Nebulizer




Evan had to visit the doctor for the 2nd time in 2 weeks the other day due to his bad cough. Mommy noticed his breathing was rattly and garbled and the pediatrician confirmed it was very garbled when she listened. She gave him a nebulizer treatment in the office and it helped clear his breathing. She then sent us home with a nebulizer and a prescription for Albuterol and Evan has to use the nebulizer every 4 hours while he is awake to help with his breathing. He is using it like a champ! Most of the time, he can hold it himself!

A Christmas Kind of Day

Today we ventured to mommy and daddy's hometown, Salem, NH, to the Christmas parade. We were a bit early so the kids played a while before the parade began.

Evan had a crush on Lilly!

Katie and Nathan enjoyed the parade as much as everyone else!

The start of the parade......Evan's FAVORITE....Fire trucks and Ambulances of course!!

Evan was waving and talking to everyone and everything that came by! Certainly a difference than last year's parades!


Even Cody got to come along!



The parade wore him out...took him 3 min. to pass out when we left the parking lot!

When we got home, we decorated the Christmas tree, listened to Christmas music, and decorated the house and outside for Christmas!


It was a very Christmasy kind of day for sure!! Tis' the Season!!

Thanksgiving 2009



We had a great Thanksgiving Day! We hosted it again this year. In the morning we started a tradition by watching the Macy's Day Parade on tv. Evan really enjoyed it! He saw Sesame Street, Shrek, and broadway musical performances. He was so excited, he got his own drum set out so he could play along with the music!


Matt carving the turkey!

Mommy made uncle Joe's birthday cupcakes as his birthday is coming up soon! We sang to him too!

Evan is letting his cousin Jacob borrow some of his baby toys as he is getting bigger now! He loves the new toys!

The pets seem to love "B Joyce" ...yes, Evan calls his great grandmother B Joyce!

Everyone hanging out!


Evan and Jacob in baskets....classic.

Hope you all had a great Turkey Day!!!

Mommy and daddy had an AMAZING week in Aruba!!! We totally needed it and we had a blast! Warm sun every day.....snorkeling....a party bus tour.....dinner at nice places....celebration of Matt's birthday and our 5 year anniversary! We also made some new friends! So peaceful and relaxing!

The Excellent Adventure!


While daddy and mommy went to Aruba, Evan got to stay at home with Nathan, Katie, and grandma!
Such bonding time they had!

Evan had run of the house and Cody has his fill of food....silly dog broke into the fridge 2 times and ate a lot of food!
