visit with Jayden

We went to visit Jane and Jayden down in Hayward. It was the first time the boys got to spend some time together. It was very funny. Jayden kept saying "baby" and pointing to Dorian. They learned to share toys with each other and played together very well. It was lots of fun. Dorian would come up to Jayden and hold onto him to stand. Jayden would look a little taken aback and just say "uh oh!".

Jayden also has a little toy piano which was loads of fun to pound away on, or climb on, stand on or sit on. Maybe he'll like playing piano, you never know, he looks like he knows what he's doing in this picture!

water baby

Dorian really is a water baby. Now he's a river baby too! He had soooo much fun playing in the sand! he dug up the sand and then threw it. It got in his hair, under the nails, in the diaper, on mom... pretty much everywhere. It was very funny. And he was so proud of himself too.

This picture was of Dorian when he crawled out of my arms to get on the counter and then climb into the sink. He just sat in there and played for a while. If you give him toys to play with in there, he can keep himself entertained for quite a while. At least he didn't turn on the water while he was in there!

Cute baby!

Dorian likes to pull the bathtub out and sit in it. He even takes toys in there to play with. Then he crawls in and out over and over again. It's very funny. I'm not sure if he remembers that it's a bathtub that he used to sit in when he was smaller, but he does really like it.


He has a new little container with a "trap" on top so that all the food doesn't fall out, but he can reach in and get the food out. Well, smart little dude that he is, he figured out that he can pull one of the flaps back and hold it open, then shake the heck out of it and watch everything come flying out. So much for that idea....was a great thought until 12 month old Dorian got a hold of it!

Dorian and Milo

Dorian and Milo are the best of buds! They get to hang out together every Monday while Maria goes to work with me. They love to give hugs and kisses and they are even sharing toys now! Dorian will take a toy from Milo, but he's usually good at bringing a new one over to him too.

Though Milo isn't crawling yet, he can roll himself to wherever he needs to go, and can sort of keep up with Dorian. He gets a kick out of Dorian crawling all around him though and Dorian really tries to do what he can to get Milo to laugh. It's very cute.

They also like to hang out and watch Baby Einstein videos with Grandpa. I hope that they grow up to be more like brothers, they do get such a kick out of each other, that would be nice to have someone so close.

Well, today I was apparently a road worker on highway 80. I got up like usual and it was pretty gray and rainy. Grabbed a jacket just in case it rained more or was cold, but here in Reno it really wasn't that bad. I got to Truckee and it started snowing pretty bad. It got worse and worse as I headed up Donner. About 2 miles from the summit I got around a curve and saw a big truck on its back. There was someone pounding on the inside window trying to get out. I stopped and ran back just as the guy managed to crawl out the door. He says he lost control in the slush, hit the side of the mountain and rolled. Scary. He was bleeding a bit from his elbow and was a little shaky. Lucky for me someone else stopped and they had a first aid kit so we could patch him up. I have no idea where mine went. Hmmm... Bad me. Finally the ambulance and police came and I left. I saw a couple more accidents with police already there. That's when I thought, hmmmm how important is it for me to get to Auburn and back today? I only had 2 patients scheduled. I decided to be safe and turn around and go home. Well, I turn around and not 2 miles in the other direction, I see headlights facing me. Well, it's a one way road, there shouldn't be headlights!
Also, they were off the side of the embankment. 80 is very scary because of the dropoffs on the sides. Well, he spun out and slid down the dropoff backwards. A couple of trees stopped him. Hooray for trees! He only had a little cut and some muscle aches. Nobody had stopped to help, they probably just didn't see him since he was down the side of the hill. I waited with him for the police and towtruck. Turns out he was a ref for the basketball tournament in Reno and he didn't have a way to get there now. Since that's where I was going, I decided to give him a lift. Nice guy too! His poor car, totalled. Still though, could have been a LOT worse, like no trees to stop him. So I made it home and snuggled with my boys and all is well. I HATE slippery roads, especially 80. Ah well... Anyone wanna buy a cute little office in Auburn?
And of course I have to end with a little picture of the cutest baby ever. He discovered noodles with LOTS of sauce. Every bite was "mmmmmm". He probably ate at least 1/2 a cup full! Yummy yummy! :)

NEW OFFICE!!!

Hooray we have anew office! So this will be Karl's main office now. Here are a few pictures. The one above is of the snazzy x-ray room. So exciting to have an x-ray for him to use whenever he wants. And it's a nice high frequency one with digital display and everything! The picture below shows a shot of the adjusting room. It is one big room with four tables lined up together. So everyone can chat while they are being adjusted. We haven't worked with this system before, so it should be interesting. I do have 2 rooms that are next to each other with the wall in between mostly gone, so mine is basically one room and that has worked well (Auburn practice).
This is a little alcove room that has the children's adjusting table in it as well as new patient wall with testimonials etc. you can just see the front of the office here a little bit.
And here is the man himself. :) Dr. Karl V. Forsberg, DC, CKTP. aka Mr. Fancy Pants.

This is the children's adjusting table. It's a little school bus. Very cute.
Another shot of the main room, this time from the front of the office.
That is Karl (duh) and Dr. Christine Epper, the one we bought the office from. She had to have a kidney transplant because both of hers shut down. That is why she had to sell the office. And we were more than happy to have it!
The back office. This is between the main room and the x-ray room. There is a private adjusting table for people who are shy, a TV for report of findings as well as the x-ray view box so you can show people how messed up their spine is. Nice.
That's it!!! So Karl officially starts with patients next Wednesday. Wish him luck! Now he has to go earn the big bucks to pay back the loan for the office. yay. :)

Awwww....

Just wanted to put in a collection of cute photos again. Of course Karl and I never get tired of staring at the little man, so now you get to also! This first one is when we went to a business lunch meeting. He slept through most of it which made the meeting very easy to do. This picture is of him at his birthday party again, but I wanted to show him mowing again. You can really see how he is ripping the grass out, looking at it and then dropping it all over his lap. Very funny
And of course the only picture where he looks mildly excited about his cake. Actually, I think it was the candle more than the cake, but oh well. Dada was trying to show him how to blow out the candle. We're not quite there yet.
Last picture, Dada and Dorian, cute!
