Time to say Goodbye

I have been thinking about this A LOT over the past few months... I know you have noticed.

I am not here anymore.

I am busy with the kids all day and at night I work on pictures.

By the time I am done with that I just don't feel like updating here anymore.

I didn't feel like there was space on here for my client pictures and I didn't feel like there was space for my kids pictures on my clients space.

So, I am going to combine these two. Some days you will get to see pretty pictures of gorgeous people and some other days you will get to see pictures of MY gorgeous people.

I will try to make it a daily routine to update. At least more than twice a month.

I worked hard on this new blog. I hope you like it but for now it is time to say Good Bye on here.



Maybe one day I will be back here... when Finn is in school probably ;)

Please visit me at www.sonjabphotography.blogspot.com Please take your time to follow me over there.

I will close this blog down for good in a few weeks.

Thanks!!!

prove

Finn took the last dose of antibiotics yesterday and we are all healthy again.


Finn did get stung by a bee today and as soon as I saw what happend my first thought was "please don't be allergic to bees, please don't be allergic to bees" I know it hurt the little guy, but another trip to the ER is not on my radar for long, long, looooooooooooooooooong time. I hope that was enough o's.




And since we are feeling better and it is October. We had to get out of the house and explore.




Here is the actual prove that we are healthy again

sweet dreams

I just tucked Jake in bed and before I could walk out he said

I love you and have a good night. And sweet dreams. Dream about me and how much I love you and that one day we will not be sick anymore!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Basically we have been sick for 4 weeks now, probably longer. One gets sick, we all get it, by the time we are all better again, someone already caught the next bug.
As of right now. Jake is on day seven of amoxicillan, I am on day 3 and Finn on day 1 (with some other meds due to his allergic reaction) for strep throat. Scot doesn't have it yet, but 3 days ago he had food poisoning, which wasn't much fun either.

We are all sick of being sick and YES sweet Jake I will dream tonight of not being sick!

Good Night!

and because a post with no pictures is not a complete post, here is a picture of Jakey dreaming sweet dreams a long time ago at a Reds game

our sick finn

Last week Finn was diagnosed with an ear infection. Poor kiddo was in so much pain that we decided to put him on amoxicillin.

He was doing great until this past Friday. Sometime in the morning I noticed he had a bunch of "bug bites" on his belly. Paranoid as I am, I called the Bug People. They came right out and inspected the whole house for over an hour and couldn't find anything. We thought he had a little spider in his onsie that bid him at night.

That evening I gave him his second dosage of amoxicillin for the day and was getting him ready for bed. Soon after I noticed that his whole body was covered with wells. I called the on call doctor and they told me to bring him in in the morning and to make sure his tongue and throat were not swelling.

He seemed fine except for the wells.

I put him to bed and went downstairs. Something nagged me to check on him again. I went in his room and he was still awake but doing funny things with his tongue. I did a quick mouth swipe, thinking that he has something in his mouth, only to discover that only my pinkie fits in his mouth. His tongue and cheeks were sooo swollen.

I scooped him up, loaded both kids in the car and drove to the Children's Hospital ER.

There we didn't have to wait long. He was pretty quickly diagnosed with a severe allergic reaction to penicillin.

After many many hours of tests and waiting that the swelling would go down and watching one of the weirdest show I have ever seen on Nick Jr. we could go home.

Yesterday his face and body were pretty badly swollen. His eyes looked like someone bunched him and in general you could tell he was miserable.

This picture is from this morning. He is looking already a lot better but still has lots of wells.

We are going back to the doctor in the morning.

Please send him some good vibes for a speedy recovery!

1st day

Last week, was Jake's first day of Kindergarten. He was excited and so were we. We had a little celebration before with his godmommy, beautiful letters and notes from friends and family and a few little surprises for him.

Time came, we took a obligatory picture of him in front of the door with his backpack and his new outfit.

The bus came and he excitedly gave me a kiss and off he went.

But then the tears came. His and mine! It was hard to let go for both of us. The end of just hanging out and doing every day what we wanted, no schedule, no homework just every day a new adventure. But the beginning of so much more - new friends, new things to learn, new schedule... i think this will be good for us!

2 hours later the phone rang. It was the schools number... i picked up and said "what happened?" The school nurse was on the other line, Jake fell at the playground, he is fine but he won't stop crying for me.

So,Scot picked him up. 1st Day of Kindergarten a flop.

But now we are on day 5 and he loves it. Everyday he comes home and declares it "the bestest day in history"

This morning he got up with the wrong foot... trying to cheer him up I mentioned it is another bestest day because it is Kindergarten. He looked at me all serious and said

"I am done with Kindergarten! My teacher talks a lot and gives me a headache!"

You can never win with Jakey!
