still sick... ugh

So now instead of the stomach bug, we've all got this miserable head/chest cold. Chip has ended up with an ear infection and Tony and I both have lost our voices. I guess this is what happens when you have kids: sickness gets passed all around. We are all on the tail end of this junk so i'm hoping for a happy post soon! Hope that you all have had a great palm Sunday!

sickness is everywhere!!!

So we have all passed around a stomach bug here in the house and now chip has a head and chest cold. This has been such a rough 2 weeks! When Tony and I ended up with the stomach virus, we had it on two Tuesdays ago within 3 hours of each other (9:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.)!!! This left nobody to take care of Chip. That meant only one thing... call in the reinforcements! At 2:00 a.m. a phone call was made to Hoppie and Papa for back up! They came with gatorade for mommy and daddy and armed with masks and germ-x, they took chip out of his bed @ 2:00 a.m. to take him to their house and there he stayed until Saturday. MIND YOU i was supposed to be in a class from Wednesday til Friday and ended up, obviously, missing that! Well, Chip got home, all was grand, we all went back to work on Monday, life was great, Tuesday rolled around, the world was rolling right along and i was set to start class on Wednesday. Thuesday evening, 6:00 p.m., we are pulling out of the office, and the projectile vomiting ensued from Chip.... AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Well, what do you do, but put your big girl panties on and make it happen. I cleaned him up and dried off his carseat enough so that i could at least get him home and then realized, who is going to handle this tomorrow!?!? - i've got class!!! Well, daddy was left in charge and they did great! I got through my class, chip got better but then he got a head and chest cold and a TERRIBLE attitude. so now, i'm dealing with a toddler that is pushing terrible 2's anyway, on top of one who hasn't felt good for about a week, has a terrible cough and can't breathe out of his nose.

OH YEAH and just to top it all off, i won the award this morning for the worst mom in the world! Chip, apparently, gagged himself on phlem when he was coughing and vomited in his sleep and i never knew it until this morning when we all woke up....

so all of that to say, "whew! I'm tired and ready for us to all feel better!"

Hope that this finds all of YOU feeling fine and doing well. Hope that the next post will be fun and exciting with happy news and fun stories!

80s party pictures

So this weekend Tony and I went to our Sister-In-Law's 40th birthday party. It was a 1980's themed party and we dressed to the 'nines'. We left Chip with Hoppie and Papa and of course, he came home SPOILED ROTTEN but he was great and had a good time too. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

been a long time

So it has been a long time since i've posted. sorry! Things lately have been really busy and full of fun. tonight, chip is having his firs sleepover at Hoppie and Papa's house! Tony and I are goign to Mobile for a party tonight and are going to let him stay with mom and dad. We played in the snow a few weeks ago and those pics are to come. But other than that, things are going great! He weighs 23 pounds now which is 7, yes SEVEN, pounds more than he weighed at thanksgiving! All is fine other than all the great news and just really busy. Hope this finds you well and we love and miss you all!
