February 2012

I thought I post a few pics and some news of the Taylor Feb 2012 happenings. One of the biggest events in our house the past few weeks was the arrival of the plague with Superbowl Sunday. Matthew started vomiting and had diarrhea on Sunday and kept on going until Friday. It was very impressive. He made one trip to the ER and was possibly working on a second when he finally turned the corner. I have never seen him so sick. He and I both lost 5 pounds each. Me, mostly because I couldn't stomach the thought of eating after cleaning the mess up. This pic pretty much sums up our week...

We were worried he was going to miss hockey the week after he recovered. It was going to be a big day because he finally got to play with the mites in between periods of the Bremerton Warriors game. He was soooo excited and I was petrified that I was going to have to tell him that he couldn't play. Thank God he rallied. He was so happy to be back on the ice and playing in front of a crowd.

Pics from practice before...

The other highlight of the past few weeks was the superhero birthday party that Matthew was invited to by his dear friend Jonas. We debated for a while whether or not to come up with a costume and we compromised and I made him a Batman cape. I was pleased with how it turned out, but thought it was really cool to see it flapping in the breeze and Matthew rode the rope swing at the party. He loves it and I almost have him convinced to be Batman for Halloween (yippee- over half of the costume done already).

Well that's all for now from Casa de la Taylor. More updates to follow....
