Or I have a 2-year-old :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went & had Duncan's 2 year pictures taken today. Yes, I know he's been 2 for almost 6 months. For some reason, going to the photo place during Christmas on a Sunday seemed like a good idea.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It wasn't. The experience, however, made Aaron & I realize we're actually not doing so bad at this parenting thing!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aaaand here are the pictures :) There are some duplicates because the people at Sears really like us. Also they double-booked our session and then let someone go ahead of us for the review session. So there are enhanced images.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here we go!</span><br />

of habit once I unlocked the front door and opened it I flipped the lock. This
was a mistake.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
As you may know, Duncan is obsessed with shutting doors.
Normally it takes an act of Congress to get our front door open or closed. Not
last night. That thing slammed like a hurricane came through.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
**You should note that I had locked the door**</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Duncan locked me out. I wasn’t wearing shoes.
I had on my at home yoga pants and a tank top, stylishly accessorized with a ThermaCare wrap on my shoulder. Nor did I have my keys (why would I have my keys? I was just grabbing the
mail…). I proceeded to not panic. Which is a slight miracle in
itself. And then walked to the back door. Did you know there are thistle-y
things in my yard? I didn’t. I do now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Guess what happened when I tried to open the back
door? Nothing. I was 100% locked out. Crap. (well, I may have used stronger language but this is a family blog!)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
It's August. We have one open window: above the sink in the
kitchen. Which is about 8 feet (or 500) off the ground. I first
tried standing on a cooler we have out back. Not even close. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I went to the garage (note I’m still barefoot). I
somehow managed to get the garage door open and not disturb the yellow jacket
nests or piss off any spiders. Lo and behold! A step
ladder! I could now get 3 feet high! Please note that I’m 5’2”
tall.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I drug the stepladder back to underneath the
window. Using it properly got me…not even close.
Improperly? Closer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I gingerly stepped onto the top of the ladder. The
part you’re supposed to use as a handle. I managed to beat the screen
out. I then (somehow) managed to grab the inside of the window then
scramble to a precarious perch in the window. At this point, Duncan
saw me and realized I wasn’t in the house. Because I was hanging in the
window. He looked at me with a “what the heck are you doing there?”
look and proceeded ignore me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I teetered and tottered and got a leg through the
window. And made it back into the house. I checked Duncan (he was
fine…lucky kid) and then washed all the dirt off me. Pretty much lost it,
got it back and ate a bowl of ice cream. With caramel. Because I
deserved it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
This is why, if anyone asks, I have one child. Because 2 of them colluding against me? **shudder** I don't want to think about it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
PS. I went into the living room after I was cleaned up and my son was sitting on the couch with my reading glasses on, "reading" my
Kindle. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
PSS. Full “I’m a great mom” confession: Duncan
tripped earlier in the evening and has a goose egg from landing on the
heating grate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
PSSS. Duncan will probably survive until he’s
10. I may not…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
PSSSS. A "real" blog post should be up soon. Or eventually... </div>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17951995068440159104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125463782717876801.post-68490791585097791772011-12-26T14:46:00.000-08:002011-12-26T14:46:48.091-08:00Look...Halley's Comet!!<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Would you look at that? It's Halley's Comet! (or I'm trying to distract into not noticing that it's been over 3 months since I last posted). Shhhh...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Happy Christmas to all!!! A lovely time was had by all at the Tinsley house. Duncan received a letter from Santa. It was super cute & might have made me cry a little. Then he was sent a video from Santa via email! We discovered Duncan was on the "Nice" list this year because he was a good & clever boy :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Many Christmas cards were received. Ours will probably be sent around New Year's. I'm a bit behind on stuff.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Between September & December the following happened:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Many new teeth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Duncan can walk.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and climb.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and run.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4 birthdays were celebrated in the family</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Christmas was here! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The walking/climbing/running is my excuse for not blogging. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lots of other fun stuff happened, I'm sure. But I am far too tired to contemplate it at the moment. </span><br />

They were a decent team - not great, didn't make the playoffs, but they were entertaining.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Because it was the last night, I actually remembered my camera so I could get pictures with Duncan & the mascots. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We have two. They are both Spokanasauruses (Spokanasaurus'? Spokanasaurui?). Anyway. Duncan has been in love with Doris the Spokanasaurus since she was introduced. The child has no fear. He gets profoundly upset when she leaves. The child has minimal separation anxiety when a parent leaves. Doris leaves? Screaming fit. We find it hilarious!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For some reason, Duncan has decided that letting me sleep in is the craziest thing <i>ever</i>. This morning he was bright-eyed at 7:30. I gave him his medicine & milk & hoped he would go back to sleep. No such luck. A couple weeks ago he discovered he could move the curtains and look outside. Since the back of the house faces east, one teensy gap in the curtains = God's waiting room. It is super bright. After I put him back down, I made my coffee and grabbed my book, hoping for an hour or so of peace before the boys joined me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">No such luck. Instead, Duncan decided, rather loudly, that he needed to be out of his crib. But it all resulted in snuggles so it was worth it :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After his nap today, we may head out to the shops to check out some of the sales. But we'll see - it all depends on the mood of the wee beastie.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I will leave you with a video...The Indians have another mascot: Recycleman. This guy is amazing. He actually went to the mascot school run by the first Philadelphia Phanatic. Check out his final entrance to the stadium this year...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There you go. Assorted candids, a video and now we're all caught up picture-wise.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Stories...hmmm...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We're fairly certain Duncan's first word was "Hiya". Or possibly Dada. Or Hiya Dada. He just chatters and chatters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He also sits in his baby jail and sorts his toys and blocks. And whistles while he does it. I'm not even certain he realizes he does. Apparently I do the same thing. And after some thinking, my dad used to do it, too! I love totally random genetics!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We think Duncan has 10 to 12 teeth. Neither of us is willing to stick a finger in his mouth to check & he does NOT like to open his mouth if you want to look. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan finally got to meet Grandma Eleen & Pops. They were on their way to their grandson's wedding in Seattle & stopped by. Duncan had lots of fun with them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Poor Duncan...at my last chiropractor appointment (Aaron was next door at the massage therapist), Duncan was hanging out with me. When we were called back for my adjustment, I parked his stroller and went to the table. As soon as the Doctor touched my back, Duncan SCREAMED bloody murder. I had forgotten to give the doctor a hug & let Duncan know it was all okay. My poor little guy was not happy until I was finally off the table & able to pick him up. It was pretty entertaining, especially considering that he's definitely Daddy's guy. But apparently he doesn't want to share his Momma :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now I'm off to bed. Tomorrow is Friday & then the long weekend!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Safe travels to anyone who is going places!!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Wrong answer, I know.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So here are the professional, Duncan is officially 1 pictures. I have lots of other candids but this is a start, right?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">As always I'll try to post more stories more often with cute pictures. In my spare time. Which actually might happen this time because baseball season is over for our team on Saturday. <em>Famous last words</em>.</span>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17951995068440159104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125463782717876801.post-40525925399623270232011-08-10T18:32:00.000-07:002011-08-10T18:32:58.106-07:00Where did July go??<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Holy cow!! It's really August 7? Sheesh. An entire month missing. Oh well :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here's the lowdown:</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lots of baseball games</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One sick boy who got to go to the Emergency Room. Thank goodness for the children's emergency room! Much better than the adult one. </span></li>
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">PS - Duncan was fine, just a nasty virus</span></li>
</ul><li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A re-structuring at my office (no lay-offs, just making things run better). </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">More baseball games</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A visit from Grandma and Grandpa Tinsley</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thomas' 11th birthday!! (how can my darling nephew be 11???) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Getting to meet Eileen and JB and Richard. Well, Duncan got to meet them. Aaron and I already knew them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We found a chiropractor closer to home and started going again (which reduced my migraine frequency from 2 a month to only 1 in last 6 weeks). Plus there is a massage therapist next door and she's wonderful.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I started going to acupuncture. LOVE it as long as I keep my eyes closed.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Weaned off my meds for PPD. I am no longer a Stepford wife :)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron and I celebrated our 13th anniversary!</span></li>
<ul style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We went to see Harry Potter 7b. Great movie. Caused the worst migraine I've had in years. No more flashy, loud, SFX movies in theaters for me.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then we had Olive Garden and went to....another baseball game</span></li>
</ul></ul><ul style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><li>Duncan can cruise furniture like the crazy baby he is.</li>
<li>He's also a roomba. He'll crawl then run into something then change direction by spinning on his belly. It's quite entertaining.</li>
<li>A new couch was delivered. And the living room was re-arranged. It's much better having a couch that fits the room.</li>
<li>Our Tivo died. Fortunately we were caught up on most of our shows :)</li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan met his 2nd cousin Zeni :) (he didn't like sharing his Momma. which made me secretly gleeful because he is such a Daddy's guy)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan met Great Aunt Lynda and Great Uncle Denny. On the same day we got rid of our old couch. </span></li>
<li>We gave our couch away to some kids just starting out.</li>
<li>New couch is now here and is fantastic</li>
<li>Duncan loves to toss things out of his play area. Blocks, block-box, toy basket, pillows, rings, everything. It's quite entertaining. </li>
<li>We had Duncan's 1-year pictures taken. He was such a good boy - the baby next door was screaming and my guy was smiling and giggling :) </li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm fairly certain more stuff happened. If I remember it and it's blog-appropriate, I'll try to post it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oh and there will be a second post soon of just pictures. Probably. </span> <br />

Me: what did you do <i>this</i> time?<br />
Aaron: my lunch (18 hot wings and plate of carrots (the carrots didn't make sense to me, either)) (also notice his nonchalance when I said "<i>this </i>time")<br />
Me: Hysterical, cannot breathe, I think I laughed so hard I had an out of body experience LAUGHTER. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
Seriously. No noise (I couldn't even snort. and all of you know DeFrancesco genes require snorting when laughing hysterically) but I had tears dripping off my nose. It was AWESOME & I totally love my husband!</span>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17951995068440159104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125463782717876801.post-14118927110073574112011-06-17T16:13:00.000-07:002011-06-17T16:13:53.596-07:00Birthday Birthday Birthday!!!<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Mighty D is now a toddler **sob**</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I can't believe it's been a year since I held a tiny, less than 5 pound baby in my arms. Well, hand almost. He's now over 18 pounds and almost 26 inches long! He's cruising the furniture, climbing down off the couch, almost standing by himself and he recognizes the people he sees most frequently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My baby is growing up!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan's birthday was so much fun! We had 18 people over (YIKES!) and a BBQ. Thanks to all who were able to come! I really appreciate all the support over the past year!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now for pictures of "the event" (in case anyone is wondering, the next "event" that will be hosted at my house will be Duncan's graduation. I think we'll have recovered by then...)</span><br />

I have to be honest. My labor didn't hurt. I was uncomfortable but the contractions didn't hurt. I could talk through them, much to the amazement of my nurse and husband. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I had to be on advanced monitoring because they were worried about the baby. His respiration would drop when I had a contraction so they wanted to be sure all was okay. That ended up being a good thing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was all set to have natural childbirth. We'd taken a class, read books, we were ready for it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On the 9th, I woke up at my regular time and was at work at 6. I worked my 8 hours, went to the OB and the chiropractor, had dinner at Applebee's then got a call from my doc stating I was going to be induced on Saturday because my lactic acid levels were rising and she was a bit concerned about the baby. Plus I had gestational diabetes and the baby was tracking at about 5 pounds. Normally, gestational diabetes causes BIG babies. Not small ones.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So Aaron and I were ready to greet our little man on the 12th. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We got home around 6. We have a cracked window and several local vendors had come the morning of the 9th to give estimates. I was looking at the estimates when my water broke. I ran into the bathroom and Aaron yelled in, "everything okay?" to which I squeaked back, "no, I think my water just broke."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron then decided he should probably pack...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We went out front & took pictures (yes, I took time to take pictures). Then popped in the car and went to Sacred Heart.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So we were at the hospital and I was ready to have this kiddo. Around 1 am I decided to have an epidural. There was no way I would have the strength to push if I didn't get some rest. That ended up being the best decision I made because about 3 the nurse came in and told us she had called the doctor and I was having a c-section.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At 3:50 am on June 10, my little man was born. From 3:50 to about 3:55 were the longest, most terrifying minutes of my life. Duncan was blue. He wasn't breathing and he failed the APGAR. Fortunately he started breathing and then passed the next APGAR. I then got to kiss him and then he and Aaron were whisked away to the NICU (where we spent the next 5 weeks...). Duncan was blue because he was bruised because the poor little man was stuck in the birth canal. It took until at least September for the inter-cranial bruising to go away. We know this because he had an unrelated MRI. (by the way...the swelling is gone and his brain is now perfect and all the dura, etc is where it's supposed to be).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was a bleeder so it took a while for me to get glued back together (no stitches. weird). Then I got the post-epidural shakes. I have to say, morphine injected into your spine is <b>fantastic </b>pain medication!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron came back down to let me know Duncan was doing fine. We then headed to the momma/baby unit. Around 8:30 I finally got to go upstairs and cuddle my boy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fast forward a year and he's now almost walking. He chatters to everyone and everything. He loves his bear and his parents. He flirts with all people. He is the light of his parents lives. I cannot believe he's mine. I love my little man.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Happy First Birthday, Bug!!!! Momma and Daddy love you very much!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">PS: Thank you to my beloved husband. You have given me the best gifts - your love and my son.</span>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17951995068440159104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125463782717876801.post-15936644900226273792011-05-30T20:45:00.000-07:002011-05-30T20:45:36.318-07:00Monday, May 30<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Happy Memorial Day to all! Thank you to all the veterans and active service military out there. You are heroes!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I suppose at some point I need to post some pictures. They'll come at the end, though. Quick updates...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan is growing up on us. I have mixed feelings on this. I'm glad he's growing up but want him to wait for me to be ready. But then I remember that with growing up comes no diapers. And independence. So I'm okay with it. (right now. wait 5 minutes and I'll change my mind)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan is now cruising along the couch. He hasn't quite mastered falling from standing up and lands on his head but it doesn't hurt him. Just surprises him. He does a sort of crawl. He doesn't quite get up on all fours but has a very fast scoot. He is still a master of rolling. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We never know where he'll end up each night. Some nights he stays pretty close to where we put him. Other nights he treks all over the crib. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Right now, he's wrestling a pillow and having a wonderful time. I wish I could have a day of knowing what he's thinking. I'm continually amazed by what he does, I can only imagine what he thinks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He now has his own cage (of sorts). We bought an enclosure for him. More to protect our stuff but now he pretty much has the run of the living room. Which is really fun. He also loves to crawl underneath the exersaucer and hang out. We call it his fortress of solitude.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron and I are still trading Duncan off two days a week. It's working out really well and I'm glad we're able to do it. I miss my husband but I know this is what's best for Mighty D :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now for pictures...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron: So you're going to Wicked tonight and won't be home until 10 or so, right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Me: Noooo...Wicked's not until the 19th.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron: Then what day <i>is</i> it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Me: The 12th.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron: Well crap.</span>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17951995068440159104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125463782717876801.post-39870934078135973832011-05-09T21:05:00.000-07:002011-05-09T21:05:53.425-07:00Happy Mother's Day!<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I celebrated my first Mother's Day yesterday. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let's just say it was memorable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But first, the day before...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Saturday was the Children's Miracle Network's Walk for Babies. It's an annual fundraiser to raise money and awareness. I raised over $200! My goal was $150 so I'm really excited and so grateful to everyone who donated! All the money raised stays in the local area to help educate women about how to have healthy babies and support parents and babies in the local NICU's. So this is a cause close to our hearts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan was not pleased with me. I had to wake him up so we could get to the race on time. Then I put a hat & sunglasses on him (which was SUPER cute). A happy camper he was not. But he eventually warmed up to the idea & was chatting with my fellow walkers. We managed to get back to the car before the rain seriously started falling. By the time we got home, Duncan was righteously ticked off. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> And then. he. barfed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and barfed. and. barfed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I should tell you that we changed his carseat from the handy carry the baby in the seat to the next size up that stays in the car. So I had to get him unhooked (through the barf) and into the house. We made it & then got him cleaned up & changed. I was able to get some juice into him and he kept it down. We fed him pedialyte and light milk the rest of the day every 20 or so minutes so he didn't get dehydrated. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fast forward to Sunday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Traditionally we go to the fancy brunch at the Coeur d'Alene resort. It's huge and beautiful and delicious. Duncan had kept down his 6 am bottle & his 10 am bottle. Life was good. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I fed Duncan bits of my french toast. I have no clue what his daddy & uncle fed him. Toward the end of brunch Duncan spit up a little. We took him out of his seat & handed him over to his Nonni for cuddles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My poor little man then proceeded to barf all over his Nonni on Mother's Day. By the way. My sister is not a go-to person when someone is throwing up. In case anyone needs to know. We got Mom a bit cleaned up, Aaron pretty much threw a credit card at the poor waitress and I went to clean up Duncan. I had an extra outfit & he was all nice & dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We were waiting for the car to come around when my poor baby looked at me and had such a sad look then barfed. all. over. me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In the lobby of the Coeur d'Alene resort. On their busiest day of the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron threw Duncan's blanket at me to try & staunch some of the dripping. Yes, it was dripping. The valet brought the car around & we went into damage control mode. I wiped Duncan down as much as I could and Aaron put him into his seat. I then looked down & realized the extent of the damage. I had barf from my left shoulder in a solid stripe all the way down to my right hip. Fortunately, Aaron had worn a nice shirt over a t-shirt. I stripped off my shirt (you'll notice I'm now in front of the CDA resort and entertaining the valets). After Aaron gets Duncan settled in his seat he throws me his shirt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then off to home. Duncan had a nap & I had a nap. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But Aaron & Duncan treated me like a princess and I am assured that I am loved :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love my little man! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">PS. My Mom is wonderful and I love her to bits. I am so lucky to have her and so is my son. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">PPS. I have pictures and videos and such but no time so all you get is lots of words.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is of us trying to teach Duncan to crawl. Apparently it's the funniest thing <i>ever</i>. To Duncan, anyway.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When I started this blog, I tried to give daily updates while Duncan was in hospital so I didn't have to call so many people. I was on maternity leave & would get up to pump or because I couldn't sleep. It was relatively easy to keep the blog up to date.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fast forward 9 months. Mighty D is now rolling all around the living room. I work full-time. Aaron works full-time for a massage therapist (23 hours a week). We work opposite shifts so we don't have to put Duncan in daycare. I also attempt to have a life outside of work. So does Aaron. (please note Aaron doesn't update the blog...) We have one day off together and that's our family day. Rarely will there be updates on a Sunday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My expectation when I started this was to give regular updates. The reality is that isn't happening. I wish I could update more often but spending time with my family is the most important thing in my life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Okay. Now I've hopefully lowered your expectations. Now for the real updates...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan did really well at his 9 month check. Nothing major to report there. We haven't had to change any of his medications. All is going well :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan has a few new tricks. He understands at least 10 signs (more, eat, milk, Momma, Daddy, love, all done, cereal, ball, thank you & good). We try to work the sign language into as much of our daily conversation as possible so Duncan gets a lot of exposure to it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He is quite the roller. He just giggles when we try to get him to crawl but he can get across the room like lightning if he wants to. He loves to stand up and bonk foreheads with us. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He can roll a ball back and forth (about twice. then he gets bored).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Poor little guy caught a stomach bug this week. We had to give him a shot which sucked but helped him get over the worst of it. We ended up taking him in to the doctor, just in case, but it was a virus so all we could do was try to get as much liquid into him as possible. Then we spent all of Tuesday morning sterilizing the toys & his room :P </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Parenting is fun! Why couldn't he have started with a cold? It had to be barfing. Sigh.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm taking a knitting class to learn how to make a sweater. I've completed 3 classes & the last class is next Monday. I'm going to learn how to seam which is my big hang-up. Plus I'll have a sweater :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I also got a new camera & have been playing with it. Read taking lots of pictures of Duncan. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The snow is almost gone & it's about time to clean out the flower beds. My friend Steve's son is borrowing my old alto saxophone & Steve didn't want him to think things just appear & you don't have to work for them. So he'll be helping with yard work this summer. Yay - I don't have to rake! And neither does Aaron :) We're really grateful for his help. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now, on to pictures...</span><br />

This year was no different :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We went to the Texas Roadhouse. Steak & ribs. What a great birthday for </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron! Mom just wanted yummy food :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Awesome thing about the Texas Roadhouse is how they celebrate birthdays. Aaron got to sit on the saddle (with Duncan, of course) and Mom got to wear the giant foam cowboy hat. </span><br />

Readers, be warned, I don't cook much. Baking yes cooking no. Aaron has told me that if he wasn't around I would eat Costco chicken & macaroni and cheese for every meal. Which is possibly true. Anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Remember my stories of the Wednesday from heck? Well, I forgot to tell you about what happened with dinner.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron had made a turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy & yummy veggies. I went into the kitchen to see if he needed help & he asked me to stir the gravy for 3 to 5 minutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I start stirring.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron starts laughing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I look at him and he says, "you might want to turn on the stove."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I laughed until I cried for 3 to 5 minutes & am still giggling. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">PS The gravy turned out fine :) </span>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17951995068440159104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125463782717876801.post-10460909810737994792011-02-23T19:21:00.000-08:002011-02-23T19:21:08.477-08:00Wednesday, February 23<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I did today. I set my alarm for 4:30, thinking I would sleep in an hour since Aaron has today off. That's sleeping in for me during the week. I remember the alarm going off and wondering why the heck I'd set the alarm since Aaron gets up with Duncan on Saturdays. You'll notice it's Wednesday. So I smacked the snooze button until 5:18 am (much to Aaron's chagrin) and then finally realized I still had to go to work. Not the best way to start my day. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I did, however, remember to take the turkey breast out of the fridge to defrost. I didn't remember my cell phone. I managed to make it to work in the proper number of pieces and survive the day. Thank goodness for coffee.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My friend Erin loaned me her camera (which I now want) to take pictures of Duncan for the "Most Beautiful Eyes" contest that is happening at a local baby fair. So I had fun this afternoon taking pictures of Duncan :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let's see...the past 2 weeks not much has happened. No new teeth - the 2 he has are growing well. Duncan loves to eat. This week he's eating peas. On Saturday or Sunday we'll start applesauce. I'm pretty excited - his high chair arrived today. Now we can eat dinner at the table all together! It's great. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I also discovered something. Regular readers know I frequently lose the cord to connect the camera to the computer. When Erin loaned me her camera I asked if a cord was needed to download the pictures. She said, "Nope, you just pop out the card stick it in the reader on your computer. Your laptop should have a slot for it." At that moment I realized I never needed the cord to download pictures...Oops. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm taking a knitting class to learn how to knit mittens. It's on Monday evenings and has been fun. They're going to offer a class for knitting a cardigan next & I'm tempted to take it so I can learn how to seam better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have also become addicted to Carmen Sandiego on Facebook. Dangerous. But it takes me back to my slightly younger years and playing it during Mrs. Fraley's class in 6th grade or Mr. King's class in 8th grade or during my TA time. Love it!!!</span><br />

It's amusing - Nunkie's team is Green Bay, Daddy's team is the Steelers. Not sure which way he'll go. But that's okay. It's a bit early to indoctrinate him in football. At least I think so.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We've had a quiet couple of weeks. No doctor appointments or anything! :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan has been eating solid foods for about a month now. So far, we've had rice cereal, carrots and bananas. Apparently bananas are his favorite. Unfortunately for me. I absolutely detest bananas. The smell, the taste, the texture. Everything. YUCKY!!! Hopefully he'll like peas (next week's new food) as much! We're making all his food so we know what's in in. It's actually a lot easier than we expected. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There isn't much else to post. Duncan is almost 8 months old! and cute as a bug in a rug. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oh yeah...Mighty D now has the absolute foulest flatulence on the planet. We have no clue why. But DANG!!!</span><br />

Yes, I had several complaints today which I tried to ignore but figured I should appease the populous. I had no clue how many people were affected by this little blog. (that should be in sarcasm font, by the way)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Today is my birthday. The first one where I got kisses and snuggles from my son. Wow. It was a wonderful day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron took the 6 am feeding so I got to sleep in until 9 am :) Duncan gave me a Starbucks card which was just what I wanted! Aaron got me Amazon bucks so I bought some CD's and books and am a very happy camper. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We then went to pick up the cupcakes I'd ordered - 24 mini cupcakes. Vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. Very yummy. Christina at <a href="http://www.celebrationssweetboutique.com/">http://www.celebrationssweetboutique.com/</a> also gave me a tub (literally) of delicious cherry frosting for my graham crackers. My grandma used to make graham crackers and cherry frosting for dessert whenever we stayed at her house so that was a very special treat :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then we went to the Olive Garden for lunch. They finally built one somewhat close to our house so it was really fun to go to. It might be too close...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then back home to trade baby stuff and eat cupcakes!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron then went off to work and Duncan and I have been hanging out the rest of the day. He took a nice long nap so I could get the bottles washed, books downloaded and started. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Prior to today...Duncan had 4 appointments the first week of the month. His eye doctor said if she didn't know his medical history she wouldn't have suspected there was anything wrong with him :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He had his 6 month check and also passed that. Or, rather, he took his shots rather well. Then off to the endocrinologist. Also good news. Per his blood tests his meds are all at good levels so we go back in 2 months.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then we went to his developmental screening. This is a routine screening for NICU graduates. He did very well on his small motor skills but was a bit behind on his large motor skills. We have exercises to do with him now and he's already improved a lot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Other than that, Aaron & I are cruising. We're planning Duncan's first trip to watch the Mariners in June.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'll add pictures in a separate post because, once again, I have misplaced the camera cord.</span>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17951995068440159104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125463782717876801.post-91656565407429308352011-01-03T20:51:00.000-08:002011-01-03T20:51:40.937-08:00Duncan's First Christmas (part 2)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyhmzi-tM6oOpWBtgDXOchjwTdCEPLtDaE6T9vI7uc9loFkJ9srZYnp5XbGzcIhLQnAFfw6ymb93XUufDMszg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Yes, I know it's been a while since I've updated the blog. But it was a busy holiday! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We had our Christmas exchange with my sorority on the 21st. My secret sister gave Duncan a stuffed Grinch and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". Duncan loves his new toy!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We celebrated Christmas with Nunkie Gabe on the 24th & Mighty D got a Snoopy dog. Also very cute and well loved! We had delicious Olive Garden - yes, their number is programmed in my phone for the once a month treat and I love their to go option. Big portions and super convenient. We read the Christmas Story and then went to bed early.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Christmas morning we all slept in and had a quiet family morning. Duncan chose excellent presents for his parents. Aaron received a new golf jacket. I received a gift card to my favorite knitting website (www.knitpicks.com) and Aero bars. Very good choices!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aaron & I found a sit-to-stand toy for Duncan. It has a steering wheel that talks and is removable for the sit portion. It then attaches to a bike-type frame that can be a rocking horse-bike and then converts to a wheel around bike. Hopefully it lasts!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Christmas afternoon we went to celebrate with the Conrads and my Mom over in Post Falls. It was very fun. Thomas and Adam were very excited to show us what they got from Santa. Then we opened our family presents. Each year the 5 of us (or however many adults will be at the festivities) and buy only for that person. Joe drew my name & I got gift cards to knitpicks and Amazon :) Perfect!!! Mom had Aaron's name and he got a Millennium Falcon that flies. It's pretty cool. I had Mom's name and got her a coat & shawl and knitted her a hat & scarf to co-ordinate. Aaron had Mary and he gave her an Amazon gift card. It was very fun.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Duncan got all sorts of fun things. He has been playing and using them for the past week! Lots of fun. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We all then retired (?) to the family room to break in the new WII. After creating Mii's for all of us, Thomas, Aaron, Joe & I went bowling. I lost. But I had the first strike! Then Thomas & I played baseball & tied. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dinner was scrumptious. Prime rib. Delicious meaty goodness. I am so glad I can eat rare meat again!! Duncan pretty much checked out after that so we headed home. It was a great first Christmas!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We braved the day-after Christmas sales to see if there was anything we needed to stock up on. I found cute ribbon at half price and some stuff that will work great as gifts :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On Monday we all did nothing. I'm not even sure showers were taken. It was a pajama day. Then back to work for 3 whole days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Our friend Stephanie came over on New Year's Eve. She brought pizza and we hung out and chatted and caught up. It was lovely! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The rest of the weekend was quiet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Tonight, Duncan had his first taste of cereal! I'm making his food so it was brown rice cereal. I discovered we need a better chopper/grinder. Fortunately there is one on sale at Costco that should work beautifully. But it was pretty easy and definitely smelled better than the stuff out of the box! Duncan wasn't too sure about it. I think he thought we were poisoning him. See video. He ate about 10 bites which is really good for the first food :) We'll keep him on just rice for a week or so and then add in something next week. Maybe sweet potatoes. I need to stock up on some supplies...New ice cube trays and lots of freezer bags. And maybe a really big stockpot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hopefully there will be enough pictures to keep people happy for a bit :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This past weekend we were able to go down to New Meadows/McCall to celebrate Aaron's Grandma's (or Duncan's Great-Grandma's) 90th birthday party. It was so much fun!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">All of her children and all of their children and all of their children were there (did you follow??). That's 3 children, 7 grandchildren and 6 1/3 great grandchildren!!! Amazing. We had a wonderful time. There was enough food to feed an army. We tried to eat it all but I'm not sure we even made a dent!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We also had professional pictures taken of each family and then all of us. I haven't gotten copies of those yet so I'll hopefully get them posted eventually. It will be interesting - we had the pictures taken outside & it was snowing. We were all wearing white shirts & jeans (worst wet t-shirt contest EVER) but hopefully we all showed up okay. Duncan had his first exposure to snow and was very cute. He was trying to eat it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was really cute to see the great grandkids. There were 4 under age 4 which was terribly entertaining. Tucker & Duncan are 2 1/2 months apart, Tess is 18 months and Finn is 3 1/2. Made for wild times!! I don't think any of them napped for more than an hour or so. There were some serious meltdowns by the time we left. Duncan did okay but was definitely ready for bed when we got back to New Meadows. So were the parents!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On Sunday we celebrated Christmas with Grandma Sylvia & Grandpa Ken. Duncan raked in quite some loot! He is a very loved little boy :) We are so blessed! Duncan had fun trying to eat wrapping paper. He paid a bit of attention to his presents but then discovered the ceiling. But he sat quietly and patiently through all the present opening. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It took us about 6 hours to get home Sunday. We ran into rain for a while but it was simply an excruciatingly long ride. I was so glad to get back! Glad we were able to go but grateful to be back at my house with my bed. I love my bed. LOVE my bed. So does my back :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We both had Monday off so we lazed around all day. It was wonderful...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and now, the baby needs me :) </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last Sunday we noticed Duncan had a diaper rash that had broken open. We slathered on Desitin and it was still nasty bad. So today he & Aaron got to go visit the pediatrician. Turns out my poor bunny has acid burns from his poo. So now he has 2 creams we put on him. One is a sulfa based one that we have to use gloves to apply. It's going to be interesting...Hopefully it clears up soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Other than that it's been a pretty quiet week. Well, there has been an overabundance of snow which then melted and turned to slush. Then the slush turned to concrete when it re-froze. Super. Aaron's is very sore and tired of winter already. I can't disagree. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And now, I need to go do some Christmas-y stuff so this is a short one :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But at least I updated this twice in a week!!</span>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17951995068440159104noreply@blogger.com0
