Antibiotics, Taxes &Automobiles

Well, this week has been one to remember. It started off with me getting a cold from hell. I had no voice at all and was miserable. Madi is still not feeling well on top of it. More on that a bit later. So, Wednesday morning, I was deliriously drove to work after a long night. I park in the underground parking lot of our building. On a normal day it's tight parking but on this day... Let's just say that my nice expensive white car met a red cement pillar. Ugghh. The insurance company called today and it's over 2k work of damage. Thank God for a $500 deductible. And for an understanding husband. He just laughed and said he was glad I was okay. I finally took Madi into the doc today. I had a feeling it was a little more than teething or a cold. And sure enough, she has a raging ear infection in both ears :( Poor little thing. Good note is, we did our taxes last night and we actually get a return this year! Yeah! Usually we owe because were in a crappy tax bracket. Too bad most of the return will go towards the car. On the bright side, I'm feeling better. Madi is on antibiotics. And I have a rental car! Things are looking up!

Teething

The Morgan household has been crazy as of late. Our jobs have been super busy, creating late nights and very early mornings. And to add to it, Mads is teething. Uggghh. Usually she is the most content little thing but not lately. She's up most the night :( There is only so much coffee in the world, and it's not cutting it lately! I went to the store today and bought every teether known to man! We'll see how they work out. Besides the teething, Madi is getting funner and funner by the day. I now get "Ma Ma" all the time. I still damn near cry every time she says it. We are working on "Da Da" now. She is crawling all over the house which is making for weekends spent baby proofing. I am realizing that our house is a death trap! What were we thinking with some of our furniture choices? I still look at her every day and can't believe how beautiful it is to be her Mom!

Yes We Can!

So I have not posted for a while. Really trying to get back into the grove of things after the holidays. (Ya, I know it's almost February) However just wanted to make a note of how proud I was today to be an American. The inauguration of Obama today was something that I will not forget. How amazing it was to see millions of people gather and be a part of history. Not trying to push my political views on anyone. That is what makes our country so great! I truly believe that no matter what political party, race or religion you may be, today was a celebration of all of us!

Zuit Suit Riot

Last night we attended my work's annual holiday party. This year was a casino theme. So, Ry & I dressed up in the old rat pack era. We had a BLAST! We only wish that all the money Ry won last night would have been real! It was our official first date since we had Madi. We really need to do it more often :)

The Christmas Dress...

Hooray for Christmas!! I LOVE this time of year. Some might say I go a little overboard with the holiday (my husband) but, oh well. And now, with having Madi, I have an excuse for watching all those holiday cartoons and movies :)) Ryan & I spent the day yesterday putting up the Christmas tree and decorations. Mad's loves the lights and the cat loves the tree. Kitty has yet to tip the tree over yet, but I know it is coming. So today I thought I would put Madi in her Christmas dress and take some pics by the tree. Let's just say she was NOT having it! I started to get a little frustrated looking through the pictures, not really having one good one. And then I realized the results are hilarious! I didn't get my perfect picture, but I did get a great memory :) After all, that is what this time of year is all about right?

Growing Girl

Sorry it has been such a long time. Life has been crazy! Here as some pics of our growing baby Madi :) She is a little over 5 months. I can't believe how fast she changes! She's rolling over and is soooo much fun! I never knew life could be this great!

St. George Getaway

We decided to make a quick weekend getaway to visit Ryan's parents in St. George this past weekend. Mom & Dad have a BEAUTIFUL new home with a swimming pool :) Madi had her first swim. She loved it. She also got to meet Great Grandma Morgan for the first time and many of her cousins, aunts and uncles. Thanks to Mom & Dad for letting us barge in and stay. We really needed the R & R :))
