for the day. Yeah, you may need to click on this one :) Just look for the red arrow to find her.

Sam being a tad bit ornery up there. Notice she has her trophy 'kicking' the boy next to her. I'm 99% sure that was on propose.

Saving the best for last.

Sam with Sensei Travis

This is Pete and my sensei as well. He is awesome.

Angel tree time!

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:20:00 +0000

I have not been as actively promoting Reece's Rainbow. Mainly because I have not been very active on my blog!!

Reece's Rainbow has their annual Angel Tree up. Please check it out!! There are SO many children that need their forever home. Some of those precious angels have been on there for years! Like little Yegor. He melts my heart. I wish every single one of them would find homes. None of them deserve a life in a orphanage. They need a loving families to show them what love really is.

Go check out these cuties, help spread the word, donate if possible, and if you are a lucky one then maybe one of these cuties will become your own.

Grab This!

Meet Henry

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 17:19:00 +0000

In September I had my dog, Baby, put to sleep. She lived a LOOONG life. She was 19 years old. Almost 19 1/2 years.. you know the half part only counts when you're really young or really old!! It was hard, obviously, because people become so attached to their pets. Her mom was my dog so I had Baby from the moment she was born. However, it was her time.

We were in the process of adopting a retired greyhound. My gosh- what a process!! The application was 4 pages long. They actually call references and your vet. They do a house visit and required locks on all gates. We went through all of it. There were 2 dogs that would match our profile (the dog had to like kids and cats). However, they turned out heartworm positive and weren't available yet. But reading the contract from them Pete decided he didn't want to sign it anyway. They had some crazy stuff in there. It sounded more like they owned the dog we would just have the daily care of it. Anyway, we decided against it.

So that had us starting over looking for that perfect dog. I finally found an animal shelter about 30 miles away from us that had tons of cute pets. We had several to check out. It was so sad to see how many dogs (and cats) they had that needed homes. Not sure how parents actually adopt kids from orphanages with all those adorable kids begging to go home. I'm sure it is more than heart breaking. In the end we chose a German shorthaired Pointer named Henderson. He was so skinny but so nice.

We have had him for about a week and a half. He has already fattened up a lot. He really is such a great dog. Him and our cat have not come face to face yet. Well at least not closely or nicely. He is very interested in her. She not so much! At first we thought he would really like to eat her but now I really think he just wants to check her out. She does not have front claws. We wish she did just for these few weeks! But she used to scratch Max when he was younger (not that he deserved it or anything, right?).

Henry is living life as a true house dog now. He loves the feather mattress the kids put in the living room. He loves to go outside and sniff our backyard for rabbits. I doubt we have baby bunnies this spring in our yard! He loves walks. He loves all the attention he can get. He is somewhere between 2-3 years old. The animal shelter found him as a stray. They said he was near death when they found him. He was that skinny! Within a week home we had him actually leaving food in his bowl because he was no longer starving. One of his dewclaws have been ripped out. ouch! The vet said he may need surgery but for now to watch how the nail grows back. Henry was only at the animal shelter for 2 weeks. He is such a sweet dog.

Tubes and Teeth

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:15:00 +0000

I have talked about how Max has had about a million tubes put into his teeny, tiny little ears due to fluid. Well he will be getting his millionth and one set of tubes soon. Joy! In about 2 weeks he will be getting those. Fingers crossed this will be his last set he ever needs, and that the tubes don't fall out within the first week.

Max's teeth-- where to begin? His first tooth he lost was perfect. It was loose for awhile and it jiggled and jiggled until one day he came downstairs with it in his hand. He was almost 10 years old but the tooth came out by itself. That is the only tooth to come out by itself.

His next tooth came in like a shark, creating a second row, along with the next one. We did in-office sedation at the dental office to have them removed. I don't remember if I posted about it or not. Probably not since I never post anymore. Anyway, it was awful! The entire thing was awful. He had 3 teeth pulled at that time (all on the top). I was also informed he is missing his 2 front bottom adult teeth. So the cute little baby teeth he has now will be the ones he has for life. Well now he has a bottom tooth (right next to the 2 front ones) that has come in like a shark row again. He saw the dentist over the summer who wanted to wait until school started up to pull it. He said the office won't be as busy then (with kids in school) and he wanted it done first thing in the morning. That appointment was Friday, at 7:30.

Friday morning I get up at 6 AM! Way to early to be up, by the way. I get Sam and Max both up. Sam was going in to get more sealants. We get to the dental office at 7:30, a little before really. The parking lot was empty and nobody was inside. I check my reminder email on my phone to make sure I had the correct time, place and date. I did. I called the phone number and got voice mail saying they open at 8. So we wait. At about 7:45 dental people started showing up. We go inside. The front desk lady told me that the doctors had to reschedule all their appointments as they would be out of the office that day. Then she said they called me twice to reschedule, Wednesday being the last time. She says they left a message for me. I asked her what phone number they called. It was correct. I said I never got any message, nor missed calls. She pretty much said I was wrong.. just not in those words. I was just a little irritated! I rescheduled it for the next available time. Which is not until almost the end of October. But I'm trying to see the good. Maybe he'll have another tooth up by that time and the baby tooth will need to be pulled or Maybe it's enough time to find another dentist that will do a combo case with the ENT.

Backtracking a little bit... After hearing Max would need more tubes I was kinda excited that he now needed 2 things done at once (3 if you count blood work). I told the ENT office to try and get it combo'd with the dental office. It took several days but finally I got word. The Dentist doesn't do combo cases because the hospital doesn't like it. They tried it once but it didn't go too well, supposedly. Plus the dentist has a Monday afternoon block time at the hospital whereas the ENT does not have any time Monday afternoons. It would not work out. Bummer.

I called the ENT office on my way home from the dental office. I asked if they knew of any dentist that do combo cases with them. She did not and went on to explain that the hospital usually does dental cases Monday afternoons. The story changed a little. So now I'm not sure if I'll find another dentist to try and do a combo or just go with what we got scheduled.

I wish Max would just pop his teeth up in the correct places!! I guess I also forgot to mention that instead of in-office sedation we are trying nitrous gas this time. I hope it puts him way out in crazy land and he just does what he is told. He will not even go INTO a dental chair so doesn't the whole thing sound like fun?

Salt garden

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:30:00 +0000

We made a salt garden awhile back. The recipe was on some Blueing agent used for laundry.

It looked very cool.

It grew, and grew, and grew!

But my goodness that thing was messy!

It would spread to anything close to it. Like our fruit bowls that were near it. And the counter tops. It was fun to watch though.

Sam and Tinkerbell

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 13:30:00 +0000

Tinkerbell Loves getting brushed. Sam is happy to help out.

take my picture 2

Here's a couple of pictures of my other goof balls

(I think this was chapstick)
Yeah, not my child below but like I said before she might as well be! She is wearing a hat she made out of paper.

Take my picture mom!

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:30:00 +0000

I hear that ALL the time from Ike. However, it is usually when he has something silly on his face or doing something odd. So to make Ike happy here are several picture of Ike being just a tad bit silly.

Max's musical

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 13:30:00 +0000

What else is there to do while waiting for Max's musical to start at school? Make silly faces for the camera of course!

I never got any good pictures of Max but he really was up there..

lic-a-stic

noreply@blogger.com (JennyH) — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:30:00 +0000

Not sure if that is how you spell that candy or not. Ike, I don't believe, is a big fan.

Yeah, good stuff! I saw him take the first bite and his awful face that followed. I told him to try it again... you know, so I could get a picture!
