Early February


Well, here we are another 2 weeks after my last post. I'm really hoping life will settle down, and I'll have more time to write down all the little stuff that I want to remember.
After my last post, I got to spend the weekend away at my ladies retreat. Unfortunately, Jonas was suffering from a stomach bug that passed through both Troy and Reef while I was gone. It wasn't the most relaxing weekend away since I was worried about all my guys. Oh well...maybe next year...
Jonas had his 3rd ear infection last week. I wasn't surprised since the ENT saw fluid in his ear the week before. I was amazed at how quickly it seemed to bother him, though. One minute he was fine at playgroup, the next screaming inconsolably. Luckily, we were able to get him into the doctor the same day. If he gets another infection, I think I'm going to push for tubes. Let's pray this was the last one!
Last weekend, the boys and I took a 4 day trip to visit my mom in Conroe. Our main reason for taking this trip was so that Troy could gets TONS of work done and maybe have an easier week this week. He definitely held up his end of the bargain and worked 48 hours over Thurs, Fri, and Saturday. The boys and I enjoyed visiting Gigi, Grandma, Grandpa, my dad, Mimi and Poppy, and Mr. Don. We didn't get to see Aunt Taylor and Jacob this time but hopefully will see her soon. We spent Friday at the mall with Grandma, playing in the play area and riding the carousel. Reef loved his orange bunny, but Jonas was not a big fan of the moving pony on the carousel. Saturday was spent at the park with Gigi. Reef loved all the slides and climbing, but Jonas was more interested in the giant helicopter at the VFW next door. Helicopters are his favorite thing right now.



Yesterday, we took Reef for a big boy haircut. Troy and I tried trimming his bangs a few weeks ago, without great results, so we thought it was time. I can't believe how different my baby looks now! His friend Jayden didn't even recognize him at Ladies Bible class today! Reef handled the haircut okay with a few freak outs when she sprayed his hair. The end result is worth it though...

Troy seems to have work under control (finally!), so we're looking forward to a 4 day weekend this weekend. Who knows what we'll do, but it'll be nice to all be together. I'm hoping to finally get a haircut of my own.

3 more weeks until we find out the sex of the baby! I've been feeling better the last couple of days and haven't thrown up in a week, so let's hope this is the beginning of the good times!

I just discovered your blog- so glad because I opted out of Facebook since I was starting to spend a little too much time in front of the computer! Love the haircut- he looks like such a big boy. Hope you guys have a very enjoyable long weekend...can't wait to hear the gender news!

Love the haircut--he looks so grown up!

Glad things are slowing down for Troy at work!

Can't wait to hear what you are having, I think it will be more like 6 weeks until I find out.

I love the picture of Jonas and his static hair, so funny. Reef looks so grown up now. It's funny how a haircut does that to little kids. I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. It's always nice to have that part over with. Hope you guys have a good weekend!
