Faraway but not Forgotten

There are times when we're far removed from our loved ones. Join us during our journey in love, family, baby, travels, and everything in-between.

Fever Breaks

So Helena is on the mend. She’s still has a runny nose and gross cough but she’s playing again and eating regular foods again. (For a couple days there it was just blueberries, etc).

But as expected, Eric and I both came down with it. Now who has it worse:

Eric, who has to go do pt in the morning (which can range from running 5mi to a martial arts to lifting at the gym) or me, 33 weeks pregnant minding a toddler.

Actually, at this very moment, I’m doing okay. Its not recommended for me to take NSAIDs(ibuprofen, etc) so Eric chose not to as well.

But we have survived our first major child sickness, complete with an ER visit and tylenol supposatories. Isn’t parenthood fascinating? ;)

I’ve finally connected my [recently shattered] phone to the computer. Because I was having problems with the tumblr app I’ve now got the opportunity to catch you all up to speed on our lives. How exciting, eh?!

To start with, when we received all of our goods that were in storage (by way of my mom and sister driving a uhaul 12 hours to us) we received Eric’s mother’s grill.

And, like any self-respecting American man*, he got himself a’grilling.

I will leave out the incident that I will refer to as “first time propane purchaser-gee this is light.”

*I mean no offense to any one who identifies themselves as male, American, or self-respecting if you are not “into grilling.” Etc, etc, etc.
