Ty is sick again, another cold. Poor peanut. He's got a pretty runny nose and a persistent cough. I was going to bring him to get his flu vaccine today, but I think I'm going to reschedule. I know that it's not contraindicated to get a vaccine when you have a virus, but I had my flu shot last week and had 2-3 days of that icky, coming down with a cold feeling. That would feel awful on top of a cold! I was also hoping to get him Flu Mist (the inhalation one), and I think with how stuffy he is, it wouldn't work too well. Let's hope for a great nap today!
Last weekend was busy and fun, and it went waaay too fast. It was my short weekend (only 2 days off), and they always fly by. We went to a party at Chris' sister's house Saturday night, and then Sunday we had church, lunch at my parents', and before we knew it, it was time to go back to work Monday morning. I also had six hours of call on Saturday and didn't end up having to go in! I never know whether to be happy or sad when I don't get called in. On one hand... the call-back pay is VERY nice! But on the other hand, it's good to be able to stay home with my little family.
Tyler's third birthday is coming up very soon!! About two more weeks. We are planning a special party for him. Ty knows he's having a "farm/tractor party" - in his words :) and he asks me every day when it's going to be time for his party. I'm trying to come up with a good idea for his birthday treat at school. They are peanut-free, so that makes a lot of things a no-go. I'm thinking about those Lofthouse cookies - the treat must be store bought. I'm going to have to check if they are peanut free!

weekend recap
This has been a fun and busy weekend! Here's how we spent it!
Friday I had the day off of work. It was a "Mommy and Tyler Day" as my little one puts it! We cleaned house in the morning, and then the carpet cleaners came by in the afternoon. Our carpet looks so nice and fresh! They did a very good job. They even gave us a small discount which we used to Scotchguard our living room carpet. Friday night we were going to go out, but decided we were all too tired and just stayed in instead! Sometimes those are the best kind of nights. And cheap, too!
Saturday Tyler and I slept in a little bit, how wonderful! Chris woke up early and puttered around in the garage and over at his parents' house. Ty and I did some laundry, baked our bread for the week, and had a very nice, relaxing morning/afternoon. In the evening, we had a wedding to go to! Tyler had fun over at Grandma R's house eating chicken nuggets, playing in the sandbox, and watching movies! Chris and I had a great time at our friends' wedding. It was very beautiful and a fun night out.
Sunday, we got up and went to church. Tyler was a bit sleepy and was fairly cranky, so after a quick bite to eat I got him to lay down for a nap. In the afternoon, we had a family reunion with some of Chris' extended relatives. It was fun to meet some members of Chris' family (2nd and 3rd cousins) and catch up with the rest of the family! This evening has been laid back. I'm even thinking about going to bed early... unheard of for me! I have become such a night owl!

it's been awhile!
I've decided to try my hardest to keep a blog detailing our family life. I've always loved to write. I think that as time goes on, I will enjoy looking back and being able to recall memories that might otherwise fade into the background! Here's a general update on our family.
Tyler, our almost three-year-old, is a fun and busy boy. He loves Thomas the Train, tractors, anything farm-related, and candy! This past summer, we have had the wonderful opportunity to spend time camping! Tyler has become quite the little camper! He likes to dig in the dirt, go swimming in the lake and pool, go on boat rides, and sleep in his cubby bed in the trailer. He also enjoys Saturday mornings at the lake when we go into town for breakfast and shopping. One of the jewelry stores has a Gold Mine "tunnel" that Tyler begs to play in! And we always have to go to the kids' consignment shop. But most of all, he loves all the extra time he gets with his Grandma and Grandpa! When we are working, Tyler goes to a nearby preschool/childcare center. He just LOVES school! He's learning so much. He can sing his ABCs, count to twenty, he knows all of his colors, and is learning to pick out letters that are written. We are very thankful for the care Tyler receives while we are away at work! We are working on potty training, and so far so good! We are very excited about Tyler's 3rd birthday party next month. We decided to do a farm/tractor theme!
Chris is doing well. He has gotten back into guitar playing this past year. He bought two new guitars! He is still an avid hunter, mainly hunting deer and geese right now. He had a very fun goose season and has been enjoying grilling goose breast for dinner. He's been keeping very busy this year keeping up the grass and yardwork at our house and over at his Mom and Dad's property. He was able to fix up his Dad's lawn tractor this summer, and it is now running beautifully! It's very special to Chris because it was used in the 1992 Indy 500 and was a treasure of his Dad's.
Megan (that's me!) - I'm still working at the hospital, odd hours still! It really works well for our family. I'm a bit sleep deprived, but sometimes I'll sneak a nap in with Tyler on my days off! I've recently learned how to bake bread from scratch, that has been a very fun new hobby. This summer I've taken up knitting again. One of the skills I'm working on is knitting in the round. I also enjoy keeping the house, and am always striving to be just a little bit more organized! My new motto is "a place for everything, and everything in it's place". It's a work in progress. I absolutely love being a Mom. Our son is my prize and joy!

lovely.
Today was an exciting day for Tyler, he had his first haircut! His baby hair was getting a bit long in the back, so he went in for a little trim. He looks like such a big boy now! He had such little hair for so long, this was a big event for our family. He did very well, hardly any crying. He fussed a bit with the clippers, but all in all was a good boy. I'm a proud mama!
I am really looking forward to Saturday. It's my Spa Day, one of my Christmas presents from Chris. I'm going to have a pedicure, a facial, and a massage. It's going to be wonderful!!! Can't wait. Then in the evening, we're going out with Chris' family for his Dad's bday.
Tomorrow is back to work. I am really loving my new job/schedule.
Did I mention that Tyler only cried for about a minute tonight when I put him in his crib? This new routine is WORKING!!! And he's sleeping better, too... we're going on 5 nights of sleeping from 9:30pm-8:30am with very minimal waking during the night. We are happy with this.

Weekend recap
Well, our new sleep routine seems to be working!!! Each time we lay him down, Tyler cries for a shorter period of time. He also seems to be sleeping better at night, with less waking. We are very hopeful that he is learning. He is such a little cutie when he wakes up, so happy. I love waking up to his little oohs and aahs!
We had a great long weekend. Chris and I both had the day off on Friday, and we lounged around the house. For New Year's Eve, we went to a party at Chris' sister and her hubby's house. It was 80's themed which was very funny! I haven't seen that much blue eye shadow and spandex in quite a while. I had to wash my hair several times to get all the Aquanet out!
We also had our new couch delivered! It looks so nice. Thanks to Chris and my brother Travis for all their hard work moving things around. Unfortunately, our old couch would not fit downstairs (or upstairs for that matter), so to the donation place it went.
Today was lunch at Mom and Dad's. I picked up a 4 hour block of call for work, and didn't get called in at all! Pretty sweet. Tyler took a 3.5 hour nap... he must have been tired!
Well, the holidays are officially over. It's been a wonderful Christmas season. We have been blessed with lots of time with family and friends. I am very excited about the year to come ... the birth of my first nephew, a vacation to Arizona, plenty of time at the lake, my little brother's wedding next fall, Tyler's 2nd birthday, and so much more. Life is good!
