Who doesn't love a middle-of-the-night-run to the ER??

Yes, well David awoke at 1:30 last night barking like a seal...croup. He was really having labored breathing though. We had him in the bathroom with steam, and that wasn't helping. He was shaking terribly, so I called 911. He was taken to Doylestown Hospital, and they gave him a nebulizer treatment, which calmed things down, then they gave him a steroid, which they said would have a long-term effect. His temp was 103.4, so they immediately sent him for chest xray to rule out pneumonia, because croup doesn't usually have a high-spiking fever like that. But, everything came back okay, just showed narrow passage ways, which is croup. He did so good with everything, he never cried once, he did everything that was asked of him, I was amazed. He started acting like himself again once the fever came back down, even gave us a superbark like Bolt! Then they wheeled over a cart with a TV on it with every Disney movie you could possibly imagine. Well, he was in his glory...he even asked if he could sleep there. So after a few hours of observation, he was okay to go home, just have to make a followup with his Ped. on Monday. Most of all, I was just glad that he was okay and extremely pleased with the nursing staff, the Dr., the admins-everyone was so nice and accomodating. Very on time there as well, no sitting and waiting for hours and hours for an xray to come back. So do you think after going to bed at 4:30 in the morning that he would sleep in? No, not my David, he wakes up like clockwork...7:20 on the nose. That's okay though, I can handle that!

Binky Babe

Every time he puts the sunglasses on, I say, "Oh, yeah, are you cool?" And he lifts them up and says "Yaa!"

Meet Peter

Here's our baby bunny that's been hanging around the bird feeder for the past two weeks. David always keeps his eye out for him and tells us all to be quiet when he's out. We've named him Peter...Cottontail, of course. Too cute!

Easter Show

He makes a great Easter Bunny! All the kids did so well, and I see a huge difference in David's performances this year from last ...he's maturing!

Game 1-Cubs vs. Mets

Warwick Bulldogs Season Opener 409

The 2009 Warwick Bulldogs season is officially underway, and it started off with a bang! The entire league gathered beforehand for opening ceremonies, where each team was introduced, followed by The National Anthem, and then the first pitch was thrown on the mound. The weather was sunny and a bit breezy, (50 mph wind gusts!!) but the temp stayed near 60 so it wasn't too bad. David had a blast, all the kids did. It was great to see them all having fun and getting along. David hit off the tee twice and hit a pitch at his last at bat. He really started getting into it in the last 2 innings. David's coach, Coach Mike, has a son named Dominick on the team (he's a great player btw). He also had his younger son there at the game watching...But seeing them interact reminded me of my childhood and took me back to the days when my Dad was coaching every team Jason was on, and me being the one there, watching, or picking clover, or playing on the nearby junglegym, and it put a smile on my face...Good memories, and new ones to come!

A Spring Stroll (On Some Powerwheels)

They love their Powerwheels! A beautiful day today, 66 degrees and invigorating! I like when the boys play outside, because then they eat really good! Also spent some time on the swingset, and thought I'd throw in a pic of David's fort that he made this morning...so did anyone else do that as a kid and remember how fun it was? My brother was the master of making forts on Saturday mornings while we watched cartoons...

Easter's On It's Way

In the spirit of Easter, I thought I'd make some egg wreaths. They were fun to make, and of course, therapeutic. I'm not a fan of all the "pastelly" colors of Easter, so I decided to make my own to get that primitive look.


















David also dyed some eggs in school today. He doesn't like the way they smell, but I think Snoop does!
