Update on Dylan

Just to let everyone know. Dylan is doing just fine. This morning I would have put his leg @ 100% but after his nap he acted like it was still hurting a bit, so more than likely it was just stiff from sleeping, because he worked it out playing with Ezra. So he is doing well. We love you and miss you.

Love,
Josh & Sarah

R&R..Have you met my child?????

Today Dylan woke up in alot of pain. We weren't really sure what the source was but we quickly discovered the problem, because when he went to stand he couldn't, he continually fell and cried. So we took him to the hospital and luckily it is nothing serious. Apparently he has a pulled muscle in his groin. But the doctors orders were pain medicine and some rest and relaxation, anyone who has met our child knows that rest and relaxation are at the very bottom of his list below running, jumping, dancing, sliding, climbing, ect, ect, ect......so we tried to follow orders and for most of the day he did lay around and later in the evening he had no problem laying and watching his new Bob the Builder DVD over and over (compliments of the McKenzie’s *thanks again* ) and laying on his couch, but he also has a new method, he has reverted to crawling, and its sad but adorable. But he is doing well and should be back to his old self by Monday.

Relaxing on his couch, with his blanket. Anytime he is sick he has to have these 2 things!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone. Prepare yourself for some pictures, because we had a busy Easter & Easter Eve with Papaw, Mawmaw & Jo-Jo. The rest of the pictures are on our google site and playing on the slideshow to the left.

Dylan had a great Easter! He loved coloring the eggs and when he came into the living room this morning we had them all hidden and he loved finding them! This is the first holiday he has really gotten into and enjoyed. As you can see from above he also liked the Easter Bunny and since the basket next to the bunny contained candy that helped a bit.

Horton

Dylan got his Easter present from his Aunt Jane, Uncle Chuck and Aunt Jennifer in the mail. I would normally wait until Easter to give him his gift, but when I saw this one I had to give it to him right away. We had gotten Dylan's friend Ezra this exact gift for his birthday in February and when I went back to get one for Dylan since he liked Ezra's so much they were gone, so when the Horton book and Horton animal arrived in the mail. I was so excited! Dylan used to sleep with his teddy bear, elmo, blue & barney every night, so now Horton has been added and needless to say the bed is getting kinda full...and the goodnight kisses and hugs process (where we kiss and tell every animal goodnight) is getting much longer, but its worth it. He loves his Horton and he loves having the animal while he reads the story, and in a few weeks we are going to see the movie!!

St. Patricks Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Spring Break is over :-(

Here are some picture taken by Jonathan and Christina when we did get to go out to play of Dylan and Ezra.

Spring break is now officially over for Josh, however it never really felt like spring. We had a few good days of playing outside, but we are ready for warm weather! Julie and Jason just visited and we had a great time Dylan is in love with their dog all weekend he would proclaim "my dog!" while hugging her or riding her.

We miss you guys already! The apartment above us is empty!!!

Imagination Station

On Thursday I took Dylan to the "Imagination Station" a cute little educational play place. It was a great setup. We went with our friends Christina, Anika & Ezra (Dylan’s best friend). We practically had the place to ourselves the entire time. The boys had a good time they enjoy each others company and crack each other up. Defiantly makes me want a sibling for Dylan. Anyhow, Dylan had a great time playing with trains and legos and jumping from a ladder or stool type thing that was about as tall as he was. It was scary, but he was good at it and landed on his feet pretty well. I think it’s a small glimpse into the type of teenager we will be raising and it is a bit unsettling, because he will try anything and everything! I'm not sure where he gets that from, it must be from Josh, I was a calm and patient child. :-P

Thursday was a packed full day in a great way...we also went to a reading event on campus, and Dylan saw Purdue Pete which I thought he would enjoy, but he didn't really care for him. But when we got home we had the Purdue Pete book and that has now become the book we read over and over and over and over again (that he gets from Josh, I would rent the movie or get the audio). But the best thing about the trip was taking the bus to get there. Dylan loves the bus because he doesn't have to be in a car seat and he loves his freedom.

Get low!

Lately Dylan has enjoyed dancing to some iTunes and listening to music mostly thanks to Josh, however lately he does not consider a song music unless he can dance to it, so when we play a slow song he demands music, insisting that what we are playing is not that. so here he is in action dancing to his favorite song to dance to...FYI - (he gets his moves from Josh)
