we're still here :)

if any of you are friends of mine via twitter or facebook then you would know we have the sickies at our hizzie. no fun :( just when i think mason is on the mend and getting over his cold......he gets sick again! ugh!
spring.get.here.asap!
please and thank you :)

this weekend was my final straw this this whole sickness thing. mason decided he wasn't going to eat. nothing. nada. zilch. sooo frustrating for a momma, but especially a newbie momma! talk about not know what to do! it's not like i have gone through this before to know what is going on! i thought one of two things:
1)teething
2)ear infection - therefore hurting his jaw, therefore not wanting to suck

so i got on the horn with the doctor's office and talked to our nurse and told her all his symptoms. she proceeded to tell us that she would like us to see the doctor in the morning. luckily husband has a very flexible job and can take mason in because i am out of sick days at work because of my maternity leave.
come to find out, mason has a double ear infection. awwww i could have cried!
i'm glad that i finally called to get in to see the doctor.
i didn't want to be a overly protective mom, but i also knew something was wrong, mason just wasn't the same. the one thing about this parenting gig is that it is such a guessing game! i guess i need to get good at guessing what is wrong :)

thanks for letting me vent........feels good, oh, so good :)

i hope to be back to the blogging world in full swing once i get my little bear all better :)

embrace the camera: march 23 {daddy style}

this weeks embrace the camera is from one of my husband and i's favorite spots to go to in the spring.
not to mention he asked me to marry him here! :)
a place where you can go to set your mind and spirit free.
a place where you see pick-up trucks parked side by side.
down by the river to roast mallos and weiners.
a place where our kids will look forward going to.

this was mason's first trip to the cabin down by the river.
mason and his dad are going to make many memories here together
cheer's to husband's first memory of him and his first son by the river :)







i love my boys with my whole heart!
