Too Cute for words


Beanies anyone?
A very late christmas gift finally arrived in the mailbox yesterday. I had them wear them for the rest of the day. I think they love them.

Croupy Ruby

This morning was far from our normal mornings. I spent 3 hours at the emergency room with Ruby. She was diagnosed with Croup. She woke last night at 10pm with a high fever, horrible wheezing like she couldn't draw in enough oxygen and a barking cough. Eric and I have been so fortunate that our kids have only been down with the most common cold and for that matter only a couple of times for each of them. So with that said our experience with something major like this is zero. I'm not sure about Eric, but I was scared and didn't really no what to do. We gave her fever reducing medication last night and she drifted back to sleep no problem. Upon waking this morning she still had a high fever, she could barely breath at least that's how it sounded. I quickly dropped Milo off with Jess & Wyatt and I rushed Ruby to the Med-Center, they said it sounds like croup and that they don't have the means to treat her, get her to ER.

That is when my heart dropped. ER? We have never gone there before. Fortunately they got her in pretty quick, gave her a breathing treatment and then got us a room where she sweetly slept on me. I relish in these sweet cuddly moments, they are far and few between. Ruby was a trooper with 2 sets of chest x-rays (not easy with a 1 year old, 2 breathing treatments and a steroid shot. She did pretty well through her visit at the ER.

Ruby is home and seems to be doing better. Hopefully she will be back to her happy spunky self in a couple of days.

Happy Birthday Papa D






Lets pretend that it's yesterday. March 16th 2011

Happy Birthday Dad! You have told me that you don't celebrate these days anymore but what I say is phooey. Your birthdays are very important to me b/c we get to celebrate you being here on earth, you being our father, you being the fabulous grandpa that you are. I will celebrate these days every year! I am very thankful for many things, you have taught me many valuable lessons and I am sure you will continue to teach me more. Thank you for passing along a gene that I am dearly grateful for and one that I believe I have passed on to Milo. I am a happy and spunky early riser, This morning Milo woke up before the sun was shinning and we lied in his bed laughing and giggling.

Eureka!

No I didn't strike gold but I did find my fleece jacket, car keys and drivers license.

I found myself loosing my mind, my jacket, ID, and keys all in one week. I knew I had all three of them in my house before they all went missing therefore, I became incredibly frustrated and upset that I couldn't find them anywhere. Oh and I forgot that I also lost $20 bucks. I still haven't found that 20 dollar bill but that fact that everything else showed up makes up for the lost money.

As I became so bummed, confused and utterly stumped on where these items could've walked off to I soon stumbled upon all three items within 10 minutes of each other. Seriously, I searched for days all over the house, I couldn't find them anywhere. My first find was the car keys. As I was putting away the yoga mats in the basket I moved some blocks and low and behold there were the keys (probably placed there by some little hands, Ruby's hands.) I then went into the guest room closet for the umpteenth time in search of this fleece and in the corner behind STUFF I saw something brown and fuzzy, ah ha my fleece coat. Next I walked into our laundry closet and on the floor was my ID. Which bafels me b/c I spend many minutes/hours every day walking into and out of this laundry closet since that is what I do as a stay at home mom with 2 toddler kids, LAUNDRY!!!!!.

Why did everything appear in one day, why did they all appear within minutes of each other? I don't know why but I have to say I am so thankful that this mystery is over. I have been so upset with my forgetfulness, I feel like my brain is melting away from my head and body. I'm not sure why it all happened but I am incredibly thankful that I have all of my belongings back in their proper home. My head seems to be back in it's proper place, maybe not as secure as it once was but at least it is there and functioning. Thank you everyone for helping me out and giving me that reassurance that I needed.

Eureka!
