Mr. Myles eating lunch

I just had to upload this picture from last monday on Martin Luther King Jr. day - Myles' daycare was closed and we didnt' want to sit at home all day so we went to work and ate lunch with a group of ladies...Mrs. Capin was having her 68th birthday (she's the wife of a man who works there and has been friends with Billy Graham for many many many years). Myles was such a good boy and so cute...i just couldn't get him to smile for this picture though.

chocolate Myles

the picture is a little fuzzy because it's taken from my cell phone, but it's dark chocolate letters spelling out 'Myles'. Not only is it chocolate, it's chocolate from France! At work we have a couple of people that we are partnering with to start an Internet Evangelism website through the BGEA, which is really cool...but I always help them with their schedules etc. while they are in Charlotte, so they bring me chocolate! And...since Myles can't be with me at work during the day, I thought I would bring him to work...by spelling out his name :)

cheese

This picture was taken sometime a couple weeks ago when I was playing with our new camera. For the longest time I've been trying to teach Myles to say 'cheese' for the camera and sometimes I'll take a picture with him and he'll say cheese but then when I look at the photo his face looks like the normal "I'm ready to do something else now" look. But this time he actually did "cheese" for the picture and has the cheese face! The funny thing is, it makes him look different - it looks like a fake smile, haha.

January 2011

I haven't been able to do a blog in a while and honestly I didn't really think anyone was looking at it, but I'm happy to know some people actually miss it.

Luckily we've been able to avoid sickness in our house this winter...until the end of December. Myles got sick right around Christmas, then I got it and was sick during New Years. A week or so later, Myles got really sick with a high fever and was totally not acting himself so we took him to the doctor and got horrible news, "one of his tubes is coming out of his ears and there's an infection behind it." I was devastated because even though Myles' ENT doctor in Boone told us his tubes didn't really do anything I think they did something...they kept us out of the doctors office and his fever gone. So now, who knows what's going to happen, we may start that cycle over again...but I'm choosing to believe that it's not going to happen.

Myles finally got over his cold and after a week of antibiotics he seems to be better....except this evening his nose is running and his temp was 99 degrees and he had some goop in his eye earlier today....and Luke has felt sickish all week.

as i alway say...tis the season
