Let's Get Back to It!

Well, after about a month long hiatus from the land of blue ducks, we are back to catch up on the holiday craziness and exciting times of entering 2014. Everyone is recovering nicely from the great holiday illness(es) of 2013 and bouncing back to normal for the moment. Here's a quick recap and update:

Matty: He was sick from Thanksgiving through Christmas, peaking with his combo kick of pneumonia and bronchitis. We are happy to report that he hasn't coughed in over a week! Hooray! He is back to his happy, healthy self! More importantly, he is extremely excited that his birthday is a mere 2 weeks away. Matty is soon to be 5!

Juliet: Juliet was sick off and on through November and December. Right before Christmas, she was diagnosed with strep for the 200th time this year (ok, not really, but it certainly felt that way). After some bloodwork and a trip to the ENT and more dr visits, Juliet will be having those pesky tonsils removed in February. At least she likes ice cream.

Mommy: Spent the better part of December/holiday season cleaning the house constantly and running to the dr every other day. Back to the regular routine of work and a messy house.

Daddy: Spent most of the last month working and shaking his head at all the mayhem going on around him.

Daisy: She lives quite the good life here. Always has lots of playmates and special treats. Admittedly, she was placed on probation last week after she destroyed one of Juliet's stuffed animals, a little people (person?) toy, and a bumblebee bath toy. We were testing out whether she was ready to sleep upstairs with us at night time. She failed the test.

Stay tuned for rapid fire posts ahead....

Fa La La La....Oh dear....

This picture pretty well sums up our day...

Matty has bronchitis and pneumonia (diagnosed after his chest x-ray this morning), Juliet has strep. Everyone is crying. Matty is coughing. Hope the strong antibiotics kick in soon and get everyone healthy for Christmas!! (Please ignore the open case of Bounty paper towels. Mommy hasn't had a lot of time to clean up the past few days.)
