D o you have Facebook? If so, all of the fishing pictures can be found on my profile there. You can click the badge above to get there. I haven't been online much this week. In fact, I'm probably going to be on a little blogging hiatus for a bit. I will still be posting sporadically, but there are t...

Little Emily, my five month old just recovered from RSV, a very serious respiratory illness. She's been better and then over the weekend she took a down turn again. She has been coughing horribly. The thing about this little girl is that it's hard to tell when she's sick because she is such a happy ...

When my baby sister was little she saw more hospital rooms than any child should ever have to see. She underwent countless hours of testing, multiple operations, and days and days of hospital care. We were fortunate, the hospital wasn't too far from our house. We were able to live at home during thi...

I hate it when Turkey Butt is sick.  I take full advantage of the snuggle time,. but I hate it when she runs a fever and is nauseated.  It’s just never any fun.   Remember the good old days when we could feel comforted as parents knowing the cold medicine we were giving our kids was helpin...

I used to play softball. I was pretty good at it. I played pitcher and short stop. Of course, this was back in the era before fast pitch. I pitched when it was slow, arched and underhand. As good as I was at defense, at fielding the ball and getting the out, I was never good batting. Even with slow ...

We know that Miguel Tejada is supposed to be Public Enemy Number Uno these days — "E-60" certainly thinks so — but he had his Superhero moment this weekend, hitting a home run he'd promised to a kid with muscular dystrophy. When Miguel Tejada met 8-year-old Jacob Scott on Friday, he was ...

          Bear has a double ear infection.  10 days of antibiotics and hopefully, he can go a good 6-8 weeks without another infection, since we were just in on February 8th for an ear infection in his right ear.  I'm not 100% anti-tubes, but I am not friendly...

The Wednesday Night was hard, with barely any sleep as I was too worried about Little A having a fever. Giving him amoxicilin for his ear and tylenol wasn’t doing the trick and since this was roughly his first real time being sick he was scared. All day yesterday he was the same, as a groggy m...

Tonight I am counting my blessing that both of my boys are tucked into their room sleeping soundly. Both are now on antibiotics, and one is just back from from a four day stay in the hospital. A week ago now I was just coming back home. I went out to meet Laura to get some fabric for flannel blanket...
