Tubes again

Boo got tubes put in his ears today. He is doing well. There were a few rough moments when he came out of recovery and was crying. He was still out of it for a while and was feeling bad. After he woke up from his nap he was hurting, but now he is playing and somewhat happy. He had a bad earache over the weekend. We went to the dr Monday morning and got some meds. Then we had our 3 month visit with the ENT on Tuesday, and the dr said that he needed to replace the tubes in Boo's ears. The tubes are not meant to last forever, and we knew that. So, now it's all done.

We are spending the night in Houston tomorrow night. Nathan is going to some car event with his friend, and me and Boo will find something to do. The hotel has an indoor pool, so we might just hang out there in the evening. Then Saturday we are having a photo session with MckMama! I am very excited. Some of you may know who she is and some may not. www.mycharmingkids.net is her blog. She really inspired me to take more pictures and to learn how to use my camera correctly. So I am excited to meet her and to get some fun pics of our little family. I will also take my camera to get some pics of Boo myself. I haven't been taking a lot of pics lately for some reason. It is hard to chase Boo around and take pics.

My way!

Sounds like I might be getting that house I like in Port Neches. Nathan just came out today and said we could make an offer on it. I haven't bugged him about it in a few days. I guess that's the best way to get my way.. to not be annoying. But we will have a contingency on the offer that we have to sale our house first.

ABCs

Boo has gotten much better at saying his ABCs. He still skips a few. Last night he just couldn't fall asleep with so many exciting things going on in his world. He doesn't know how to turn off his mind.

ABCD LMNOP Q R S T gibber gibber now i said my ABCCCCS next time gibber jabber me.

Yay!! Lots of clapping...

What we've been doing

We are still trying to sell our house, having some more interest now that the weather is nice. It's nice hot spring weather around here. We have been looking at houses, and we found one in Port Neches that we really like. Nathan can't quite decide if we want to make an offer on it yet. It's at the upper end of what we want to spend, but it will be closer to work, and I really like it!

We have been so busy this weekend. Today we will try to relax after church and stay home. Friday I saw Mamma Mia at the Lutcher in Orange. It was so hilarious! I went with MIL and SIL for MIL birthday. We had a good time. Boo went to a Bounce Zone birthday party with Nathan. Then yesterday, we saw Sesame St Live. Boo did really well. The show was a little silly, but he enjoyed it. Then we went to the bowling alley for a birthday party. Boo loved bowling! He was carrying around 7-8 lb balls like it was nothing. He started getting cranky and whiney after a little while. And he couldn't understand why he couldn't bowl the whole time. I guess it's hard to learn to wait for your turn. And I got to see an old friend that I haven't seen in forever! What a day! Boo passed out as soon as we got home. Now he is sitting in his high chair playing with play dough. We are about to get ready for church.

Work has been so busy for me lately, which is good. This coming week I have a workshop type meeting (PHA process hazard analysis for my project for the engineers out there). I really hope I did a decent job designing this project and the team doesn't change things up too much! And I'll be out of my office all week, so when the meeting is over, I will really need to catch up. I like it though. My days at work go by really fast!

So fun!

Yesterday we all met at the park in Nederland after work. Yes, I worked on a Friday. I know, hard to believe. The park has a big pond and ducks and playgrounds and slides. And dirt. All those fancy playgrounds, and Boo's favorite thing was the dirt of course.

Silly Boy

I guess it's normal at two years old to resist taking a nap. But when you have so much fun that you pass out in your highchair, Mommy thinks it's really funny. And I am home alone so there is no one to share in the funniness.

We watched "Nanny McPhee Returns" last night. It was such a good movie! I really liked the first one. The magic, the silliness, the crazy kids, crazy mom. So cute.

Tomorrow we are going to the church Valentines Day Dinner. They are having some fun activities for the kids too, so Boo will enjoy it too.

Saddest Story

This week a young family in our church lost their 8 month old daughter. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I heard that she had a seizure and went to the hospital, and they couldn't save her. My heart is broken for this family. I can't imagine how a parent could carry on after such a loss. They have older children that they have to care for. There are no words to express this sadness. Please pray.
