Pinkeye

Earlier this week, Madelyn was diagnosed with a double ear infection and pinkeye.

And this morning I woke up with pinkeye! Painful and disgusting!

Happy 40th!



This weekend we celebrated Jason's 40th birthday! Madelyn and I were really excited to give him his birthday present.

Those of you who know my Jason, he's a car and NASCAR buff, so for his special birthday, his dad and I got him a Richard Petty Driving Experience for the end of March. That means Jason will get to take a class and drive 8 laps around the track at Kansas Speedway in a real race car! He'll drive behind a pace car going about 135 mph. He also gets to do a ride along where he'll ride in a car going 165 mph!

Jason is always so great about getting me awesome gifts that I'm thrilled his dad and I can do this for him.

We also put up the Christmas tree.


Madelyn was kinda curious ... about the tree ..


... and the cake

Thanksgiving

Wow, I realize how pathetic I am. I haven't blogged since writing about Halloween. Geez.

Well, we've been dealing with illness again in our house. It's been pretty common this year since Madelyn started daycare. She gets something and it gets passed around the house and then she picks something else up and the process repeats itself.

The week before Thanksgiving it was stomach issues and migraines for me. Thanksgiving weekend it was ear infections and strep throat for Madelyn.

But we did have fun in North Platte with Jason's family. We stayed with Jason's mom, and boy did Madelyn LOVE having so much space in which to crawl. She was all over the place, pulling herself up and chewing on the numerous giraffes Sue has at her house.







Madelyn enjoyed playing with bubbles.


And sitting at the table with Mr. Giraffe


Enjoying time with Grandpa


And getting her nails filed by Grandma


We had to make a trip to Urgent Care on Saturday after Thanksgiving - at which we were told her high fevers were a result of ear infections and strep throat. So we got some meds ... and discovered when we got home that the dosage we were told to give her was more than double the correct dosage! Poor thing. She finally started feeling better on Wednesday. We're happy to have our little happy girl back!

OH, and here's a family pic!


This weekend we have Jason's office Christmas party and his 40th birthday party! Can't wait for him to learn what we got him for his special birthday. :)
