Ok so it's been exactly 6 months since I've blogged (and 6 months since I got a Facebook account...coincidence, I think not....).
Tyler turned 2 on February 13, 2011. I can't believe how fast he's grown. He is such a joy and so wonderful. It's been a lot of fun to be his mom so far. He can already count to 10 with no help (and can count to 5 in Spanish), he's learning his colors, letters, and even sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Erik and me last night before bed. We are so blessed to have such a cute, happy, smart boy.
This week has been SO crazy! Monday was a holiday so we all stayed home. We were dog-sitting this week for a friend and got to play with little Noodles all day long. We laid low and didn't get much done, it was a perfect end to the 3 day weekend.
Tuesday and Wednesday went by with a blur. Lots of work, lots of play, and even fit in time to visit with friends. Wednesday night Erik was told to expect an official job offer from Microsoft in the next week or so as Senior Project Manager in the Global Pricing Division. We are so excited and again feel so blessed to have the opportunity to move on to a new chapter in our lives. (Big understatement).
Thursday of course was day of crazy snow and freezing cold weather. We stopped by Julie's house to have a little playdate with Evan, Daniel, Emma, Caleb and Parker which Tyler LOVED. Then we had sushi lunch with Mandy and Cameron (yum). I of course was working intermittently all day from home which is never easy (good thing I have awesome Jaime to cover for me at the office).
Grandpa (Erik's dad) stopped in to visit while passing through on his long-haul truck driving route. We were going to have a relaxing evening at home until I noticed Tyler's eye was starting to look a little red. I had thought he'd been pulling at one of his ears a couple days before so I immediately called and made a doctor appointment. I made it for Friday morning, but called right back and changed it to Thursday night (Mom guilt, couldn't make him wait). One double ear infection and eye infection later, we stopped by three pharmacies before finding the medication we needed. Have you ever heard of pharmacies being out of antibiotics?!?!? Poor Grandpa got dragged through all this with us when he probably just wanted to hang out on our couch. :( He was a good sport.
Erik got home from work, started working on replacing our electric stove with a gas range (including drilling holes in the floor to install a gas line) and I overcooked dinner. So I started over (first time using a pressure cooker to make pork tenderloin. Not so tender at first attempt).
It all came together and things worked out.
This morning, Tyler's eye is so swollen that we had to cancel everything and stay home so he can get better. We are going to Great Wolf Lodge (an indoor water park and hotel) on Monday so we really need to get well for that!
Hopefully the snow melts soon and the weather warms up so we're not stuck inside for too much longer!
