I am working a little late tonight. Right now I am sitting at my desk listening to the sound of thunder booming and ice pellets on the roof. Should be a fun drive home....don't forget I have Chicago traffic to add to the weather mess!
Lovely.

You know you're tired when.....
......you fall asleep between bites of cereal!
He didn't even wake up when I took him out of the highchair, took off his bib and wiped his face!
The darn cough is back though. We gave him albuterol and propped him up when he sleeps, which helped a little bit but it was still a pretty long night.
When I picked him up from daycare yesterday there was a notice on the door that there are reported cases of Pink Eye in the infant room.....great! I have to be VERY careful when I pick him up since I just had Lasik done on Saturday. His teacher said the only kids with it so far are mobile and she said that the one who definetly has it does not interact with Justin during the day, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he does not get it!

Nothing too exciting around here to report. Thank you so much mom and dad for all of your help last weekend. Our house has EVERY wall freshly painted thanks to Dad and Rob! This Sunday Uncle Ryan and Aunt Amanda are coming to visit us for spring break. They are watching Justin all week while Rob and I are at work. Justin is very excited!!!

Long weekend!
This post has lots of pictures from the last few days.
On Thursday night I went to the Sears Centre for the Taylor Swift, Ronnie Milsap and George Strait concert. It was a GREAT show and I liked Taylor Swift so much! She is such a sweetheart and signed autographs and took pictures with EVERYONE who wanted one. She was doing it for hours. I really think she's going to be a huge success and I love her new CD!
Me with Taylor Swift
Saturday morning we dropped Justin off to Aunt Connie and Uncle Dave's for the night and went to Appleton for Katie K's wedding. Grandpa and Grandma Rosebush were in Chicago too, so Justin got to hang out with lots of family. I was sad to leave him overnight for the first time, but Rob and I had a great time at the wedding!
Barry & Sara singing "God Bless the Broken Road" for Katie and Brian's first dance.
Rob and Melissa
Melissa and Kim Powell (Elenbaas) - my big sister in the sorority! I miss you Kimmer!
Melissa and Justin (aka Beaker, aka Dogger)
Tatum and Justin
Jack and Melissa - fun times with old friends!
Kim and Barry on the school bus back to the hotel! All of the Lambda Chi's were making up words to "The wheels on the bus" the whole way home...I don't think I'll be teaching them to my son!
Kimmer, Shannon, Katie and Melissa....Family tree love after the reception. We went back to the hotel and used one of the conference rooms to hang out. I have never seen 12 pizzas disappear so fast!
We left Appleton Sunday morning at 9am. I am really glad my husband was nice enough to drive home. I have to wear my glasses because I am having LASIK done next Saturday and have to keep my contacts out until then. It was really sunny and that coupled with the fact that I drank like I was 21 again....let's just say I slept the entire 3 hour drive home!!
We came home and watched the Daytona 500 and just chilled out. Rob put Justin's highchair together...Justin likes it and can sit up really well!
He sat up much better than I thought he would!
Enough with the camera daddy!
I'm not gonna smile!
Okay...one time for Grandma & Grandpa....come visit me this week!!!!! I miss you!

Having fun in California???
Hi Mom and Dad! This post is for you...be thankful that you are in Marina del Ray instead of the Midwest!!! I worked from home today because the travel times were at least triple on the roads of Chicago this morning.
I personally love the snow and so does Rob. Our neighbors don't quite share in our enthusiasm!!!
Lori out snowblowing...hope Tom doesn't look at our blog and see the garage open with his Corvette in there!
Rob shoveling
Smile :)
I miss this weather! It reminds me of college...
Really wish we had a Yooper Scooper in Chicago!

Pool fun!
Friday on my way to work, the temperature reading on my car was once again zero degrees. I am tired of the cold weather with no snow. I don't mind the cold if there is snow to go along with it, but just cold is getting to be too much!
Rob and I decided to take a little road trip and stay at a hotel with an indoor pool so we could take Justin swimming for the first time. He loved it! There are some pictures below. Sorry; there would have been more if I would have checked our camera battery before leaving the house!!!
In other fun news, we (Rob) figured out how to use our webcam. On Friday night, we hooked it up and did a video phone call with my mom and dad (My mom's new laptop has a built in webcam). It was fun for Justin to be able to see them and they could see him. By the time we got it working, he was pretty crabby and ready for his bath, but at least Grandpa and Grandma still got to see him for a little while! He has been rolling all over the floor lately, so we're going to try to get him to do it on camera so they can see him! If anyone else has a webcam and wants to do a video call just let us know!
Again.... at least there wa no negative sign!!
Justin trying to decide what he's going to order on his first trip to Hooters!
Ready to go swimming!!!
Wow...this is a big bath tub!
Just chillin'
Mom...stop taking pictures. The girls in the hot tub are checking me out and you're embarrasing me!

Slacker....
Sorry; I know that I have been slacking on the blog...I have been really busy at work lately and that cuts into my blogging time! Just kidding for anyone at Thermo who may be reading this!!!
Here are some pics from Superbowl Sunday...the Bears losing was a bummer, but it was still much more of an exciting (and longer!) season than we ever had with the good ole Honolulu Blue! I realize that giving your baby a helium balloon is probably at the top of the "don't do" list, but we were watching him the whole time :)
Ready for the big game!
Trying to eat the balloon since the game was not much fun to watch!
Lover dogs :)
Also, this week he started rolling over at day care....I have yet to see it! Rob saw it when I was not in the room, my grandparents and Aunt Connie saw it yesterday when I was downstairs, everyone has seen it but me! Now it's a joke that he won't do it when I'm around. I told him that I was not giving him any more cereal or a bath until he showed me :)
Ha-Ha Mommy...I'm not going to roll over for you!
What do you mean you won't feed me until I show you I can roll over?
I know you're just kidding about the no food or bath thing, right?
