Brody Lately

I feel life has been in a whirl wind lately. The month of June and these first weeks of July have been super busy. Well on June 4th, Brody started daycare. I was so nervous the night before I barely slept. Brody was in home daycare that was ran by my sweet friend Jessica. With all the changes that happen in life it was time for Brody to be able to interact with more kids. The first day was awful. I cried all the way to work and called twice to check on Brody and see how he was doing. He did cry on and off most of the first day. Brody is very shy around new people and it takes him a while to open up. His teachers have been so patience and loving with him. I think it took him a good two weeks to get adjusted to the new routine. I love picking him up from daycare because i go in and get to watch what he is playing before he sees me, when he does see me he comes running for me to pick him up. It just melts my heart. For the last week has not cried when I drop him off, but has started to get excited. I wish with all my heart that i could stay at home with Brody, but i know he is well taken care of and has a great time at school.

Brody had his first case of RSV on June 24th. On Friday Brody wasn't acting like himself. Saturday he still acting fussy and was drooling alot. He felt warm so we took his temp several times and the thermometer showed no temp. I gave him some Tylenol that afternoon anyway because i thought he might be teething and he perked up. While that night came and Brody got a cough and coughed all night long. Well we got up Sunday morning and headed to the Dr ( I am so thankful our Dr is open on weekends! ) When we got to the office his temp was 102. I knew he had a temp but our horrible thermometer was not working right. I felt so bad!!! The nurse did let me know that the forehead thermometer they use was on sale at Walgreens for $50.00. So we picked that up along with some more infants Advil & juice. It reads the temp in like 3 secs, it 's wonderful, some of the best money we have ever spent. The Dr. tested Brody for strep and RSV. So he had to to have a thoart swab, nose swab, and finger prick. = (  Well the results came back RSV but Dr. Hoy said his lungs sounded good and he should be fine in a few days. Thank goodness B's fever broke late Sunday night. Chris stayed home with him Monday, and i  stayed home Tuesday and Wednesday. He went back to school on Thursday feeling  much better!! I hate when my little fella is sick but thankful i could be off with him to help him get better.

Fun During Our Extended Break From School

We have been enjoying ourselves during this extended summer. During Covid-19 school was done by packet/ online, dance by zoom and soccer was cancelled. Well thankfully we have finished the school year out. The kids had amazing teachers and we were so sad the year was cut short with them. Soccer and dance have started back up so the kiddos are excited to have their activities back in person.  During our time at home with no outside activities we had fun and accomplished lots. First we all found a show on Disney plus we all enjoyed, I remember it being on when I was a teenager. Now we are watching the original show that created the spin off series we finished.  Chris and I found a show we really enjoyed on Netflix, I can't wait for season 2 to come out. We also swam and played outside. We visited the bamboo park and also planted flowers ( that are still alive! ) I hope you all have a wonderful week! Hope 

4th of July Traditions

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. For us it just consists of simple fun and traditions with our family. We have a few traditions that we always do with the kids that I hope they remember when they are grown up.  Glass Bottle Cokes and The Sandlot Glass Bottle Cokes were always a staple at my Maw Maw's house growing up. She had a bottle opener on the cabinet under her sink. I spent lots of time with her growing up and a glass bottle coke will always make me think of her. Plus coke tastes better out of a glass bottle. We also always watch The Sandlot around the 4th, I can't think of a movie that describes summer better.  Patriotic Shirts We always make sure we have red, white, and blue to wear on the 4th. Of course this Mama has to take pictures of her kiddos in their patriotic clothes. These are a few of my favorite from previous years. 2017 2019 My husband also loves to grill out. One of the yummy sides we usually have is corn...

First Day of School 2020

 On Monday my babies started back to school. In these uncertain times we had different options on how we would begin school this year. We could do virtual public school, go back to the traditional classroom, or homeschool. At this point my husband and I decided that it would be best for our kiddos to be back in the traditional classroom. There isn't an easy choice about school in these crazy times. Our school is smaller, they are wearing masks, and taking social distancing precautions. We have prayed about our decision and feel we did what is best for our family. I am praying for the parents out there that are having to make choices about what to for school this year, please know I respect whatever choice you make and I know it's not easy.   How did my babies grow up so fast!?! Brody's first last day of elementary school. 4th grade Evie's first day of 2nd grade.  I hope you all have a wonderful week! Hope
