103.5...and still going...

That was Sam's temperature today. It was scary. Tylonel and Motrin wouldn't even help the fever go down. Off to the doctors we went...nothing looked bad. Ears, throat and lungs all sounded fine. Hopefully we'll have a better night tonight than last night.

We got a...

OFFER! Only hours after we were assigned a MLS number we received an offer. The couple came for a showing Thursday afternoon and put in an offer Thursday night! Brad and I went to counter offer last night and are waiting to hear the buyers decision. We will hear from them before 5:00 p.m. tonight. Kind of exciting. We have 4 more showings this weekend and Monday, so we are staying optimistic about the whole thing. More comments to come...

FOR SALE

It's official! Our house is now up for sale with a realtor. The sign isn't up yet, and the MLS has just been released as of 7:00 a.m. this morning and we already have a showing tomorrow afternoon AND I had a visitor appear at my front door asking if this was the correct house. Of course I didn't let him in, but I answered his questions. Keep your fingers crossed for us as we will hopefully get some action in the next few weeks!
Our MLS: is: 797499

12 month check up!

Today we had Sam's 1 year check up!

Dr Paley said that Sam is growing nicely. He is 22lbs and 2 oz's, 29 1/2" tall. She was very impressed that his walking abilities are turning into short runs! We had blood work done and had 3 shots and 1 flu shot. Of course, it was the end of the world for Sam, but he survived and walked out of the office with his chest out and head high, waving good bye to everyone, as usual. We go back in a month to get his second "boost" of flu vaccine.

Until then, we hopefully won't have to go back.

Naughty Sam...

Getting ready for winter!

First time eating pizza!

And Yes...those are curls...FINALLY!

Friday at School...

Well, I'm happy to say that today was a completely different day at school. I picked up Sam and he didn't want to come home with me. He was too busy playing with Allison's belly button! All the teachers said he had a great day today, and they were so happy to see him happy. They went outside and played for a majority of the morning and ran wild! They also said that they were able to get Sam down for a 45 minute snoozer (per Brad's request) which made all the difference in the world. Let's hope that this positive day will result in a great weekend!

Changes at School

Today was a hard day. Now that Sam is 1, he has graduated to the Teddies room at school. Today was his first day in the new room, and to say the least, it was awful. I did my normal pick up at noon, only to hear his screams echoing down the hallway. I was hoping it wasn't Sam, but sure enough, I walked into his room and he was miserable. His eyes were swollen shut and he had been crying for hours. When I went to pick him up, he was shaking and had a very hard time catching his breath. I was irate. I asked the teachers what happened, and they just said that he had a hard day. Well, for a mom, that wasn't good enough, and I was furious. I collected his things and left. I've never seen him shake like this before...he was shaking all the way home. When we got home, we cuddled for a while (which he NEVER lets me do) and we sang songs, had a bottle and finally he snapped out of his dilema.

A while later I called the school. I spoke to the lead teacher and she said it was a tough day for him and she thinks he will get better as the weeks go on. She assured me that nothing out of the ordinary happened, he was just tired.

I'm still very frustrated, and am upset at the fact that we put him through this.....
Until Friday, when we go again.....
