Happy Birthday Ryan Dear!

Happy Birthday to one fine young man! Turning 35 yrs. old is only the beginning!

In celebration of Ryan's Birthday today, I borrowed a friend's idea and came up with some fun words to describe my wonderful husband on his very special day . . .

January Wrap Up

It is hard to believe that it has already been a month since this new year started. We have been busy, busy. Starting back to work full-time has been quite the adjustment for me and the gang! At least I don't have a stressful or time-consuming job. Thank goodness!

Here are some fun shots of Miss B from this January. She has finally started to take a few steps on her own! Walking won't be too far off! She is funny and silly and we are enjoying all of it.

Oh how we can't wait for winter to be over. We really hope that Phil the groundhog doesn't see his shadow next week! Spring, where are you? Please come soon!

Allergies, Ear Infections, Rashes and More . . .

Poor Miss B! After what we thought was just the beginning of a cold a few weeks back then turned into a double ear infection, high fever and then some funky rash! The first antibiotic wasn't working so they switched her to a more powerful drug. For more than two weeks Miss B has suffered with all this junk but is NOW finally feeling oh so much better! We have been blessed that she is now 14 months old and this was her first real sickness.

Suffering from severe allergies since moving to TX last August, Ryan FINALLY went to see an Allergy specialist (thanks J&J for the recommendation!) He is pretty much allergic to all things green, flowery and plant-like - in all seasons! Ryan came home from the Dr. and told me he was allergic to TEXAS and we would have to move. Ha.Ha. Not going to happen. Instead he will just get allergy shots for the next year to help cure him of all this junk!

We are looking so forward to February and all it will bring!
