Down With the Sickness

Well our little guy is on the mend and acting like his normal happy self but this week was a rough one for little eSmallz. He's been battling what seems to be the standard-issue upper respiratory infection all the kids around Hanscom are currently rockin'. Won't complain though because one of the little girls in his room came down with bronchitis and pneumonia last week!! Poor little thing. Easton's sickness started on Monday and he finally just started acting like himself this afternoon. Threw the co-captains for quite the loop I must say. We did a well orchestrated dance of each working half-days and tagging the other out each day around 10:00 AM. Thank goodness for understanding bosses...and VPN connections!! So glad that Easton's feeling better though...my heart's been breaking for the little dude all week...though I managed to score some MAJOR cuddles from the little cutie. Crappy circumstances but what a wonderful feeling to know he felt better being close to mommy :)

Not feeling well at all :(

Snoozing while supervising Mommy

Hey, hey, everyone!! I'm back in the game... 
Feeling sooooo much better :)
And I think I know what helped boost his spirits...Christmas in January!!! Yes, that's right, we had one last round of gifts from Santa (Grandma Jan) that made their way here from the North Pole via Minneapolis. We got super spoiled with some great Vikings and Gopher gear...and my favorite were Easton's "SLP" orange slippers! Thanks so much, Grandma Jan...you really spoiled us!!!

Check it out - Christmas in January:




Thanks, Ma!

I'm speechless...I mean, those slippers...
once his feet get bigger he's wearing them to school...
don't care if it's the middle of summer...

 
Not quite 100% yet but at least you can see
his eyes...improvement (Saturday morning)


Love!!!

This one's for you, Dad :) That a lot of purple, I know...

Gopher slippers...with pom-pons on the left
and the "M" on the right...

Rae even got a gift...though we haven't seen it since this picture
she loves to bury new toys

New hat and scarf! Thanks, Jan :) Now all we need is some
snow around here
So that's about all I have time for today...yea, I know, not my best work...but gots to study for another ACSC test coming up on Tuesday. Work's been so nuts that I'm a bit nervous about this test. C'mon 70%!!! If I pass my reward will be a visit from Uncle Jeff on Friday...and if I fail I'll be consoled by Uncle Jeff this Friday!!! Win-win ;) See you soon, Jeffey... g'night all :)

Introducing...Easton Douglas Anders!

Easton Douglas Anders - 3 days old More pictures @ http://www.our365.com/ He's here, he's here!!!  Jace and I welcomed our son Easton Douglas to the world this past Saturday, April 16th at 4:22 PM and we couldn't be more proud.  It was an awesome experience...not so much in the "incredibly cool, can't wait to do it again" context but genuinely in AWE of how mother nature and modern medicine can work together to ease a woman and efficiently deliver a baby.  Before I tell you all a little bit about our story (again, no worries, I won't blast all the nitty gritty across your screen) I must say a HUGE thank you to our staff at Winchester Hospital.  Though I know not a single of of those doctors, nurses and other staff members will read this they will forever hold a special place in our hearts for the outstanding service and love they showed all three of us!!  They exceeded any expectations Jace and I might have had and just had to throw that out there. ...

My Bachelorette Weekend

Jace has been in MN since Thursday braving the cold with  Team Franchise at the 2011 US Pond Hockey Championship .  The team made it to Sunday again this year but unfortunately couldn't get by the "Pulled Hammies" this morning to advance to the finals.  Better luck next year, boys! :( So, since he's been gone I've been catching up on projects around the homestead since it's been so damn cold outside.  On Thursday night I scanned in about 80 old family photos that I had received over the years from my Aunt Kathleen.  I decided to do this because I'm building an online baby book for mini-Ma$e and you can add pictures - thought it'd be fun to add some old family photos.  Anyway, I won't overload you with too many but here are some of my favorites...the rest can be viewed here . Moving on... Friday started off with another snowstorm - excellent.  Hanscom was open for business...well, that is, for everyone ex...

Trunk or Treat 2013

We just got back from Trunk or Treating at Easton's daycare...how flippin' fun (and pretty roarsome as Henry Hugglemonster would say). Mr. Blondie waiting for the trunk or treating to begin! Still figuring out that the chocolate must be unwrapped first. No hurry to explain :) Homeless Lion with a Market Basket bag. Score one for the parents. Some pretty creative pumpkins!
