this past week.

this past week was trying to recover from being way too full over thanksgiving and attempting to get out the of "after holiday slump" it is always so hard to face real life after having a fun weekend. now we have Christmas to look forward to. 16 days left of shopping!

this week we finally got lane to the dr for his snotty nose and extra gooey eye. we got an antibiotic which is helping but making his system all out of wack. poor little guy. it breaks my heart. we are trying to survive through the 5 exploding diapers a day and soothing his red little bum. here is a pic of his half stuck eye getting his morning medicine. so pitiful looking. :(

vance made a quick trip to el paso, tx for work to visit the border fence project between USofA and Mexico. quite the fence! it was only a 48 hour trip but we were sooo ready to have him home!

while vance was basking in the mexican sun we were home spreading holiday cheer. the Christmas tree is up! lane is fascinated by it. he has heard the word "no" more these past few days then he has his whole life thus far. he even has a baby size tree in his room. :)



in other lane news, he is trying to pull himself up on everything! oh man, he tries soo soo hard. he is changing right before our eyes!

although at the end of the day, he still is our little baby. this is one of our most favorite faces, all full of milk.
