Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best Dad in the world, my dad, and to my husband, who is the best dad in the world to our son.  I don't know what I would do without these men in my life.

Here are some pictures that were taken by Sarah for Carl's Father's Day gift.

I'll share more of the pictures from the shoot later in the week.

Sickies

My poor boys have been sick this weekend.  Carl and Hunter have both had a pretty bad cough and Hunter has had lots of snot.  Saturday, Carl went to the doctor to get some cough medicine and ended up being diagnosed with bronchitis.  I no longer thought Hunter had just a cold (even though the only symptoms he had were a cough and runny nose... he didn't act "sick"), so I took him to Patient First (since his pediatrician's office was closed).

The nurse took his height and weight, counted his breaths, and took his O2 levels and Hunter cooperated and sat like a big boy the entire time.  She swabbed his throat for strep just to do a full work-up.  It ended up that is what he had- strep.  No fever, no symptoms, but tested positive for strep.

So, Hunter is on some antibiotics for his strep for 10 days (again, I asked not to be prescribed PCN due to my allergy and my family history of the allergy).  It apparently does not taste very good (that was a fun first 2 rounds of that medicine), so we have been sneaking it in his milk.  I will have a three day weekend as I will be staying home with little man tomorrow.  No complaints here.

New Journey

Next week, Carl starts school full-time (along with continuing to work full-time).  He will receive his Bachelor Degree in Network Security in a little over 2 years.  He will go to school in the morning and then work from 1:15-9:45.  If he ever gets out of class early, he will go to work early, and, thus, get off early.

Carl is concerned about me be a "single-parent" for 4 days a week.  He is extremely nervous about not seeing Hunter, except in the morning before we leave, those 4 days.  I can handle the single-parent thing knowing he is going to accomplish this amazing goal (all while working himself crazy).  I'm concerned about how much Carl is going to miss Hunter.

The solution: Hunter and I will bring our home cooked dinners to Carl's work twice a week and have dinner with him.  Carl is also more than likely going to purchase an iPhone once it is time for his upgrade in December, so we will be able to have "face-time" on our phone (either that or we can Skype).

I am very excited about this new journey.  Carl worked so hard while I completed my graduate degree.  I just wish we were in a position that Carl could just go to school full time and not have to work.  He does think that he isn't going to go to his graduation ceremony... yeah, we'll see about that!
