Snowshoeing 2009

We went snowshoeing on Valentines Day and took Lucetta with us! She did great! Poor thing couldn't move because I had her so bundled up, but she had fun! Then Tuesday I picked her up from daycare this week and she had a stuffy nose and flemmy cough! Sounded nasty! So I took her to the Dr. on Wednesday because she had started to pull on her ears also. They told me that she had a cold. No fever let it runs its course........OK, well it got worse!! No sleep on Thursday night. She cried and woke up several times, then she woke up at 2am with a fever. So went back to the Dr. on Friday and they took one listen and look and tested her for RSV! Yep, positive for RSV! Dang daycare! I know that is where she got it! It will take her a few weeks to feel better. So far we just have to watch her and hope her fever doesn't last much longer or that her breathing doesn't get any worse, otherwise we will have our first hospital trip! So I will have to stay home from work the next week to take care of her (like the other parents should have instead of letting their children pass it around the daycare) Otherwise thing are going well. Todd is in the midst of the first of 2 trade shows in the next 2 weeks. So far business seems to be picking up! That is a GOOD sign!
We stopped for hot chocolate and to feed the baby and she wanted to pretend to help daddy drive!

Thuja need a little excercise! He LOVES the snow!

Hope life fine you all well! Love the Krogers!

4 Month Pics!

Here are a few 4 month Pics of Lucetta! We finally got some taken. She is 20 weeks already. Time seems to be flying by! Todd's business is starting to pick up a little. The BIG landscape show are the next 2 weeks, so he will be BUSY and I will be on my own with Lucetta!

I am getting used to daycare and working 2 days a week. Lucetta does fine there, I am just being the crazy mommy who worries to much! I wish I could stay home with her all the time, but its just not in the cards right now especially with this economy!

Hope life finds you all well. Sending out love!

Arizona January 2008

Hi there all! We went to Arizona to visit Todds friend Hugh and his family for the weekend. It was 80 degrees! It was so nice to see the sun for a few days. Lucetta did great on the plane. No crying (she even had a cold) She ate well and slept well. The only BAD was the 3 poop blowout that always seem to happen at the most in-opportune time!! Thanks god I brought extra outfits! I had to wear poop on the way home, but Lucetta was clean and comfortable!

Here are a few photos!

Don't you just love my double chin!

Watchin the game with Daddy!

Wow! Time flies by soooo fast when you have a baby! Lucetta is 4 months already and growing like a weed. She went to her 4 month appointment on friday. She weigh is at 14lbs 10oz and is 25 inches long. the Dr. said she was tall! Now that is great news for 2 short parents!! She had her shots and did very well. Let crying and crankiness this time around.

I am working 2 days a week at a downtown practice. Lucetta is going to daycare those 2 days. I am having a hard time with it. I am not sure that I picked the right place though. I plan to look at a few more soon and we may switch her. Probelm is the better ones are more money of course! We just want what is best for her!!

We are off to Arizona to visit Todds friend this weekend. (And watch the superbowl!) It is some much needed SUNSHINE time! This will be our first travel experience with the baby and all the STUFF you have to bring with you. I am sure that it will be fine.

Love you all,

Here are a few recent pics!!

Happy New Year again!

Sorry forgot to add a few notes before publishing! We spent Christmas with my sister Carrie, her fiance Chris and their new baby Sophia. I felt bad because we were snowed in and couldn't go anywhere. Todd tried to take Chris to the Blazer game on friday and got stuck in the street backing out of the driveway! Needless to say they didn't make it to the game. Todd was very proud to have the Bronco out to YANK the car out of the stuck position that it was in. We had like 16 inches of snow! Here is a pic of his second baby the 74 bronco he loves so much. He pulled a few other people out on the street and had a blast while scaring the crap out of my sisters fiance Chris. They came back after pulling someone out and Chris says "Now that is a f*!%ing truck!" Even though we couldn't leave the house we had a good time. Carrie doesn't visit much from NY so I was glad that they made it our way!

I have a new job! Took me long enough! I will be working 2 days a week downtown Portland. It will slowly work to 3 days then maybe 4. I am hoping to stay part time for a while. I am enjoying my time with Lucetta. Hopefully things will pick up soon for Todd's business. For now he is doing some design work and Daddy day care while I am at work.

Hope they holidays were good for you all.

Happy New Year!

Poor Thuja at Christmas!

Snow 2008

We drove to Seattle for the weekend to have Christmas with my family on Saturday. Well we got snowed in there and decided to brave the drive home today. Things went well. I was sweating and screaming while Todd drove. Baby Lucetta slept the whole time. It took over 5 hours to get home. We have over 2 feet of snow! The bamboo in the yard is leaning so far over that part of the fromt fence is coming down!!

Lucettas guard dog!
