Just touching base...

Well we have had a pretty uneventful week. We got the car back from the shop and it looks great.

Natalie's ear infection seems to be finally clearing up, she has one more day of medicine and then we hopefully are done! I will keep you all updated as I am sure you are sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to hear about Natalie's ear infection.

Natalie, by force, made some new friends this past weekend.

Christian, my bosses son who is 8.



And Eleanor, her parents are good friends of ours and her mother was there when Joe and I met. Elle in this picture (last Saturday) was 2 weeks old.



Talk to you all soon.

What did you do that for Daddy.....

The look that Joe got right after he bumped the car in front of him on Monday. He had just picked up Natalie from daycare and was headed to the doctor, for yet another visit about her ears, and while turning on to the main street he tapped the car in front of him. Other than a bruised ego everyone is fine. Apparently Natalie felt that it was a good time to fill her diaper. So poor Joe was not only having to deal with exchanging insurance information he had a kid to cart around that smelled like poop. All I can say is better him that me.

Here is the picture of the car after the accident.


Well that is all for now. Maybe the next time I post Natalie will no longer have an ear infection.... then again maybe y'all will want more pictures before she is 2.

Have a great week!

Swimming

Well Natalie was in the pool over the weekend. She was not so sure about it but she did not cry. She did not smile by any means either. She put her face in the water, by force, and was splashing around. She lasted about a half hour.

Joe's brother was in town this weekend as well. Natalie loved him. He has facial hair and she just thought that was great. Between that and his deep voice she was in heaven. She would smile and laugh whenever he was holing her. You would think that of all the pictures that Joe and I take that we would have gotten one with the two of them but we didn't. I will be emailing Rick's girlfriend to see if she can send me one I know she took some!

Nothing else is really going on around here so here are the pictures from the weekend.

Things are getting better

I think that Natalie after a little over a month is finally over her ear infection. She has now been on 4 medications and I think the last one was the ticket. In addition she has also been put on Prilosec, just like her Dad. This in combination with yet another new formula, the least expensive on the market mind you, has decreased her spit up tremendously. Not a new kid yet but she sure is getting there. She finally had her 4 month shots yesterday. We had to wait until the ear infection was cleared up before giving her shots. She slept the best she has slept in a while last night and was in her crib the whole night. Joe and I did not sleep well, too quiet! I think that we both were up 2 times to check on her.

Well last weekend we went to Louisville to see Natalie's Great Grandmother. It was a treat for all. On Monday my mother brought her up here to Indy so that we could have the 4 generations picture taken. It was blazing hot but I just talked to Heather our wonderful photographer and she said that there are very few bad pictures. Natalie apparently hammed it up well. Here are a few pictures that Joe was able to take over Heathers head.








This weekend will be another first for Natalie... She will get to meet her uncle Rick. Joe's brother will be coming out from Connecticut for the weekend. I am sure that we will have a lot of pictures from this weekend so I will post more when I get them. Natalie will get to go in the pool for the first time!!!

Have a great week.
