Lately

I took Crue in to see the dr. on Friday because he wasn't acting like himself and had a fever.  Turns out our little boy has bronchitis. He was on meds all weekend but he is still wheezy and doesn't have the energy he normal does (which is kinda  nice because he lets me hold him).  I really hope he starts feeling better soon though because it breaks my heart to see him sick. 

 he may have just hit his head on the corner of the wall... oops

Orlando, FL

One of our gifts for Christmas was a trip to Orlando!  We had a lot of fun at Disney World, Universal, Kennedy space center, shopping at the outlets, going on an air boat tour of the everglades and laying by the pool.  We decided to not take Crue since he's still a little too young for something like this.  I missed him terribly (we were gone for 8 days) but it was nice to have a little break from being a parent 24/7.

Christmas

Christmas this year was one of the best so far.  Having friends over for an ugly sweater party, family parties every weekend, Christmas shopping for the little boy and spending time together....I couldn't have asked for anything more.  Christmas morning my family came over for scones and to watch Crue open his gifts.  Later in the morning we headed over to the Morrells for more scones and to open more gifts! Needless to say Crue was VERY spoiled.  Unfortunately I was busy enjoying Christmas to take many photos :(  I only got a few at our house and none at the Morrells (Katy I know you have some so you need to send them to me).  Here's what I have:

 I know what you're thinking... he's too young for a guitar...but nope, it's still one of his favorite gifts and he will go in his room and "play" for us

 He LOVES his bear and will go in his room and give it snuggles.  It's the cutest thing!
