So, I just wrote an entire post only to hit a stupid key to delete everything.
Also, does anybody else use the "improved" blogger editor? No spell check on this thing,
are you kidding me? That doesn't fly with me. I really need spell check.
Elliott news
~Elliott's well baby visit was today.
~3 shots (in which he grunted at the nurse afterward). So funny! He was
pissed less than happy with her.
~he weighs 28 lbs 12 ounces. The feeding issue is NOT a concern with the doctor for obvious reasons. He is a monster.
~Elliott ate Spaghetti sauce (A pretty hearty sauce with meat, veggies, and mushrooms) WITH A SPOON! Yay for Elliott! He couldnt stand the pasta. This was a big step for little man. He kept saying "mmmm" after each bite.
~Elliott put himself to bed this afternoon. He tugged at the gate to go upstairs, I followed him up to his room, and he went right to his crib and started this bopping. I put him to bed and he fell fast asleep.
~Elliott is our dog's best friend...
Owen News
~he is making a concious effort to NOT have temper tantrums. He caught himself getting a little hot and immediatly, cooled himself down. He told me that he hasn't had a tantrum in the year 2010 yet.
~Owen wanted to pray for Papa at the dinner table today. He never wants to pray, so this is pretty special.
~He loves his new mattress and told me today "mom, thank you so much for buying this new mattress, I bet it was made in Heaven it is so soft". lol
Andrew News
~He wanted to go to our Neighbor Betty's house today (her husband passed away recently...he was VERY special to our family) and shoveled her driveway. It was so funny, because he would jump behind her car because he didnt want her to see him. He wanted her to wake up in the morning totally surprised.
Here is Andrew after the shoveling...
~his best friend is Granola our dog. I hope this changes for his sake. I can see it now in 6th grade...
"Hey Andrew, who is your best friend?"
"My dog"
Yeah, that doesn't sound too healthy does it?
He is a fantastic dog! We really love him alot.
~he played with Granola for about 45 minutes outside in the snow this evening. The dog LOVES the snow and was not afraid to get covered in it. They both had a blast.
My news
~the only thing consuming my life right now is my back tooth. I have had problems since July, but the dentists can not see anything wrong. I am on an antibiotic for a possible abcess. If that does not go away, they will extract it. Honestly, there are nights that I lose about 4 hours of sleep and during those times, I just want to yank it out myself. If any of you have dealt with tooth pain, you know what I am talking about. Almost as bad as a migraine. Anyway, the pain got so bad tonight that I called the dentist and got an appointment. I am not convinced it is an abcess.
Aaron's news
~He is in California for training. He said it is beautiful there. He mentioned something about using the last of our frequent flier miles/hotel points to go there. We were going to go to Europe, but closer sounds a little more appealing to me right now. Maybe for our 20th anniversary we can shoot for that.
Till next time, this is Crawford News...
