Cub Family

We went to Wrigley Field for the first time this year (hopefully not the last). It was Mia’s first trip there.

It was Cubs vs Pirates. Unfortunately, they lost 4-3 but they almost rallied at the end. We had a good time anyway. Mia was very good and so was Diego. Of course by the 7th inning, they started: Diego was like “when is it over?” and Mia was missing her nap so she started to get cranky. But we all survived the game and we all left happy. It did help that it was Build-A-Bear Day. The bears were adorable as always.

And yeah, Mia took her nap. About two hours worth. :)

Good-bye March…

To end on a good note, Mia is ear infection free. That was after three rounds of antibiotics. So happy about that.

On to the bad news, Diego has astigmatism. So he will need to wear glasses for a few months before going back to the eye doctor for a follow up. I’m okay with that. Not sure about Eric. He blames me for passing on my genes. =P So we are going tomorrow or Friday to get him some glasses.

Also, I am feeling so much better. I will probably sign up for the Rock n Roll Half Marathon. Need to start running again. Eeeecckkk!

Hopefully, April will be a better month for us.

Sigh…

Not good. Took Mia to the doctor yesterday and she still has her ear infections. The good thing is that the left ear looks like it is healing but the bad news is the right ear is worse. So another round of antibotics with some finger’s crossed tossed in and hope that when we go on March 31, Mia’s ears will be clear.

Also not good, Diego failed his vision exam at school. So we got a referral to a pediatic eye doctor. And the appointment also happens to be on March 31.

Less than three months and Diego will be out of school. Just counting the days. ;)

It’s Only March…

So, it was pink eye. The doctor checked Diego’s lungs and ears which were fine. Just the pink eye. He thinks what ever Mia has, Diego has but instead of ear infections, he gets pink eye. He got eye drops which he has been taking them just fine. I am so glad my kids do not fight meds. If they did, we would in major trouble.

So, back to my title: It’s only March and we’ve taken Diego to the doctor twice (strep throat and pink eye). Mia has gone twice and will be going a third time next week for her ear follow up and her shots (I hope). Eric has gone to the doctor once and that was just for a physical. FIVE doctor visits and it is only the first week of March. I haven’t gone but I have been thinking about since this cold is just going and going forever.

Will spring relieve us from our illnesses? I sure hope so. *keeping my fingers crossed*

Sledding…

Finally!! Diego has been asking to go sledding for quite a while now. Last time it snowed, we weren’t even here. But it has been snowing since this morning so there was about 6 inches to take advantage of.

Plus it was Mia’s first time in the snow so that was fun. She had a good time. Caught her putting her hand/mitten in the snow while I was pulling her. She is using Diego’s little sled while he had the new big boy sled. His sled turned over a few times in the snow but Diego did not mind. He was just having lots of fun. I think we all did. :)

It was dark so not many pictures were taken.

I got to pull Mia. And Eric had the honor to spill Diego every few minutes. :lol:
Sledding!!!

Mia’s 1st time sledding. She had a big grin the whole time she was on the sled.

Bad picture but keeping it anyway. Love the way there is a snowflake on Diego’s nose.

We might go out tomorrow if the snow is still nice. I know Diego wants to go again.

Stomach Flu…

No fun. It is horrible. I don’t even wish this on my worst enemy. Ok, maybe. ;)

Diego started on Thursday night and Friday. He work up with a fever so no school for him. Mia got it on Saturday night. She got fever as well. Thank goodness it was quick and over for both of them.

Then on Sunday afternoon, I started. OMG. I never, ever want to go thru this again. EVER. Few hours later, Eric started. We just kept taking turns in the bathroom. It think it was over about 4 am Monday morning. No fever for me but Eric did have one. I think I need to start buying stock in Tylenol. =P Needless to say, but no work for me on Monday.

Eric took Diego to school. I went back to sleep. Slept 4 hours. It was beautiful man. Eric slept too but no as long as me. My back and throat hurts. I feel like I ran but without the running.

I am back at work. I am not 100% but no more rushing to the toilet. I need to eat but a little bit leary in doing so. I hope I survive today. *sigh*

Lollapalooza 2009…

Here we come! August 7-9, 2009

Eric was able to snatch pre-sale tickets yesterday. Woohoo!!! We have never been so this is exciting. Number one reason we are going: Depeche Mode!!! Love, love, love them. Another thing that I love about Lollapalooza is that kids under 10 are free. So that means that Diego and Mia will be going at least one day.

Little things like that make me happy. Yay!!!
