Two Pirates and a Princess: November 2009

Saturday, November 28, 2009

Our house has been the infirmary for the past week. Last Friday Ed went to the doctor and was diagnosed with H1N1 (yes, Swine Flu). Eamon and I spent the weekend at my parents house trying to keep him away from H1N1. Eamon was a little cranky over the weekend, had a low fever on Saturday, but was fine on Sunday. Monday I took him to day care and when I picked him up that afternoon he was burning up. Tuesday morning I took him to the doctor and sure enough, he had H1N1 and an ear infection in both ears. He got prescriptions for Tamiflu and an antibiotic. He's feeling much better now.

Camping

We went camping two weekends in a row. The first trip was with our Young Families Group from church to Nocalula Falls in Gadsden. The second trip was to Lake Guntersville. We had a great time both weekends. Here are a few pictures from the second weekend. I forgot to take my camera on the first trip.

More Pictures

You can see on the right side of the page that I added another link to a Picasa Web album. The first album filled up so I got another one.

First Day of School

On October 5 Eamon started school and I started my new job. It was a hard day for me, but Eamon had a great time at school. After the first few days, the novelty of day care wore off for Eamon and he caught on that this was permanent and he was going to be there all day. The second week was pretty rough and on Tuesday afternoon I got a call that Eamon had a fever. He was out the rest of the week with an ear infection. So the next Monday it seemed that we started all over again. He had a few bad days where he cried nearly all day and it has progressively gotten better. He still cries when I drop him off, but the teacher I drop him off with, Ms. Debbie, is wonderful and takes great care of him. She is only his morning teacher, his teacher gets in a little later. Ms. Debbie tells me she has to hide from Eamon because he sees her and he wants her throughout the day. He seems to be having a good time. They have even gotten him to nap every day, without putting him in the stroller. What a good boy. Here he was on the 1st day of school, nearly 21 months old.

My new job is going well. I have settled in and am enjoying it. It has been nice to see all of my old coworkers and hear how much I am missed. I miss them too!!

Train Museum in Foley

One morning Ed dropped mom and I off at the Foley Outlets and he and Eamon went to the train museum.

Pizza and French Fries

When we were at the beach we went out to eat and on the children's menu was pizza and french fries. Eamon's two favorite foods. He was in heaven!!

Lots of new posts

Sorry I've been away from the blog world so long. I have uploaded a bunch of pictures from the beach and the fire prevention parade. Look for more posts this week including camping, Halloween and a day care and new job update.

Thanks for checking in on us.
