Time Flies!!

Hi, welcome back my friend! I guess it's been awhile. To be honest, other than my husband reminding me once in awhile that I haven't blogged, I had kind of forgotten about it. That's what happens when you move into a new house, get sick, work, have people over every week, have your boys get sick, work even more, get sick again, have more people over and repeat.
Let's rewind so I can give you the Reader's Digest version. We packed up our rental house and moved into OUR new house the middle of January. We are 98% unpacked (Still have a couple pictures to hang and the office/guest room to organize) but the last of it isn't a top priority...obviously. We love our house and love having people over to our house. Last weekend was the first weekend we hadn't had anyone over to see our house/have dinner. It's such a blessing having a house you love, a house you want to welcome people into!
When we haven't been entertaining people we've been fighting illness. P broke out in a horrible rash a couple days after we moved. He was misdiagnosed and one doctor had me believing that he might actually go blind in his left eye. Rob and I were beside ourselves with worry. We tag teamed taking time off work to stay home with him and give him medicine around the clock. After dealing with this for over a week and not seeing much improvement, I took him back to his regular pediatrician. She immediately diagnosed it as impetigo and he was on the road to recovery within 24 hours. After that scare, E got sick with strep/the flu. A few days after being on antibiotics he woke up, screaming that his ear hurt. One of my students was staying with us during that time and we were worried that E would wake up the house. So Rob stayed up with him most of the night while I would relieved him for an hour or two so he could sleep.. The next day it was confirmed what we already guessed....E had a severe ear infection. After Rob gave him a dose of his *new* medicines he slept almost around the clock. From there I was blessed to get bronchitis, a sinus infection and an ear infection. Oye! Not often do I get to the point where all I want to do is lay around but I was there for about a week. Knock on wood but we're all healthy at the moment...and I pray that it stays that way.
E started soccer a few weeks ago and he couldn't be more excited! He couldn't wait to turn 4 so he'd be old enough to play soccer. So far he's done well at practice and is thrilled to play his first game tomorrow! (Actually, he's excited to play because he thinks he'll be getting a trophy after his game. Little does he know....)
On top of teaching, I've been super busy with photography commitments. The weather is warming up (It never really cooled off this Winter) and people are itching to get their picture taken. I also got wrangled into being the official school photographer, which has been quite a time commitment. I had last week off from school and it was nice to get photography stuff done as well as house projects. P had a couple days off as well so I had fun with the boys! P had his best friend come over for a sleepover and E "hosted" a play date lunch at the house.
Rob just had his one year management review and was told what we already knew...this position is a great match for him. He got a great review and was told he'll be promoted (a year earlier than originally told he would have the chance for promotion).
The next few months will be super busy for the both of us with our work commitments, E's soccer schedule, house projects, fishing and the end of the school year. I'll blog when I can but don't hold your breath for another one any time soon. Until then....enjoy the weather whether it's warm (like here), raining a lot (like in Cali) or snowing over 55 feet (like in Nevada)!!
