Big Truck and Other Stuff

First things first...yes it has been a while since I have posted anything, but lets keep in mind that I am in my mid-thirties and mother, wife, and working woman. My life isn't exactly making headline news. Unlike my cousins who are going to Maine for romantic vacations and shopping in Georgetown. Yes, there is a hint of jealousy in my voice but I promise to live vicariously through them:)

So, since I last blogged we have had more snow. Because of this snow we lost power for 7 hours one Sunday. You would think having a brother that works for Consumer's Energy that wouldn't happen. NOT! Anyway, you should have seen John-John's face when the Consumer's Energy truck showed up. I should mention that a two year old can not speak perfect English and in our house "big truck comes out as "big &uck" with an F. Very embarrasing in public places. Below, are some pictures of the big event.

On another note, John-John has been fighting chronic ear infections. One frustration, is that he shows no signs of an ear infection other than a change in disposition. However, this week, the little man spiked a fever so we knew that the ear infection from last week hadn't cleared up. I took him to see the doctor and this time they gave him a shot of antibiotic. This shot was HUGE. I would have cried. By the next day, he was feeling better and tormenting the dog as usual. Here is a picture of John-John at his worse.











Notice the rosy cheeks. Not a good look on a two year old.









By the way, John-John won't officially be two for 30 days but since he has gotten a head start on temper I figured I would too.
