Fox, Katie & Nadine in 2016: Week 16

Day 106
We went to the Zoo with Fox's friend Lucy!

Day 107
Longest three hours of my life...going over kitchen remodeling plans and picking cabinets and countertops. And no, those are not the cabinets we picked. Katie loves this kind of stuff and has amazing design taste, so I pretty much let her choose whatever she wants. #HappyWifeHappyLife

Day 108
Fox woke up with a single red mark on his belly, which quickly developed into this. Two Urgent Care Visits later he was diagnosed with an amoxicillin Allergy (that he had to take because of an ear infection). We started benedryl, which didn't help at all, so after another visit at his regular doctor he was put on steroids. Which had terrible side effects. It's a week later and while most of the spots and the itching is gone, we are still dealing with some health issues and hope he'll be better soon!

Day 109
Fox loves to go out to eat. When we pulled up to the restaurant, he yelled: "Dinner, thank you Mommy, for driving!" It was so cute. He didn't want to have anything to do with us though and sat at his own table...haha. 

Day 110
He insisted on putting this hat on.

Day 111
Fox's 3rd dentist visit! He had fun playing his first video game (Mario Cart) while we were waiting. The controller didn't work, but he thought he was really driving and made all kinds of "vroom vroom" sounds. 
After he had seen three doctors within the last few days, he about had it and totally lost it when the dentist came in to check his teeth. Luckily, everything looked awesome and we also learned, that he is currently getting his back molars, so we'll have a few weeks (or months) of misery ahead. 

Day 112
Love this kid! Reading books in our bed and cuddling each night before bedtime is my favorite part of the day!

    Fox is so adorable! I love reading about your week. You seem to have a lot going on in your daily life. I admire how well you have been juggling everything. My son also have allergies to some common medications. It can be very stressful when he gets sick. Remember that there is always something that they can give him to help!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
