Home from Pennsylvania

Hi everyone,
We made it home from Pennsylvania tonight. I was hoping to upload pictures, but my camera is tucked away in one of our bags, and I don't feel like unpacking them all to find it. So, for tonight, my words will have to do. :)

Parker is sick. He started running a temp tonight (101.4) but otherwise he is acting normally. I just put him down to bed, so I'm quickly making my way that direction too. Who knows what the night could bring...

Tomorrow I'm taking Jackson to story time at the Stow-Munroe Falls Public library and then headed to Zumba at the Y tomorrow night. Other than that, our family plan is to get some cleaning done around the house, unpack bags, laundry, and finish my information policy brief which is due on Tuesday. A grocery list and a trip to the store would be smart too!

Hope all is well!

With love,
Anna

A Crazy Few Weeks

Hi everyone,
I'm so disappointed with myself that I haven't updated the blog in the last few weeks. Things have been insanely busy and crazy. Here is the quick update:

Parker has been terribly ill. He was hospitalized at one point (while Ryan was out of town in Alabama of course) and has been back and forth to the pediatrician so many times I've lost count. The short story is that he is allergic to milk protein, peanuts, and possibly soy and eggs. So, I have had to cut all of that out of my diet so that it doesn't get to him through the breastmilk. We've also started him on a reflux medicine which seems to help. It was so scary though because he had terrible explosive diapers and had blood in his stool and was vomiting blood. I'm so thankful he is finally doing better. This is a picture of Ryan feeding him a bottle in the hospital once Ryan finally made it home to join us:


Jackson has been doing very well. He's walking now!! He walks all over the place and is actively getting into everything. He has become so independent! We went and toured a school for him earlier this week. Hopefully he will begin next week! Here he is being mischievous (as always!)


About two weeks ago, I "painted the rock" on campus with the Kent's student chapter of the American Library Association for Banned Books Week. The rock says, "We Read Banned Books." I felt like such a delinquent...it was amazing!



We're all in Pennsylvania right now with Dad Scho visiting Mommaw, so hopefully I'll have some great pictures for you tomorrow!

Sorry again for being a slacker. I'll do better!

With love,
Anna
