Catching Up

I've been a slacker lately about updating the blog. Luckily, it's been mostly because there hasn't been much "blogworthy" action going on in my life. Things have kinda settled down a bit.

About 3 weeks ago or so, Jac had another bout with an ear infection. We had to go back on the antibiotic for another 10 days. Just as soon as we stopped it again, he started running fever again. This time, only for 1 day. I'm thinking this was just a fluke and I was being paranoid. The past 2 days, we've been fighting with "the squirts" (as Mrs. Gloria says...lol). He doesn't act like his tummy is bothering him, but his little but is raw from diaper rash and he hasn't had very much of an appetite. I'm so ready for him to get back to his normal healthy self.

Cam's been doing fine. For a while, it seems like there was some kind of action going on all the time, and each time, they would turn off their phones and Internet so it really left me hanging in agony. A couple of weeks ago, I spoke with him on Monday night, and didn't hear from him again until Friday! It really freaked me out! I spent all of my extra time searching for news on the web about what was going on, and each time coming up with nothing. He still won't tell me excactly what happend, just that he's OK and he hates memorial services. Thanks babe, now I feel lots better!

Creepy picture of me having an intimate conversation with my hubby...apparently it's cold in his room.

School's been alright for me. Back to work as usual now. This week starts their state testing so it should be pretty dull. Nothing else to report here.

We're just about finished with the Mother's Day festivities. Cam sent me a bouquet of roses yesterday. He also had some flowers sent to my mom and his mom. (What a good boy!) Jac made me a pretty little handprint stepping stone (with the help of Aunt Kimberly). I would include a picture, but you can't really see it with the camera flash. We all went to eat Mexican food for our Mother's Day lunch after church and they gave all of the mother's a rose when they brought the ticket! I was impressed. We spent the rest of the day playing in the backyard. We set up the little pool and sprinklers and all sat out and watched the kids play. Later we set up the tents in the back to practice for this weekend and then let the boys run around inside them. They had a blast!

Jac splashing himself with water. He was cold and I loved the way you could see his ribs from inhaling whenever he was shocked by how cold the water was.

So since the last time I blogged, we've hit the 2 month mark (5 more to go...WOOHOO!). At church this morning, we were talking about focusing so much on your dreams that you forget to notice all the blessings you already have. That really hit home. With Cam being gone, it seems like all I care about is September. I try to rush through every day just to hurry Cam home. I forget that I've got a beautiful baby boy that will only be a sweet little baby for a little while longer. I really don't want to take this time for granted, but as much as I try to convince myself not to rush things...I miss and worry about my husband more than I could have ever imagined, and I can't wait to have my family all together again!
