Lucas’ Hospital Stay
Little Lucas gave us a little scare. He had a pretty severe case of croup. As a result, he had to spend 3 nights in the hospital. He was a trooper though. Here are a few images that were taken in the hospital.
Of course, nothing can make you feel better like McDonalds french fries, right??
Here’s the jail crib that he was supposed to sleep in.
Of course, he wanted nothing to do with sleeping in that thing. Although, they aren’t supposed to, the nurses let him sleep in the cot they had in the room for me.
It really was nice to be able to cuddle with him though.
We were finally able to come home Friday morning.
Lucas sure does look better than Dan and I do! I think he was just happy to not be hooked up to any machines anymore. They had taken the IV out right before this picture was taken.
We all were so happy to be home! Now, he is going through a phase where he doesn’t want to sleep in his crib. Between that and the teething that he and Derek are going through, we haven’t been getting much sleep. Oh well, such is life.
Terrible Two’s?
This has been a rough couple of weeks at our house. To start, it’s been a long winter! I think we all have a major case of cabin fever. Additionally, both boys are teething. This means that we are getting very little sleep. To top it all off, I think Derek is going through the terrible two stage. He has always been pretty easy going and well behaved. Here is a list of some of the naughty things he has done lately.
* Scribbled with black Sharpie and yellow highlighter all over Dan’s computer monitors. Luckily, it came off! It wasn’t fun calling Dan at work to let him know.
* He broke a glass candle in the bathroom. This candle had been there, untouched, for two years.
* Playing in the toilet. I heard laughing and water splashing and knew I better investigate. I thought I would find them playing in the tub with toys that still had leftover water in them. Nope, this is what I found.
Derek is trying to pretend that he had nothing do to with it. But, he is just as wet as Lucas. You can’t really tell in the picture, but they were both soaked!
* I was feeding Lucas his bottle on the couch. I kept hearing something hitting the floor…blackberries! He thought this was a ton of fun!
Add to the list, squeezing the tube of anything he can find, lotion, toothpaste, conditioner….the list goes on. While most of this may sound like normal child’s play….it isn’t normal for Derek.
Ugh…recounting all this just makes me tired!:)
Lucas has been equally difficult in his own way. Come back for that story!

A little bit about me…..my husband and I were married 3.5 years ago. 
I am a WAHM to two little boys (almost 2 and 1yr. old).
In what little free time I have, I enjoy photography, eating out at great restaurants and working outside in our yard. I started designing cards shortly after the birth of my first son. I have learned so much in the last 2 years! I love the challenge of coming up with new, unique designs.

Airplane Theme Birthday Party Invitations
Since these invitations haven’t been mailed yet, I shouldn’t be posting this. But, I can’t resist!! Thanks to the suggestion of my mom, I decided to go with an airplane theme for my son’s second birthday. I am so excited! Here is the invitation I designed. It has the look of an actual boarding pass, just a little cuter! I had trouble finding envelopes, so I decided to make my own! As much as I hated ruining the atlas, I think they turned out great! His birthday isn’t until the end up April, but after that I will have tons of pictures. So check back! If you are interested in purchasing these, click here.
