Aaaah!

This new year is flying by so fast already. I have not even posted in about two months. But I do have a valid excuse for January. January 6th evening, I will not forget. I was coming home from a girl's get together when I started to feel really bad. I ended up saying I was getting the flu and decided to not go to the doctor on Friday. Instead I just got sicker and sicker that weekend that when Monday rolled around I thought I was going to die. I made an appointment first thing on Monday and found out I had a raging case of strep. At the same time, Guen was sick with a virus/cold and when ended getting her tested for strep too but luckily it was negative. Unfortunately she stayed sick for about two miserable weeks of not eating and fevers. In fact we took her to the doctor two more times just to make sure something was not wrong with her. She lost almost 2 pounds off of her little 24 pound body because she was so sick. Then about during this time Ryan got really sick. This is when I am so lucky and thankful that my parents live close. We were both so sick that some of those days they had to come and take care of Guen. Ryan ended up having a raging ear infection. It was so bad that he could not even make it through the weekend and went to an urgent care clinic and got some antibiotics. Poor thing, he was sleeping with an ice bag/heating pad to his ears cause it hurt so bad. It really felt like we were all never ever going to get better. I am happy to say that this month has been much better. And now I am finally getting around to posting. This past weekend I had off 4 days, starting with Thursday. I took Guen to mother's day out. I hurried home and cleaned up the house and made lots of food. That took up my entire 5 hours that I am free of my 1 year old. Picked her up and called it a day. Friday, I met my sister for lunch at her favorite place Empire Turkish Grill off of Memorial. Guen was an angel the entire day and so well behaved. Why does she do this around others but not when she is with me? Anywho we went to the mall where I actually bought myself some clothes, yes myself some clothes. And we called it a day. You can see from the pic below how worn out Guen was with her day with her Aunt Tootie. Saturday I went to the grocery and made some dinner and we had the Homer's-Chris, Aaron, Sarah and Kate all over for an early dinner. We played a lot with Guen that day since it was such a nice day outside. Anyway see pics of the fun below. Today, Sunday was our usual go to church in the morning and then we had a birthday party to attend that afternoon. Today is Danielle's 1st birthday, our neice, Guen's cousin. We went over there where Guen was so cranky and shy, it was kinda disappointing to see her cousin's having a ball but she just clinged to Ryan or myself. Eventually after cake and when the party was coming to an end, she came outta her shell and playing. Oh well. Back to work for me tomorrow. Hope all is well with eveyone. Love, LIz
