Hello! This blog post is coming to you from Steven, Sammy and Amaya’s 39 year old mother. 39! We had a wonderful birthday celebration. I woke to birthday balloons, we relaxed at home and then all went out for a frozen yogurt adventure.
You’d think that our kids would love the chance to eat sweet, tasty frozen yogurt but not so much!
A wonderful day. It’s so nice to finally start getting out to enjoy the sunshine.
Especially after the week we had! Everyone in the Land of Cheltenham has been siiiiiiiick. On Wednesday, we finally went to see our pediatrician. Steven had a fever on and off since Friday night and couldn’t seem to shake it. My poor Bobo!
I should also mention that I was so proud of myself. I called the pediatrician from work and made the appointment. Megan was all set to take the kids to the doctor on her own. The first sick visit I’d miss! But she couldn’t find the car keys. Because they were in my pocketbook. With me. At work. Best laid plans. I guess the kids need their mommy at the doctor.
Even though there were now two of us, we took the whole gang because Amaya had a persistent cough and Sammy was getting sick.
Good thing! Both Steven and Amaya have their first ear infections. We have antibiotics and we’re all slowly on the mend.
And even with the colds and ear infections, everyone was still able to have fun this week!
This week we’ll start with Amaya who still loves her cubby and standing and is the sassiest little girl I know.
Mr. Sam Man
Showing Megan his ears. Everyone is learning body parts. Head, ears, nose. So cute!
Sammy looooooves seeing himself on the phone screen.

Sleeping babies. I love taking photos of my sleeping babies!
And, finally, I left the Land of Cheltenham for a night to go to Washington D.C. for The Military Child of the Year Awards. Where I connected with my new BFF – General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
We have a big week ahead! Tomorrow, we’re 15 months old! On Tuesday, Grandma Sunshine is coming for a visit and, at the end of the week, we have our long awaited visit from Grandpa Homey and Grandma Betsy!!
Joanna I missed your birthday. I’m so sorry. Glad you had a great day. Happy Birthday….late!!
I love all the kids smiling and exploring and choosing books. I know that Grandpa and Grandma are so excited to be heading to Michigan to see those darling little ones. I’m sure I will hear all about the kids when they get back.
Thanks Bonnie! We’re all excited to see Grandpa Homey and Grandma Betsy later this week!!
I don’t comment often but you should know I look forward to reading your posts and oohing and aahing over these gorgeous babies every Monday morning on my way to work. I’m sure it’s not possible to have any better a birthday than spending it with these little delights but I wish you a happy (belated) birthday all the same!
Thank you, Stephanie! That’s so nice to hear!! We really need to catch up soon. 🙂
