Walnut Creek Movies Under the Stars

By
Every summer the City of Walnut Creek has a summer series of outdoor movies at Heather Farms Park. It is free and always a great time. We bring blankets, popcorn and enjoy watching movies on the giant screen. Danny and I like having family time together. Scott stayed awake for the entire movie. Tyler sleept and watched just like babies do. I recommend it to all.
Tonight we saw "Night at the Musuem" with Ben Stiller. Good show! It could have had a little more character development but we still enjoyed it and left feeling good.
Waiting for the show to begin. We hung out for about an hour before it got dark.
Scott eating his popcorn.
Tyler being cute.
Tyler eating his PB&J sandwich...he loves them! And Scott stuffing his face with popcorn. It was impossible to get the kids to look a the camera tonight.

I LOVE that idea!! I wish they did more like that in our community. We have a concert in the park but the kids get bored of that within 30 min... a movie is fantastic!! Looks like you had a great time and the boys LOVE their popcorn and pb&j. Best part... it was FREE!!!

It must be so nice now that Scott is old enough to enjoy these kind of activities. You guys are always doing something different and fun.

My mom is in town from Utah. She spent the night at the hospital last night and has been holding Tyler quite a bit. He really enjoys being held, so he's less fussy and has responded well to the weaning of the oxygen. He's on regular air, but I guess it's still the high-flow to keep his lungs inflated. He's up to 9 cc's of food per hour, an improvement over yesterday's 2 cc's. The picture is of Betty and Bob Maddox (Heather's in-laws), Jacquie Lietz (Heidi's mom), Heather Maddox (Heidi's sister), and Walt Lietz, Heidi's dad. They did a 5K walk to raise money for the American Heart Association. Thanks to all who donated on behalf of Heather and Tyler!

Ok, should we just rename our blog the McMillan Pediatrics Medical Journal? Everyone has issues. Our family is congenital medical disorders. Tylers heart, Carls brain and Dannys Hips. Danny had hip discomfort growing up, visited the doc at 17 and was dismissed with "bad hips." He learned to make the best of his hips by monitoring his activity, walking slowly, making me wear hiking packs and taking breaks. After experiencing back pain this year he went to a doctor who took one look at his x-ray and sent him to orthopedics who sent him to a surgeon. We are blessed with a great friend who is amazing hip surgeon and chief of orthopedics AKA John Kronick who guided us in our decision. Our family is always taken care of in miraculous ways. Here are his hips: The Problem: acetabular (hip) dysplasia is a congenital disorder usually formed by age 3. His acetabular is more dish shaped instead of cup shaped. A normal hip would surround the head of his femur. His X-ray shows signs of art
