A Little Pneumonia Won’t Stop This Kid

I hope I don’t jinx it by saying—or writing—this, but James seems a bit different this year. Last year he spent so much time home from school because he was sick. It got to the point that we started to think that he was either allergic to school, or he…

Pneumonia and Rhino Virus

We were hoping that James was going to make a turn for the better when we put him to bed last Sunday night. Unfortunately, he didn’t. Monday morning he was about the same as when we put him to bed. Still having breathing issues and an elevated heartrate. We called…

Back to School for the Birthday Boy

James went back to school on Tuesday for his second year of preschool…or did he?     We have no idea how he was able to skip so many grades with all the school that he missed because he was out sick, but he is in Jr. High now.  …

4th Birthday Party: Disney’s Cars Theme

Although James doesn’t officially turn 4 until Thursday, we had his party this past Sunday. This year’s theme was Disney’s Cars. I suppose I shouldn’t assume you have seen either of the Cars movies, so here is a trailer for the first movie in the series that was released in…
