Yesterday started off fine enough. It was payday so I payed bills and budgeted and stuff like that. Then I got a few more things crossed off my to do list and as Robert and I were making plans to go grocery shopping and a date later that night my poor little boy power puked all over Robert and the living room floor. It was out of nowhere- we had no idea he wasn't feeling well. He did take a rather long nap but other than that no fever or fussiness or anything. So after we got him and everything else all cleaned up and I was trying to finish getting dressed and stuff he puked again all over Robert. I must say I'm so proud of my hubby. He used to not be able to handle puke or anything like that but he didn't even complain or make a bad face or anything. What a man! So I just held and snuggled my little boy while Robert went and got him some gatorade and applesauce and stuff and then we just hung out at home for the night. Luckily Joaquin didn't puke again except for spitting up some water and gatorade for the rest of the night and by the time we put him down for the night a lot of his color had returned. It must have just been something that he ate that didn't agree with his stomach or whatever. I'm so grateful for prayer and for a loving Father in Heaven who hears and answers prayers like helping my baby to sleep and feel better. What a blessed life I have!

We Are A Happy Family!
Thursday January 22, 2009
Today was a pretty great day. After the morning routinely stuff me and the fam went to my work where I got my schedule and name badge and all that good stuff. Then we went to the library which is awesome- it's so quaint and cute. Plus it's right in down-time Lake Geneva which has such a fun and cute vibe to it. After we got our books we went to a local pizza place that's really close by. The pizza was dee-licious! Unfortunately it's a little pricey so we're still on the hunt for our favorite pizza place. 
After we got home I read to Baily for a little bit and then we were just hanging out being silly and taking goofy pictures as you can see. It was such a simple moment but 
one I'll never forget. How I cherish my family! Joaquin was one pooped out little boy and could barely stay awake to play with his toy. I love that kid. He's always cracking me up. Today nothing extraordinary happened but it was a day of much awesomeness! I'm so very grateful to be part of such a happy family who I love with all my heart!

Wednesday was a nice day of just being home with my hubby, getting our room organized and recuperating after a long trip. It was so nice to have some help with the constant demand of attention that my kid's need. Baily took Robert out in the snow and showed him how to sled for his first time ever. She was so excited and so was he. It was such a sweet moment. Have I mentioned how great it is to have my hubby here?! Man I sure missed him. Later in the day me and my little family went to the Y where the kid's played in the Tot Spot and Robert and I "played" raquetball. I use the word play lightly since I sucked so bad and Robert must have been bored to death even though he won't say it. It was fun anyway though. After that we headed to Wal-Mart and then back home. Baily crashed on the way home and stayed out for the rest of the night. We fed Joaquin and showered him and he was out in a manner of minutes as well. The poor little tikes must have still been recovering from the long trip as well. (Oh and btw- J's rash is gone- hallelujah!) Robert and I and Patty watched Miss Potter which was such a great movie and then just Robert and I watched part of one of our favorite movies that gets us cracking up every time- The Three Amigos, while we enjoyed some delicious frozen pizza. Oh it feels so good to have my hubby back! It's true what they say you know... absence does make the heart grow fonder!

On the road again.
Tuesday January 20, 2009
After saying a prayer of gratitude for making it through the night in our ghetto motel and a hearty breakfast order from McDonald's we were back on the road again. Technically the 2nd day should have gone faster than the first because we had less miles to cover but it didn't. Once we started it wasn't long before we were in Missouri which was a break for our eyes as it was beautiful country. However, after being advised from many sources to not stop if you can help it because there are a lot of prejudiced rednecks and we weren't exactly a white group it was a little scary when we had to stop for gas. And I've never seen so many adult shops in my life. Sheesh!
But it really was beautiful. Joaquin was getting pretty restless so we got him a beef stick and he was one happy camper. 
I don't know if I've mentioned this before but man does that boy love meat! Whenever he 
eats a meal you can count on him only wanting the meat part of it and a lot of it at that. He will definitely not be a vegetarian from what we can tell. 
As we were almost to St. Louis we saw a semi on fire. It was crazy! Luckily we saw the driver walking out by the truck so we were relieved to know that he wasn't caught in that fire. As we were getting into St. Louis it was so cute how excited my 
niece Emely was to see her hubby. You could just feel her excitement! Once we got there we met her husband D at a buffet where he treated us to a hearty, delicious lunch. It was nice catching up with him and seeing his and Emely's excitement to be reunited. Oh... young love! We were sad to leave her but alas we had to get back on the road. And from then on was the longest part of the trip. We kept having to stop for Baily because for some reason her bladder decided to shrink to the size of a mustard seed and then we got sidetracked and of course a couple of times. Why is it when you're so close to home and you just want to get there nothing goes your way?! 
Must be murphy's law. At least Joaquin slept most of the time and Baily pretty much just chilled and entered her own imaginary world. We also jammed out to a lot of music and just tried to laugh about our frustrations on the road. Once we got out of stupid Rockford, IL (2 cities I now hate are Tulsa and Rockford) and into sweet Wisconsin I was so relieved and really truly felt like I was home. It was 3 degrees with about a foot and half of snow but it was beautiful and I was just so happy to be home with my hubby as a complete family. We got something to bring to the house to eat and once we got home and ate real quick I took a much needed and appreciated shower and crashed. The kids were SOOO happy to be out of the car and back home. Joaquin was even dancing and giggling. It was so cute. The dogs were happy to see the kids and the kids were happy to see the dogs. Sweetness.
