Bedtime Tonight!!

Tonight after Maeci was done brushing her teeth, I was putting her in the bed while Scott turned on her music. He kissed her goodnight and walked out of the room. I generally stay for a couple of minutes answering questions about the upcoming week like, "when can I read by myself", "are you going to pick me up from school or is Nana" and "even though I have brushed my teeth, can I still have a drink?" After answering all of her questions, I gave her a kiss and was headed out the door, when I heard her say "no mama, I want a real kiss." I walked back to her bed and gave her a kiss on her sweet little lips. I was walking out and turned around to shut the door, when I noticed Maeci rubbing my kiss. I must have looked at her funny or something because she said to me "Mommy, don't worry, I wasn't wiping your kiss off, I was rubbing it in." I just about started crying. I blew her another kiss and walked out the door. At that moment, I thanked God for my sweet little girl and for moments like those. If I hadn't turned around when she said she wanted a real kiss, I would have missed out on something so sweet, it almost made me cry!!

Update on Dr. Appointments

Sorry I am just now getting to this but its been a busy week. We took both kids to the ENT and decided to hold off on tubes for both kids for now. Maeci has almost grown out of her infections and Camden is on the fence, so we will see what happens. However, after a follow up visit with our regular doctor, Camden was referred to an allergist. We went to see him and he was WONDERFUL!! He checked Camden and then decided to go ahead and allergy test him. I will admit I was a bit nervous but everything ended up just fine. He has a mild allergy to house dust, milk, soybeans, and corn. I just have to watch him and see how things go as far as those are concerned. He also tested positive for an allergy to peanuts. It's not a serious allergy but Dr. didn't want to tempt it to get worse. So, no peanuts of any kind for 6 months and then we will retest. He also put him on Singulair granules to try to control the allergy problems he has been having. So far, it seems to be working but of course only time will tell!!

My baby is ONE today!! :)

Well, one year ago today I was standing over the incubator in the NICU at Medical Center of Plano looking at my brand new baby boy. I knew he was kind of sick but looking at him now, you would never know that. It makes me kind of sad but he is ONE year old today. I can't believe that it has already been a year since he was born. I know it's kind of sappy but I love to think back about his birth story. My water broke about midnight and so we called a few people to get things started and made our way to the hospital. I checked in at about 1:00am and at 5:56am, Camden Wesley Scott Wilson was born. He is such a blessing from God and I thank him everyday that Camden was given to us.

Ok, now on to his party!! Due to the hurricane, we had a small party with only family. The theme was King of the Jungle. He had a super cute cake that was sooo good as usual and got some very cool gifts. I think that he likes his car the best. He loves to play with the steering wheel and of course, doesn't like to share with his sister. I let him have some cake of course, since it was his birthday and he ate it up. Not that anyone was surprised about that!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures!! He is sooo cute, huh!!

Update on Ike

Well, of course, we got all prepared and the weather wasn't as bad as we expected it to be. All that being said however, it was very windy and we got about 3 inches of rain. We lost some tree branches and some shingles but nothing serious. We actually only lost electricity for about an hour or so. When the hurricane was coming in, Scott and I drove around the subdivision and took some pictures of the water coming in. When these pictures were taken, the eye of the hurricane was still about 3 hours away from us but I was too chicken to get out again when it was at its worst. I am so glad that I was not anywhere near Galveston because I cannot imagine what those people went through. My prayers go out to them!!

Yikes IKE!!!

Well, with Huricane Ike heading right for Fairfield once it rolls over the coast, it should make for an interesting weekend. We are supposed to have 60-70 mph wind and 2-4 inches of rain. Most of you know that Camden's birthday party was supposed to be this weekend, but we are not sure if we are going to be able to have it since the weather may be bad. I know he won't really care but I do. I have been planning this for quite a while and now I am so sad that we might not have the party that I wanted to have for him. I know that life goes on and since he is only turning one, he probably couldn't care less. We will see. I will keep you posted on the hurricane situation. Pray for us if you think about it!

Random Pics

Here are some random pics of the kids. They both love their baths and its so hard to get them out. A couple of days ago we were running some errands in Fairfield and we saw the Weinermobile in the parking lot of one of the hotels. We went over there and the kids went crazy!! So, I took some pictures and promised Maeci that I would put them on my blog so that all of her friends could see it!!

Sick Kids Already....

Well, yesterday was the 1st day of school and my kids are already sick. I am sure that school has nothing to do with it since she has been coughing for about 3 days now with allergy stuff. They both had fever and were really crabby so off to the doctor we went. After 2 hours, 2 negative strep tests, 2 H&P's, 1 happy kid, 1 crying kid, and 2 appointments with an Allergist/ENT, we were walking through the parking lot to the car. Thank goodness, no shots but both kids are now on antibiotics for 10 days. Maeci has a double ear infection, tonsilitis, and allergic rhinitis, and Camden has tonsilitis and allergic rhinitis. I am sure the people at the pharmacy are so tired so seeing me come in they probably run and hide when they see my car pull up. Hopefully, after the antibiotic and the referral to the ENT, we will be making progress to keeping our kids well for more than a few weeks at a time. I will keep you updated on the appointments which are Friday morning.

First Day of School

Finally, the first day of school is here!!! Maeci has been asking me for the last 3 months when she was going to start school. I told her September 2 and so we have been counting down the months and then the days. Of course, September 2 is today and so Maeci was finally able to go to school. She was so excited!! I was glad she was able to go so I might have some time with Camden by myself. Plus, she needs to be learning more than what I can teach her. Here are some pictures from this morning!!

Democratic Extremists!!

You won't see my blogging about politics too much because I just won't. However, I have to share this little thing that really bothered me last night. I was watching the news last night and they were talking about the Republican National Convention. Then they showed all of the Democratic extremists acting like fools while they were protesting. I just don't understand acting like that. Do you think that really helps the situation?? I know that you are always going to have the extremists but come on people. The police were having to pepper spray them and they ended up arresting like 50 some people. All I know is that I didn't see any of the "Republican Extremists" acting like this at the Democratic Convention.
