So Far Behind!

AAAhhh. I refuse to let blogging become like scrapbooking in that it is so easy to fall behind and get really overwhelmed! So, I'm going to be upfront in what I need to write about....
• Weems/Toscani wedding in Philadelphia
• My mom's quick visit to Ohio
• Thanksgiving in Avon Lake
• 4th Annual Kaczka/Weems Chili-Cook-Off
(guess who took home first prize?!?!!!!)
• Radio City Rockettes and Christmas Crafting with Kellie Kraven

So, that is 4 posts, right...I'll try to knock them out soon. The wedding is really unacceptable because it was so long ago...are Aaron and Lara even newlyweds anymore?!

To jump ahead to the present, Connor and I are with Brian in Michigan for the week! He has had to travel to Grand Rapids to help with various projects in this area for the past couple of weeks and has to come back again next week, so we thought we'd tag along so Brian doesn't have to miss most of Connor's 3rd month. :)

Last week (after Thanksgiving) Connor was sick...poor guy. He caught some sort of virus/bug and had a rough few days. He had a fever on Sunday night and was vomiting up most of what he ate. Of course soothing a sick baby is a very tough task, especially when he just wanted to eat, but then whatever he ate would just come back up. I ended up taking him to the doctor just to make sure it wasn't an ear infection or something like that. He checked him for dehydration and looked him over pretty good. He said it was just a bug and would hopefully be gone soon. Sure enough, it took a few days, but he was back to being himself again. One of the nurses warned me that he might get a cold after the bug....well, it has arrived. It hit in the middle of the night on Saturday night and you could just hear the congestion when he breathed. :( I've gotten pretty good with the bulb syringe now and am able to suck some of the gunk out, but he still sucks a lot of it down on his own, so although he can't tell me, I bet his throat is scratchy. Although we have a really good humidifier at our house, that doesn't help us much in a hotel in MI! So, we'll likely try to pick up a cheap one this evening. Hopefully the humidifier combined with the "vapor bath" and soothing vapors night light that we already have plugged in, he'll be able to shake this cold soon.

While we are in town we hope to visit Santa and maybe take a dip in the hotel pool (only if it is warm...we aren't going to torture the baby who already had a cold!)
