Langdon and Mommy's special day in the E.R.

Last weekend we had the biggest snow storm Evan and I had ever seen, and this weekend it was sunny and 80 degrees go figure. So how did we spend it you ask? Saturday Langdon and I spent from 11-430 in the Emergency room for a big time busted lip. Evan and Langdon went to the gym yesterday and when Evan was picking Langdon up from the kidzone he asked Langdon to go sit on the bench so they could put back on langdons shoes. On the way to the bench he tripped on his own shoes in the floor and smacked the sharp edge of the bench with his mouth. He had a long slice on the outside where it split and puncture wounds on the inside where his teeth went all the way through. After much bleeding and a short stop to the pediatrician she sent us to the ER to get it fixed. After much impatience on my part we were seen and it was decided that stitches would be more trouble than it is worth, with the strapping down of a 3 year old and medication so they glued it with skin glue which is made exactly for that. All in all it could have been so much worse and Langdon was such a trooper after no nap and no lunch. It is healing nicely all ready so hopefully the scar will be minimal.

Sunday we did have a great day in this weather and of course it is Nascar season and you know how exciting that is around this house. I feel blessed that it has taken 3 years before we have to grace and emergency room and I hope those trips are few and far between.

We had what 2 people from the south would call a major snow storm sunday to monday. With a total of 10 inches, and it was rather exciting. We have never been in that much snow and all in all I would have to say although pretty to look it is a pain to deal with. As usual the one who had the most fun was the biggest kid Evan. He did more sliding down the yard than any of us. Those of you who know Evan can imagine I was fearful of him injuring himself with so much child like activity, but it was the walk down the stairs to the mailbox that led to a fall. Although slightly bruised no true injuries to report. Langdon did spend a little time outside but with the Nascar race on it is hard to pull him away. Teagan and I spent a little time outside monday afternoon and the fresh air was great. There is still a ton of snow around and we are expecting 75 degree weather this weekend so it should be interesting to see it melt. We did build a snowman and throw snowballsso I believe the whole experience was had. Bring on the time change and Spring

This is what we will call back blogging because of course I am always behind in most things and that in itself drives me crazy. There has been plenty going on from our trip home for Mardi Gras to the massive snow in us southerners like to call it. Not to mention that we are moving in 2 weeks Haaaaaaaaaaa! We went home 2 weeks ago for Mardi Gras and had a hectic but fun trip. The plane ride going down was a breeze I feel blessed to have such good travelers not to mention modern technology. Most of this would not be possible with Wall-E and Nascars they certainly have a way of distraction. The summary of the trip went much like this we drove to Washington DC to fly out on Friday. Had a Crawfish/Birthday Party on Saturday, did the Pass Parade on Sunday, shopping and date night on Monday and Flew back to DC on Tuesday and drove home. Tired of reading yet? There was lots of fun packed into those days we always fond memories to take home.

Langdon and Teagan caught up on much needed grandparent time and had such fun with all the friends he got to visit. He also attended his first pass parade which is a huge tradition in this family. Although very cautious and quite the lone observer I know he had fun and consumed with much delight his first moon pie. It was so fun to watch. Teagan stayed home and got some much needed one on one time with Grandma so it was great. To slightly back trap the day before we rented a airwalk for Langdons birthday so all the kids could play and have a blast during the crawfish boil, and it was worth the money. It was a great day with beautiful weather and so much fun to see lots of good friends and family. As always enjoy the pics

Over the last week we had our house inspection for the new buyers and then had the necessary repairs made for them, and next up is the appraiser comes tomorrow. After all that is done we are headed to Long Beach for Mardi Gras definitly Evans favorite day of the year. We are so excited to see family and friends and Langdon will celebrate the second part of his birthday with a space walk and a cake. It should be so fun, he absolutely loves to jump in those things. Langdon also gets to go to the parade for the first time, that should be interesting.

Teagan and I spent Tuesday afternoon in the doctors office for an ear infection in the right ear, but after some drops and tylenol is doing much better. I feel very fortunate that he has been very healthy only a few small colds and this ear infection. He is so happy and growing so fast, we hope he gets to crawling soon. It looks as though we are officially leaving the commonwealth of virginia around March 19 yeah. We will get everyone updated when we can. Enjoy the pics of our sweet cape crusader and happy feet.

So what have we been up to?????

There is so much news to report, lets see if I can get it all in. For starters Langdon is now 3 his birthday was on the 3rd. He had a small party at his daycare that included cookies and a Pinata and some wonderful gifts from friends. Although he refused to actually hit the Pinata he was more than willing to instruct everyone else to hit it. The Pinata is a tradition for birthdays and holidays at the daycare so Langdon is no stranger to what comes out of it which is lots of suckers and candy. We flew to Arkansas the 3rd week of January to look for houses and decided to build a house that will hopefully be started in the next few days. Our house also went on the market that weekend and we received an offer a few days later. We are hoping to close mid March and move to Arkansas. We will stay in a furnished apartment until our house is done. We have been trying to explain to Langdon that we are moving but I don't think he gets it.

In Teagan land there is lots also going on. He is pretty much healed up from his surgery, and was really a trooper. He has gotten 2 teeth in the last couple of weeks and the 3rd one is coming in right now. Mid January Teagan went for his 6 month checkup and got flying colors on development and milestones. He has been eating lots and playing on the floor, and hopefully will be crawling soon.
