A Little Bit of Everything

Just a few fun photos from this month...

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

A few weeks ago Uncle Vince treated Jeff and Mad to an Angels' Game! Maddox was very excited and made sure that he and Daddy took their baseball gloves just in case one of the Angels' sluggers hit one into the nosebleeds.

Batmen

Should the plural form of Batman be "Batmen" or "Batmans"? And did the real Batman ever use a Light Sabre? And does it make the aforementioned Batmen less tough if one of them is wearing his mommy's flip-flops on the wrong feet?

Just For Fun

Jeff has spent hours and hours over the last few weeks scanning old photos onto our computer.
I was trying to figure out if Maddox looks more like Jeff's kiddo pictures...

or mine. But, I think I've decided he's a nice combo! I'll say he favors his father. Lucky kid.

How Do You Spell "Overcommitted"?

Well, good news. I'm not dead. We're alive and kicking over here! I just managed to get myself way over-scheduled so I had no time to blog or breathe. Tonight is the night for blog posts. When we get home later tonight I will start the many posts I need to do. Stay tuned!

Goopy Eyes

The first indication that something was wrong was yesterday morning when Maddox cried all the way to church. He usually loves going to church, but yesterday, he started asking us to take him back home as soon as we walked out our front door.

A nice, sympathetic mommy would have turned that car around and taken him home for a day of pampering and rest. I'm usually more of a "rub some dirt on it and get back in the game" kind of mom, so I ignored him. Oops.

This morning he woke up with green goopy eyes. Time for a doctor visit! As soon as the doctor walked in the exam room this afternoon, Maddox announced, "I have goopy eyes. I need medicine to make it all better." Turns out, Little Bear has pink eye in both eyes, a nasty fever, and an ear infection.

So he did get some medicine to make it all better. Three medicines, to be exact. And, as retribution for the fact that I ignored his pleas, I also made him a strawberry-banana milkshake and let him have his pacifier all day. I'm not sure if this is enough to get me back in the "good mom" column, but it's a start.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Mommy,

Daddy and I love you very much! I thank God for blessing me with a strong, sweet, courageous, caring, loving Christian mommy. Thank you for putting Daddy and me first... and always doing it with a smile. I hope you enjoy your gift! You deserve it!

We love you. Maddox and Daddy

Mother's Day is now easier since Maddox is older. Finally I can get a second opinion on what to get Jenny. Here is a little background on the Mother's Day video. Maddox is sitting on a massage table at a local day spa and, since it is a women-only facility, the really nice girl offered to take him back to show Mommy what she was getting and wish her a Happy Mother's Day. He was such a champ. The bag next to him is Jenny's gift card for an hour long massage.
