I hpe this finds you well and that 2011 is treating you well..So it has been a while since I have sent out an update on the Hansen’s.
Well it has been an interesting few weeks at the Hansen house.
I am not sure when I sent the last update, so I will start around Christmas. We went to my parents house in Lampasses and we had a great time with them, my sister and brother in law and my Granny... Nice to have some family time... My parents watched the boys the week before New Years so Joshua and I enjoyed some J and K time that was nice and refreshing... Our New Year day was spent picking up our boys and coming back home to get everything settled.
That should kind of catch us up for now...
Tyler is doing great in preschool and loving it. He is still all about his Hot Wheels and Monster Trucks. The comments he comes up with are just too funny, I will say he is one witty kid. A few weeks ago we noticed that while he was watching TV his right eye would cross. This really did concern Joshua and I so we took him to the Pediatrician who then referred us to an Pediatric Ophthalmology. (side note Tyler now weighs 35 lbs)
We had the appointment with the Pediatric Ophthalmology yesterday. Tyler has Hyperopia (far-sighted) w/ Accommodative Esotropia (Accommodative esotropia is an inward deviation related to very high amount of hyperopia or farsightedness). So she is having him wear glasses, (we ordered them last night and should be in soon, pictures coming soon). The doctor wants him to wear the glasses for three months in hopes to straighten the eye out, and we will need to go for a follow up after three months. She said more than likely he will be wearing glasses from here on out, the question is if the glasses will correct this or if further steps need to be taken. Please keep Tyler in your toughts and prayers.
Parker went for his 15 month well check up a few weeks ago and he weighs 25 lbs and is about 33 inches tall! He had a great check up everything right on track. We are trying to get him to actually talk rather than grunt for everything. Wonder where he gets that from? Last week he came down with Herpangina. What is that? Well, “Herpangina is an acute febrile illness associated with small vesicular or ulcerative lesions on the posterior oropharyngeal structures (enanthem)” (per web). In other words it is a virus that causes blisters in the mouth. The way it can be spread is by mouth or spit. And well most of know most 15 months old love to put everything in their mouth. So here we are Saturday night and Sunday morning sanitizing everything (that a huge amount of toys to wipe down by the way) and making sure Tyler and Parker play separate that was feat in itself. This lasted for about 4 LONG days on the 5th day Parker was feeling much better and appetite back. He now eats as much as Tyler if not more. He is for a growing boy. Parker is walking and running all over the place. When he hears music watch out MJ (RIP), Parker can MOVE...
Joshua is staying busy with work (always a good thing), and being Dad. He is wonderful with the boys and so hands on which is such a blessing. He has taken a new cool role I think as editor of my new blog Hello Rockin Pies. How does this work, easy, I tell him what I want it to say and he makes it sound so good and like me. He has been a great support and rock for everything in our family.
As for me well just me... ahh did you think that was all I was going to put? Nope not me aka Chat Chick.
Let's see in the last few months I have been really taking a hard look at my life and where I am in my life. Am I present, doing what I was created to do, etc.? After much journal time and pie making I am happy to say that I am learning to deal with life's curves and make the most of each day. Oh right pie making.. I am on a new journey as you might know. I am making pies! It is a great therapy. No I am not eating all of them, I share a huge amount of what I make, to coworkers, friends and family and neighbors... Why pies? When I think of the word pie I smile don't You? Need I say more.. Pie makes people happy and smile that is the most fun for me. I love blogging the journey, I have learned so many things from making pies and hope you can follow me through the journey, http://hellorockinpies.blogspot.com/
Hope that catches you up if you wanted to caught up that is..
Have a great night and weekend!
