Yearly ER Visit...Check

So we took a trip to the ER this morning.  Jonah was goofing around, tripped and smacked into the coffee table.  It made a horrible sound.  He screamed and there was a bunch of blood.  We kicked into panicked emergency mood and were at the hospital in less than 10 minutes.

Aside from a few lacerations and a fat lip Jonah's just fine.  He bit his lip and there are two cuts inside and two cuts outside but none are very deep and they didn't need stitches.  He was really good and let the PA check him out without crying or whining.  I was really impressed with how he handled himself.  The PA even said "he can come back anytime" to which I replied "sorry, we don't like you people that much!"

Well enough about that.  Here's hoping we all stay out of the ER for another year (or preferably longer)

When the Cat's Away

Catherine has been gone for more than 36 hours and she won't be back for about 12 more.  We found out last weekend that her only uncle passed away.  The funeral is today but it is 5 hours from home and to beat yesterday's snowstorm she and Mary left on Tuesday evening.  So it's been just Jonah and I the last two nights (and tonight too).  We're doing good, though Jonah does go into "I waaaant my mama" mode when he gets in trouble for not listening. 

I think tonight we'll go grocery shopping.  That's a scary thought because I don't like grocery shopping and Jonah just likes to pull everything off the shelves.  But we have no milk, no bread and no...lots of stuff.  (Cat usually shops on Friday but we were out of town and she was only home 1 day before she left again).  I'll try not to buy too much junk food!

Disney World

I made a decision last month. We are going to Disney World.

Catherine and I have always talked about going but what were the odds it would really happen. We talk about saving, then spend the money. We dream, but then find excuses.  So I found a good deal on airfare and voila...October 17-21 we'll be in Florida!  The plane tickets are paid for.  The hotel is booked.  The planning has begun.

Jonah gets to spend a week with Grandma and Grandpa while we spend a week on a long overdue vacation.  We haven't take a trip by ourselves since our honeymoon (and that was only three days in the Keweenaw).  We will have been married for twelve years by then so it's about time.  Jonah would love it, but he can go next time when he'll be able to remember it.

Planning and preparing has taken up all our free time.  We have now purchased 3 books and subscribed to numerous web sites all about WDW.  I can't tell you how many late nights in the last three weeks we've spend discussing restaurants and "touring plans".

I hope you don't get sick of Disney because it appears to have taken over our lives and will probably show up here more often than not.  I've even added a new countdown on the blog!

A Year and Then Some....

It seems as though it's been a while since we updated this. Let's try again shall we.

We have a lot of fun things planned this year and hopefully we'll keep up on them.

Talk at ya soon!
