Blogger FAIL

So... another unexpected hiatus from blogging :( Things have been crazy over the past 6 months... But in other news I've tagged 2012 as a year of change for me! So, over the next week or so I'll be reorganizing and redesigning my blog. But most importantly I'll be designating a few blog posts a week to updating what our family, and, more importantly, Marshall (aka The Marsh), have been up to since October when my blogging became quite infrequent.

The Marsh has been growing up right before our eyes so I want to make sure I document and share all of that with you. A few updates you can look forward to over the coming weeks:

1. Daddy comes home from his 6 week deployment!
2. Mommy gets a promotion!
3. The Marsh turns one!
4. Our 1st Halloween!
5. Marshall's 1st trip to the museum!
6. Marshall's 1st birthday party!
7. Our 2nd Thanksgiving!
8. Power Outages!
9. Road trip to Michigan!
10. Our 2nd Christmas!
11. Sickness and Disease :(
12. First words!
13. More sickness :(
14. Moving on up in Gymboree!
15. Extreme Couponing!
16. Back to the gym!
17. Mommy signed up to run a 5K!
18. Putties!
19. Scentsy success!
20. Life organization in 2012!

Not only that but I still have some fun updates to post about the summer when Marshall went on his first camping trip!

So there you have it! As the blog construction begins, please forgive any broken links or pictures that you might find!

Poor Baby :(

We get all the way to Michigan and then The Marsh wakes up on Monday with a fever and gunk leaking out of the corner of his eyes. What a way to start his vacation! He spent all day Monday coughing with a fever around 100. Everytime he woke up from a nap his poor little eyes were sealed shut from the gunk. Poor little guys was so tired all day.


Marshall


So on Tuesday afternoon we took him into the Walk-in clinic to get checked out. Of course, he is all smiles even though he feels bad. The first thing he wants to do is push around the IVR cart.


Marshall


He was so good when the doctor came in to examine him. He sat patiently while she listened to his back and checked his ears.


Marshall


The prognosis: Double ear infection :(

So he is now on Amoxicilan for 10 days, which he apparently loves. When we prepare it in the syringe he grabs it and sucks it down himself. Makes it easy for us!


Marshall


Day 2 of the antibiotics and we were feelig well enough to reorganize Grandma's cupboards!

What a Month!

So we've taken an unexpected hiatus from blogging.  So much has been going on that has taken up our time.  I haven't even been able to download pictures from my computer since October!  We've had a homecoming, 1st birthday party, viruses, sinus infections, work drama, Thanksgiving, walking, power suges, frozen pipes, and hurricane baby!

We're in Michingan this week for the holidays so hopefully I will have some free time to get things organized so we can start posting again.  Especially since Grandma is here to keep The Marsh occupied!
