Mustache man

Arthur got a mustache out of one of those vending machines one day at the Chinese restaurant. It wasn't the right style for the ideas we had, but the pics will still make you laugh. We were going for Tom Selleck--Magnum PI in the Hawaiian shirt and a Mexican with the sombrero and the oversized baja hoodie that is swallowing him whole. Turner didn't like wearing the mustache so we didn't get too many shots. But I thought you might like a laugh---

Little man's running a fever right now. He got sent home from school today and I'm waiting for him to wake up from his nap so that we can go to the doctor. I'll post an update once I get a diagnosis.

hello darling, nice to see you, it's been a long time!

Sorry it's been so long. This pic is of Turner at his first Thomasville High football game. Arthur's got some funny shots of Turner wearing a moustache, but I don't know when he'll ever get around to editing them. Hopefully, by the end of the month, we'll have some of Mr. T in his Halloween costume. He's going to be a zoo keeper this year. We're starting off this fall season just like last year: lots of snotty noses, coughs, and random fevers. Hopefully ear and sinus infections will not be the norm again this year. My migraines have gone from once a year to once a month. I'm going to start documenting them to see if I can figure out what is triggering them so often now, so that maybe I can find a solution for preventing them. That's all the new stuff I can think of right now to share. I just knew I needed to get something on here, since it's been almost a month now since my last post. I can't promise that it will get better, but I'll see what I can do!

18 month wellness visit

Went to see Dr. S. yesterday. Almost 34 lbs and almost 36 inches. Way off the growth chart this time. Dr. S said he thought that since he had finally slowed down at the 15 month visit that he would start plateauing more, but NOPE! He's higher than ever on the chart. He said he was in the range of a 3 year old. He asked about vocabulary, which you know concerns me, so I said "How many words should he have by now?" The dr.'s response was 10 words, so I said, "We're ok then, I counted between 50-75 the other day." We've battled chest congestion this past week, but the doc didn't find any ear infections or cause for concerns or need for medicine. And we've been making progress again in the potty training dept. All thanks to prizes and special stickers. We'll go broke buying cheap gifts from the dollar store every time we use the potty at school or go more than 4-5 times in a day at home. But if they're working, then I guess they're saving us money on pull-ups in the long run. Hopefully I won't be writing blogs this week about another sickness we've contracted.....

have new pics--need time to upload

Week 5 of school--I've been up every night for a week and half with Turner--teething and now coughing. Now I've got the crud myself. If we don't have a better night tonight, then I guess we'll be calling the dr's office. And I am supposed to be singing this Sunday. We'll see about that.....We have pics from August and some from our fishing trip with "Baw-Baw"(it was supposed to be Paw Paw but Turner doesn't have a "p" sound yet) on Labor Day. Arthur's new camera doesn't make the pics the right size anymore for this site, so I don't know if he's converted them yet. But we do have some to show you if you haven't already seen them on facebook. Sorry there's not more to share with you right now......
