2007

Happy New Year! We have a couple of resolutions for the new year, like eating less sugar,not so many trips to the ER, you know, the basics....Oops, no such luck!

Let's begin with a wonderful date night minus the 3 hours of sleep we got before the cows "mooed" us good morning. (It seems we got the worst bedroom in my brother-in-law's house.) Billy and I decided before hand that we would pick up the boys from my mother's house where they spent the night and I would get to take a nap first while he "watched" the boys. Question: why does the dad of the house seem to always be able to catch some z's no matter where, when, or what is going on around them? Needless to say, Billy's naptime was uneventful! Anyway, they were playing XBOX in the living room when all of a sudden, Tanner is screaming! I come out of the bedroom to see this.
Tanner was wrestling with dad and came up and caught the corner of the coffee table with his eye. It isn't cut,just scraped and already turning black. Which leads me to question #2: why do these such accidents happen the day before a pediatrician appointment? We are innocent, but it seems every appointment, we are armed with a new story, and a true one too! Luckily, our pediatrician has 3 boys of her own and she gets it.

So much for Resolution #2 Not As Many ER Trips in 2007. Aye yi yi!
