We had a great time visiting my family back in Wisconsin this past month along with the wonderful cold and snow. 2 days after arriving in Wisconsin I had to take Owen into Urgent Care because he wasn't any better. He ended up having a respiratory infection and the croup returned. So the first week I was there we were pretty much taking care of Owen and not getting a lot of sleep. He started to get better a couple of days after the steroids and antibiotic were done (a week and a half). Brynn just loved playing outside in the snow and riding on the snowmobile. Her vocabulary grew each day we were there and definately loved making everyone laugh. Brynn and Owen loved playing with each other and at times Brynn was the only person who could make Owen laugh.
Jared, my brother, was down in Florida from December 21-December 30 for the Champs Bowl Game. It was kind of weird not having him home for Christmas but being on a Division 1 football team that is how it works. At least he got a couple huge christmas presents from the University and Bowl! He got a $575 Best Buy gift card and a couple extra hundred dollars in his pocket. Boy why didn't someone tell us that earlier in our college years! Brad should have gone to play for a Division 1 football team ;)
While we were there Owen grew up from a baby into a little toddler. He now drinks from a sippy cup, eats puffed rice or cheerios, crawls or scoots, waves hello and bye-bye, pulls himself up on things to his knees and stands up in his crib, walks holding our hands and even took a few quick steps on his own with no help! Our little baby boy now weighs 22 pounds 9 ounces and just turned 7 months old!
Brynn finally cut thru all of her eye teeth leaving her 2 year molars the last to come in, but you can't really see the eye teeth since they take forever. Literally they are only in about 1/4 of the way.
Brad and I were able to sneak in 2 dates in the 10 days he was there and it was much needed. We saw Sherlock Holmes one date and then Christianos Pizza for some amazing Italian food the other date. Brad enjoyed his time outside riding the snowmobile, cutting trees down, and hunting.
As for me, I just enjoyed relaxing, spending time with my family, and the temporary cold and snow :)
