No excuses here...
This post is not going to start out with me saying anything about how long it's been since I've last blogged, how I really have to make up for lost time, or even that I'm going to do any better from now on. I am not going to make excuses because we have been really busy... I mean really, really busy... And I just haven't had time to blog.
We can start back at the first half of October, with the Georgia National Fair. We didn't have the weather that we were blessed with last year for the fair. We eventually got rained out and just went home. But we did support our local conservatives by buying merchandise, and we were able to get our fried cheese, turkey leg, and corn dogs.
Luke didn't seem interested in much of the stuff that we wanted to look at, but he did love the little chickies. And who could blame him, I wanted to pet the little chickies too... They are just too cute!
Now we can move on to pumpkin carving. Since we knew we were going to be in Minnesota for Halloween, I wanted a chance to do a little family activity before we left Georgia. I wanted to give Luke a chance to really dig into the guts of the pumpkin and get dirty...
He didn't want to do that.
He did however take a few slices that I shaved off the pumpkin and eat them... And I don't mean just taste them and be done... he ate the whole thing.
These are pumpkin seeds.
We flew home to Minnesota and Luke did very well on the airplane. He took a little nap, which is my favorite part or the flight, and we arrived in one piece.Here we are at Lego Land in the Mall of America.
Here is Luke playing with a boat at the children's museum.
Now as you can see... From the picture of my adorable Elmo... We are just about to get too Halloween time. Well, on the evening of October 29th we took Luke for his first time to the emergency room because he had a temperature of 102.4.Luke had the flu... and pink eye.
The next evening Josh developed a fever as well... And pink eye...
I had a sore throat, and a general disagreeable feeling about me, but no fever, and no pink eye.
For Trick-or-Treating we visited all of the grandparents, great and normal, and then we went to bed.
Luke wasn't really sure what he was supposed to do in a pile of leaves...
Luke at Emma Crumbies, in Belle Plaine, MN.There is no real story to go with these photos... They are just some of my new favorites.
Just to make sure we covered all our bases, we had to make one more trip to the ER with Luke before our trip ended...
Luke had an ear infection, in both ears...
When the trip finally came to an end we were tired from being sick, and tried because Josh never really got to stop working, and tired because we knew that when we got home we would only have 9 days to get moved into a new house...But our flight was delayed...
And so we had to sit and wait...
And we used up all of Luke's good sitting and waiting time up in the airport.
Our flight home was in the evening, we were delayed almost 2 hours. Luke hadn't had a nap all day. On the plane he was tired, hungry, bored and hot... And Josh and I couldn't wait for the flight to end.
And to add one more worry and complication to everything we've had to do...We're having another baby!!
I'm not trying to make it sound like a bad thing... It is the very reason we've done most of these things...
Now that I'm almost finished with this post I don't feel like I've told you about even half of the things that have happened.
Like I mentioned, we've moved, and we're so happy that process is over. But I feel like we still have a thousand more things on our plates that need to be done, like yesterday.
Somehow we'll get through it, as a family, we always do.
