little behind on posting these!

We've had a busy couple of months, as I'm sure everyone else has with Christmas and everything that goes with it :) We had a great time with family and Sam is growing like a weed! He's doing something new every day! I'll try and post Christmas pictures soon - here's his 2 month and 3 month pictures for now.

The first rule of fight club....

Don't mess with us - we mean business!!

Kendra stopped by this evening...with her black eye and stitches - she fell and the sidewalk hit her face! This will be a Christmas we will never forget!

 

 

 

Woe is me! Woe is me....

I've really had better days. I went to the doctor today because my fingertip has been getting infected lately. It is the finger that I tried to cut off when I was 4. (see here for story). Anyway, in the 25 years that I have been missing said fingertip, I have never had any problems until I started changing diapers on a regular basis ;) It keeps getting infected, so I went to the doctor and he decided to dig around and really tick me off! It hurt SO bad, I would give birth 10 times over before doing that again. Well, maybe not - but it hurt all the same!

Here's what I'm dealing with now:



I'm not allowed to get it wet for a couple of days, and I'm on a round of antibiotics. If the doctor doesn't like how it's healing by next week - I will be sent to a hand specialist to get it looked at! Just my luck. And here's some irony for ya!

This is what I was dealing with over Christmas last year:





I had an unfortunate incident with the corner of a desk...which got infected, which put me on antibiotics that I apparently was allergic to, giving me a total body rash - yea....I'm one lucky girl!

Let's hope Sam doesn't get my "gracefulness"!

I'll be posting soon about our trip to Texas and our flight - I'll definitely be driving from here on out!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! Be safe and watch out for desks and sewing machines....

Smiley Sam!

Sam has really been hamming it up for the camera today! Just had to share :)

Thanksgiving Madness!

Hi all! I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!

Well, Sam had his first trip to Texas for Thanksgiving and we had a great time. He slept the entire drive - what a good baby! We also figured out what has been making him fussy lately - the little booger is TEETHING! Can you believe it??? He's got one tooth already and it looks like two more trying to come through. He's just 10 weeks old - poor little guy! Here's some pics of Thanksgiving in Texas:

Jon's Christmas list just got a little bit longer. This past Sunday, all of his tools were stolen from our garage!!! Our devil cat Gasso must've run out of the garage before the door went down - triggering it to go back up. When he got home - all the tools were gone :( God was watching over us in a MAJOR way though! We never lock the door leading into our house from the garage - and in cold weather it sticks. I guess the thieves tried the door and thought it was locked....then tried to pry it open with a paint scraper, with no luck. Thank you Lord for watching over our house!!! It could've been much more devastating. Too bad they didn't take the cat....I'm sure she showed them where the good tools were!

Well, gotta go get ready to play some volleyball! Wish us Scrappers luck!

Sam is 2 months old!

Sam turned 2 months old yesterday!!! And, mean 'ol mommy took him to the doctor today for his checkup and shots. He got over the shots pretty quickly, but I'm still traumatized - it broke my heart that he was in pain! He got a perfect bill of health - except, as the pediatrician said - he does have "terminal cuteness"! We love our pediatrician and his nurse - and the office is adorable. Each room is painted in a different theme - we got the underwater room this time. Sam loved looking at all the fish on the wall.

Here are some pics of his doctor visit.
