I am still feeling pretty down about having to cancel our Christmas plans with my family. Of course I know it was necessary due to Adrianna’s RSV, but I still cannot help but feel very disappointed. I was really looking forward to having a full house and seeing my family. It isn’t very often that […]

Initialize the Nebulizer
I just had to take that quote from Jeff’s earlier comments. Here is an example of a Nebulizer. Instead of a mouthpiece, we have a mask that Adrianna wears due to her age. Apria Healthcare brought the unit to our door on Tuesday (in their big Apria Healthcare truck) and demonstrated for us how to […]
A Toddler’s Work is Never Done
As I have mentioned before, Adrianna is a great imitator of everything she sees Greg and I do. Here she is, busy at work on the “boh-boo” (computer). And making an important call on the “tsa-tsa” (telephone). Oh, and by the way, I have finally updated our photo gallery with pictures from November and December.
White Christmas
Well, the snow stopped this afternoon, leaving behind great snowdrifts and nice weather. The snow in our backyard is now almost one toddler high. The numbers for our city this afternoon showed that we received 34″ of snow. Even though she is sick, I just had to let her outside (all bundled up of course) […]
Helping Mommy
More and more, Adrianna imitates everyday things that we do not even realize she is observing. For instance, we never taught her to throw used kleenex into the trash, but she does it on her own. We never showed her what keys are for, but whenever she gets a hold of mine, she runs to […]
RSV & Canceling Christmas
Adrianna has had what appeared to be a cold for a couple of weeks. Over the past couple of days it started to develop into a deeper cough, congestion, and wheezing. She has also been not eating well and extra cuddly in the evenings, wanting us to hold her for long periods of time. Of […]
Family Names
Adrianna is fond of pointing at various family members in our little household and saying their names. She’ll say “Momma” or “Mommy” as she points to me. She’ll point at Greg and say, “Daddy.” Our cat, Petey, is “Kiki” or “Keey” (Kitty) and Molly is still “Mommee.” She has a word for Chloe too, but […]
Christmas Dee, How Lovely Are Your Branches
Adrianna loves our Christmas tree. When we came downstairs on Sunday morning (after putting the tree up on Saturday night) she excitedly pointed at the tree and loudly exclaimed, “Dee! Dee!” She then had trees on her mind and pointed out most of the trees on our route to church. She has been surprisingly good […]
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Today was the perfect day (other than the baby waking us up early thing.) We laxed around the house all morning. Then we decided to brave the holiday rush and go Christmas shopping, which really wasn’t too bad. The weather outside was beautiful too – in the fifties. We used a small stroller instead of […]
The Price of Sleeping In
Adrianna normally sleeps in until around 8:00 each morning. Unfortunately I do not get to partake of this blessing very often since I often am at work by 6:00. So when Saturdays roll around, I really look forward to sleeping in. (It is funny to think that back in my highschool and college days I […]
