Finally! An update!

Our little man is ONE YEAR OLD.  I can't believe it.  Where did that year go??  At this time last year Trey was in Afghanistan, I had a 1 1/2 year old and a newborn baby.  Stressed out is an understatement.  It was a very hard (yet happy) time for our family.  We really have so much to be thankful for.  Trey is home safe, and we have two very happy, very healthy kids. 
Gabe is so awesome.  Growing and learning more and more everyday.  His newest "thing" is thinking it's HILARIOUS to get into trouble.  The word "NO" makes him crack up.  We're going to have our hands full with this one!

Last weekend I went to Wisconsin with my mom, aunts and cousins.  SO MUCH FUN.  We hung out and had a bunch of snacks and some wine on Friday night while we relaxed by the fire in Aunt Tina's cabin.  Then on Saturday we went to the craft fair (where it was SNOWING!) and then Sunday night we went to a meat raffle and tore up the town.  It was a blast.  The morning after, however, was not.

Sunday I started feeling really horrible.  It wasn't just my hangover from the night out with the ladies.  I had a horrible cough and my chest hurt really bad.  Monday morning I got up and it was even worse.  I had a fever, and whenever I coughed it felt like my chest, ribs, and back were broken.  Whenever I'd feel a cough coming on I'd think "Oh man.... here it comes...."  so I called and made a doctor appointment.  I knew this wasn't a normal cold.  The doctor's verdict?  Bronchitis.  So I have been taking codeine and an antibiotic to help.  I'm just hoping I don't pass it on to the kids.

Two shows that I have been looking forward to aired last night.  At the same time, of course.  Nashville and Chicago Fire.  I definitely liked Nashville a lot more than Chicago Fire.  But next week I am going to have a dilemma.... American Horror Story starts back up... at the same time, also.  Looks like I'm going to be having DVR day on Thursdays!

Well... I'm going to do my daily cleaning while the kids are still napping.  I should probably figure out what we're going to have for dinner tonight, too....
