Too Long!

OK, it has been a while since our last post, but we do have a good reason. My son's best friend Samuel has gotten very good at sharing and gave Dante Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. Sounds terrible, and it is. Poor little man got a horrible rash on his hands and feet and blisters in his mouth, on his tounge and in his throat. He wouldn't eat for 3 days, finally we took him to the doctor who told us that we should give him Ice Cream BEFORE food. You can imagine why Dante LOVES to go to the doctor. So now that the blisters are gone, we are trying to explain why he can no longer have ice cream and popitals (popcicles) whenever his little heart desires. So far no HFMD for Camille - we shall see. And life goes on.

Must be a Monday Thing

After an amazing first time away from my beautiful children, I guess we are ready to get back to real life. Sam and I spent our 5th Anniversary at the Hotel 1000 in downtown Seattle on Friday. Tutu and Grandpa (or Grandpatutu as Dante calls them) were nice enough to fly in to spend a sleepless night playing with our children.

We had a wonderful time, even though Dante could barely take 2 seconds away from Sesame Street to say goodnight when I made my one allowed phone call. Thank You Tutu and Grandpa!!!

Life back to normal today, a baby with a runny nose, a toddler who loves to say "Dante do it" and work, work work.

A first attempt

OK, So I am new to this whole blogging thing, I have had the blog for a while and have finally decided to give it a try. Not sure how often I will be able to post but I will do my best.

Dante and Camille are both over their colds and feeling better, we cleaned out our garage yesterday and have a trailer in the driveway waiting to be filled and driven to the dump (thank you Matt and Angela for letting us borrow the trailer).

The holiday season is dying down, Tutu and Grandpa will be here on Friday...our 5th wedding anniversary and Sam and my first night away from the kids (yes, ever, if you don't count when Camille was born).

I guess that is it for now...we will try to post again soon.
