Shame on me!

So, I'm a bad blogger these days. No Not Me Monday's...two in a row, I think! Annnnd worst of all - I forgot to post AND take pics on Avery's 13 month birthday. Wow. I wonder if it's because she's a year old now, so it feels a little different. Well, if it was, then it was done subconsciously b/c I surely didn't mean to. Whew - what a week at work! Thanks to Obama every homeowner in America feels entitled to lower rates and payments. In other news, we had a pretty good week. On Saturday gran-gran and paps were in town so they came to babysit Avery for an hour or two while we went to Target and out to eat. Paps was complaining of back pain but we figured it was either a kidney infection or he pulled a muscle. But after he got home he noticed bumps in the places where the pain was. They think that it is shingles (like old ppl chicken pox). So I was a little bit freaking out at work Monday morning because Avery hasn't had 12 month immunizations, which would've included Varicella (for chicken pox). Avery is on a delayed vaccination schedule b/c I didn't feel comfortable giving a tiny baby the same amount of immunizations that a normal baby gets. So we're 2 months behind. Anyway, I was really concerned until I was reminded that the vaccination for chicken pox didn't even come out until 1995. We all had it when we were little, and we all lived. Now, that's not to say I won't freak out a little all over again if she gets little red spots in a week and a half!


On Monday nonna and poppa came and played with Avery while we did, yet some more, shopping. I think Charlie is trying to create his own stimulus plan by spending all of OUR money. :) In other news, I am SO excited about MckMama's latest blog entry. She is having a MckCruise!!! It is in January leaving from Texas and my mom and I are going to plan on going! My dad gets reallly seasick and wasn't too pumped about the idea of a cruise. And Charlie and I have already been together, but mom has never been. What a perfect idea - Avery will be 2 by then, old enough to stay with dada, poppa and maybe some help from Gran-gran. So, I will get my cruise after all!

Well since this blog is super random I'll add to it - Avery got her last Synagis shot today. I got the EOB from the insurance company for the shot last month - a whopping $7,000.00! I was SHOCKED. Hopefully we will be good to go and as soon as April 1st comes we will even get to go on an outing every once in a while! :) 35 days and counting...


I figure as long as we're trapped in the house, we might as well have Oreo's!


Her pouty face - can'tcha just see her at 13 looking at me like that?!?


Watching Pink Panther with dada...



What a beautiful little girl we have!




Showin' off her Squeakies!

The goal: to grab the cord from the treadmill...


...and EAT IT! Mission Accomplished.

Hi my name is Susan, I couldn't help but notice you joined my blog too. I don't know if I know you, your face looks so familiar but I can't remember ever meeting you. But I have seen you on Amy's page. I used to be married to her Step brother several years ago. I always thought it was funny because she had 2 Avery's Mommy's on her list of friends.
Anway, I was just going to share that one of my friends 13 year old daughter came up and stayed with my stepdaughter and she had this rash like under her breasts. Well they weren't sure what it was, i think they thought it was poison ivy, anyway it wasn't getting any better so she took her to the doctor and guess what, the shingles on a 13 year old. Who would have thought? Well it wasn't but about a week later and my Avery had the pox, she was only 5 months old. Of course being a first time mom I thought it was horrible that my baby had the chicken pox, but all in all she didn't get that many places. I pray that your little Avery doesnt' get them but sometimes they say it is easier on them the younger they are. Oh and last year during VBS my daughter got them again, and guess what I DID TO. I had them when I was 3 and then again at 40. how funny.
You have a beautiful little girl and I can tell you love her as much as I love mine.
