Too long!!

I can't believe it has been so long since I wrote a blog!!! Guess we have been pretty busy at our house! Gabe starts kindergarten on Wed!!!! He and I are both excited!!! Aaron will be getting out of the Navy in Oct. and will be getting a "real" job!!! And I am looking into going back to work a few nights a week, just to help get my student loans and the cars paid off. We are trying to get our "debit" paid off ASAP so we can start to invest and enjoy all that extra money!!!

The boys are growing quickly!! Before I know it Zeke will be 1 !!! I can't believe it!!! And my BABY is going to school....some days I am excited about it...other days I get sad...

Other than that, we have been enjoying having Aaron's brother and wife close to us. They now live in VA and we love spending time with them.

Our 7 year anniversary is coming up, August 31!!! And I will be 27 Sep 8th!!

Pictures

We went and had the boys pictures taken at Picture People yesterday. Enjoy!

Disney pics and other varous pics have been added to my facebook account. If you want to add me it is under Erin Surrell Morgan.

So, it has been 38 days since my last MRSA outbreak...and what do you think I woke up with this morning? YES! You guessed it...OUTBREAK NUMBER 4 DEVELOPING!!!! I am so excited I can hardly contain myself!!!!

It seems that there is exactly 40 days between each outbreak. On or about day 38 I start to develop the underlying symptoms....pinkness of the soon to be infected area, swelling, streaking of red lines up my foot into my ankle, and boy does it start to hurt...by day 40 I want to chop my foot off. So, as soon as I noticed that it was getting more painful, around 2:30pm, I called the dr. to find out what to do because it was the start of the weekend. He was in surgery, which he is every Friday. I left a message with my med tech and she said she would call me back around 5pm. At 2:45 she called me back to tell me that the dr. wants me to keep and eye on it and as soon as it changes to head to the ER and call him on my way.

When will this ever go away?!

My sis in law Stacy stayed with us for the week. That is my hubbies brothers wife. She is so nice and we really enjoy having her around. Her and Alan are going to take Gabe next weekend and he is so excited. He loves his Uncle Alan and Aunt Stacy so much! He really enjoyed having her as well as Aaron and I did.

A whole month gone by

A whole month went by since I last made a entry in our family blog. We went to Disney and had a great time! I will be putting pics up over the weekend probably. After we went to Disney, Gabe and I headed up to Vermont for a week to see my family and pick up Zeke. We had a wonderful time up there with lots of outdoor play! Then my dad came back down to MD with me for the weekend. We went to Bingo a few times and just relaxed. A few days after he left, my MRSA started to flare up again. This time left foot pinkie toe!! So, off I went to Dr. Leone and he started me on antibotic and the next day it was worse. Good new = no PICC line...yet...bad news= they had to numb my foot and cut open a hole for the infection to drain. Not as painful as it sounds.....On Wed morning I went and saw the infectious disease dr. He ordered a TON of blood work and thinks it may have something to do with my immune system...great...So with the news of my foot, my mother came down to MD for a week. She rode with a friend who has family in Annapolis. It was nice to have my mom here. We played outside a lot and Gabe got a nice tan. It was also a big help to get caught up on the house after being gone for a month!!!

On July 14th, I go in to have the start of my dnetal work done. I am more afraid of the dentist than of another MRSA outbreak! Crazy I know!

Zeke had his 6 month well baby check up and he is a big boy!!! He weighs 19lbs and it 29 inches long!!! He is in 95th% for height and 75th% for weight..he should weigh more for that length...but by all means is he not starving and skinny!!!

Gabriel is enhoying having a backyard this summer!!! We got him a small pool and a few sprinkler toys...boy we got a waterpark going on!!! I hate to see the water bill....oh well he is having fun!!!

Zeke

Yesterday I drove to NY with Kim and Gabe to bring Zeke to my mom. She is going to watch him while we take Gabe to Disneyworld for his 5th birthday! We are leaving here sunday night for FL and we are SO excited!!! Gabe doesn't know yet. We are not going to tell him where we are going either. Anyway, Kim and I decided we wanted to stop by a Sonics on the way home from dropping off Zeke. So I went to the Sonics website and printed directions. They were completly messed up and it took us over 45 minutes to find the Sonics because of the wrong directions. Needless to say, the chili and shakes are still good:) When will MD get a Sonics? CRAP! I am going to open one!!!

I miss my Zeke:(

What a crap day

With so much going on with me trying to get all th elaundry done before we go to FL, packing for Zeke to go to my mom's while we are gone, keeping the house clean....all that kid of stuff...you would think I was busy enough...but no!!! The washer leaked all over the laundry room. So now I am stuck here still needing to pack, clean the dishes, feed and bath my kids, but with water drentching my utility carpet in my laundry room out into our living room area. I must say that ShamWOWS really do work. It picked up most of the water. But my knuckles could only take so much pounding on carpet that only covers cement. I was glad to get a call from a friend with a wet vac and hopfully that will clean up the rest. Zeke is screaming, Gabe is crying cuz he is hungry an dI am soaked in water and smell bad... hahahaha
