Graham's "Winter Wunder-rand!"

Here are pics from our neighborhood. What a great day!

Snow Day!

"When it snows you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels."

Well, it actually snowed in Raleigh, NC. There was a moment last night when I doubted it. Wral had grim news for snow lovers, but it picked up and it is still snowing! What a great day. The Doc even said that Graham could enjoy the snow some too even though he had a mild case of pneumonia. Garrett is home from work today, so we are trying to relax from our hectic morning of "you hold the 3 year old while I gag him with his medicine". I'm am proud to say he took it after 2 hours of screaming. I put it in cold oatmeal... not so bad. He played his Vsmile while I shoveled it in. Earlier attempts to give him his meds resorted in a very angry child, who after crying began coughing and then choking....and well, that did not end well. Can you guess what happened? Bright side is that our house smell like Pine-sol.

Graham's got the "Rockin' Pneumonia"...

...who the Boogie Woogie knew?



So, right when I thought Graham was better he fevered up again. This time with fevers up to 105 degrees. I figured this was a sibling thing. Why share toys when you can share plagues instead, right? At least they can do something together... Well, then we got to thinking that the his "stomach bug" from days before, accompanied with these fierce fevers and sore throat were signs of strep. I WISH... Garrett carted him off to urgent care today and after a very expensive "urgent care" x-ray the verdict is in.... Pneumonia people! He's pretty sick. We've fought his fever all night. Garrett goes off to Greensboro for the day tomorrow and is leaving me alone with a wild child and the sick child. The thoughts of having to go to Wake Med again terrifies me and he'll be over an hour away. I wonder how i'm gonna keep Nate from not falling of the tables in his attempt to test me while trying to take Graham's temperature in his "where the sun doesn't shine" place. Looks like I'm calling his regular doctors in the morning. BOY, won't they be happy to hear from me? We were only there 6 times in a 8 day period. I told the doctor at Nate's hospital follow-up that I did not want to see them again for a while, unless it was at the grocery store. Here we go AGAIN...

Too bad you can't love a virus like they love you. Yes, it seems the Hobbs' house has yet again been kissed by the wrath of a lusty virus. If 2 Nights at Wake Med with Nate were not enough, now Graham is sick. Round 2? So far he seems ok. I'm thankful for that. A game of Oregon Trail anyone?
