The week after Thanksgiving was pretty rough. We were all trying to get back into the working routine after having a 5 (me) and 10 (Boogs) days off. Once we finally got back in to the groove, Tuff got sick. :( I woke up around 2am Thursday morning and went in to check on him and thought he felt warm. When he woke up around 7, he still felt warm. I went ahead to work and dropped him off at MeMe's. He continued to run a fever through out the day on Thursday. When I picked him up, he was running a 102 fever. At this point all I could think was his ears. Friday morning he woke up and sucked down almost a whole cup of juice within a few seconds. A few minutes later, he was throwing it all back up. His fever was still 102. I just decided to get him ready and head to the Dr. He threw up about 5 more times on the way to the Dr. Dr. Collins said his ears and everything looked great. He was sure this was just a stomach bug. :( Poor bud. I talked to him about Tuff being sick so much. I told him I was concerned that he was sick more than normal. He assured me that a certain percentage of children stay this sick/or sicker before the age of 2. The good thing is, he's building his immune system up. Once he starts Kindergarten, all the kids that were never sick at his age now will get sick easier than he will. Let's hope that's correct anyways. :) He literally has been sick atleast once a month or more since he turned 1. It's pretty exhausting actually. He told me to just "Hang in there" because it will get better. So I'm hangin away...
We didn't do much Friday night since baby boy was sick. I left him at home with daddy while I ran out and got some groceries. Saturday we bundled baby boy up real good and headed to the Christmas parade in Woodbury. Tuff enjoyed watching all the horses, cars, and Santa! He still wasn't feeling his best so he just hung out in mama and daddy's arms the whole time. After the parade, we dropped buddy off at MeMe's so he could get a nap while me and Jordan went to his sister and husbands post-wedding reception. (They got married at the court house and just had a small reception after) Once we left there we went back to get buddy and headed to Jace's 2nd birthday party. We finally made it home around 7. We spent the rest of the night relaxing, watching football and playing! Sunday was a lazy day before going back to work. I got our Christmas cards in the mail yesterday that I'm excited about getting out in the mail. I'm most excited about Christmas this year since Tuff is finally old enough to enjoy it more. I can't wait to see how he does when we take him to see Santa! :) We will be doing that sometime soon. Just not sure when yet. I took a few pictures this weekend at the parade but not many so I'm not going to bother posting them since my camera is at home. But, since it's nearly impossible for me to post without a picture, I will leave ya'll with this one I took with my phone on Sunday morning.
Happy Tuesday!

I hate to hear that Tuff has been sick again! Bless his heart!! It's awful when they are sick! I definitely see a lunch date in the works when we come back in town! :)
