The House of Germs

So now for the rest of the month...
My wonderful sharing husband shared his germs with Wyatt and I. We both got sick the day after we got back form vacation. We had something between a bad head cold and the stomach flu that lasted about 6 days. Thanks goodness Tyson was able to avoid that illness. But then just as I started getting better Tyson and Nathan got a cold which quickly turned into pneumonia for Tyson over the weekend. Then 2 days later Wyatt got the same cold which turned into an ear infection. After a week of antibiotics and nebulizer breathing treatments (beauty treatments as Tyson called them the 1st day) Tyson was on the mend. Unfortunately just as we thought Wyatt was recovering he started coughing, which lead to wheezing. And his ear infection never went away. So this week we are giving him around the clock breathing treatments and switched him to a new antibiotic. And now it's a visit to the ENT in the near future to talk about putting tubes in his ears. So we are all feeling better (fingers crossed) and looking forward to a nice warm spring and the end of the flu season!
So if you wondered if we dropped of he face of the planet in the last few weeks...now you know why!

Tomorrow is Wyatt's 1st birthday and I can't believe how fast the time has passed. My sweet baby is starting to walk and talk and I'm feeling a little sappy. There will be more to post (with pictures) next week after the birthday celebrations to stay tuned!

Long Time No Blog...

Sorry guys, it's been a while since I blogged. What a crazy month we've had! Where to start...

February 28th was Nathan's 30th birthday. Yay!!! Now I'm not alone in my 30's! When we asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday back in June he said he wanted to go on a cruise with his whole family. I thought about it for approximately 2 seconds and said "Sign me up!" So Nathan's wonderful (and generous)parents coordinated a family vacation with his Grandma (Double G), Aunt Karen, Uncle Floyd and their 2 sons Ryan and Garrett, Nathan's parents, his brother Devin and our family of 4. It was a crazy group of 12 but we had a blast! It was so nice to spend time with family we don't get to see very often. And Tyson enjoyed spending all of his time with everyone else...especially Garrett and Aunt Karen. Wyatt loved all the food on the cruise, a child after my own heart. He aslo loved the sand on the beach a little too much...we kept having to rinse his mouth out becuase he kept trying to eat the sand. The weather was nice and warm most of the trip, especially in comparison to the snow we left behind. Unfortunately Nathan got sick while we were gone but it didn't stop him from having a good time!

We followed the cruise with a few days at Disneyworld (of course). And for the 1st time Tyson really enjoyed all the rides. We were so proud of him! He rode The Pirates of the Carribean, The Haunted Mansion, Soarin...and sat through dark shows. The last day he was there with his grandparents he woke up crying because he forgot to ride Dumbo. Gotta love that kid! All in all a wonderful vacation!
