Two in a row!

We didn't do too much today. Just stayed inside and took it easy :) Ashamed to say however, that even though we were home all day, we still have yet to take down the Christmas decorations! Its just hard to do with Peyton up, and now that he's down I just don't wanna :) I'll work on it tomorrow!
Made some fried potatoes and philly cheesesteaks for supper. The potatoes turned out alright even though I used a little too much oil. Peyton's appetite is back in full force and I'm amazed how much that little belly can hold. I didn't want him to eat all that grease, so I made him one of his toddler chicken stew dinners. He doesn't like it when we eat something different from him, he keeps peering over his high chair at our plates to see what we've got :)
Well, not much else to write about so I'm going to go clean the kitchen and finish watching American Gladiators. Hope everyone's having a great weekend! Take care and God bless!

Been awhile!

Back again! Guess a post every four months is better than none right? ;)
We're slowly getting back to normal from the holidays. Its been crazy! Right after Christmas Peyton came down with a rare virus that caused huge red blotches all over his legs and feet. It also causes kind of an arthritus for babies, so he was in so much pain he couldn't walk for most of the day. I've never been so scared or prayed so hard. But, the Lord is good, he started walking 20 minutes after Mom put him on the prayer chain! The marks are almost gone, the few left have faded into light bruises. There is a chance of kidney and intestinal damage associated with it, but so far we haven't seen anything to indicate that he has that. The doctor hasn't seen anything like it in 12 years. He was so concerned that he called personally to check on him. I took him back in Thurs. and the doctor was amazed at his recovery. He'll have to have his urine checked at his fifteen month appointment next month, but other than that he doesn't need anymore follow up! Now that he's over the virus, he's cutting at least four teeth at once! Poor guy can't catch a break :)
We had a wonderful time over the holidays! We spent Christmas in Arthur with my family and had a great time! We celebrated with Roy's family here the weekend after, and New Year's eve we were so exhausted we shut ourselves in at home! Peyton, in spite of everything, has still been learning new things everyday and is constantly cracking us up! He's starting to hide toys, pacifiers and bottles all over the house and keeps coming up with crazy new dances. I finally got some new pictures sent out tonight and we're going to try to have some done somewhere soon. Well, I'm going to try to make it through a whole movie without falling asleep! Take care everyone and God bless!
