November 2013

November officially marks the start of the "holiday season" for us.  We had a fantastic month a great start to the holidays.  Here's what we did this month.

The month started off with a family lunch date before Lee left with the UNM football team to travel to San Diego.  While he was in San Diego he had a great time with the team, Lobo donors, and Lobo great Hank Baskett and his family.  Upon Lee's return home, we had a going away dinner with Reggie (we miss him like crazy already!), Landon had a speech therapy session, dinner at the Nunn's house, feeding therapy & occupational therapy sessions for Landon, Lobo basketball game, Dad's 58th birthday, dinner with two potential candidates for a job Lee is hiring, feeding nurse appointment for Landon, Lobo football game vs. Air Force, Landon's friend Micah's 2nd birthday party, finally got myself a hair cut, another Lobo basketball game, and lunch with the Freemans after church.

The second week was a slower week for Landon and me.  We had a play date at the Zoo with the Nunns, "Aunt Debbie" watched Landon for a day, Landon had another occupational therapy session, looked at a few houses for a friend, Landon's soccer session, Lee took a 1/2 day off from work, Lobo Athletics Hall of Honor event, last Lobo football home game, had family pics professionally taken, church and lunch with friends, and a Lobo basketball game.

The third week was filled with a speech therapy session for Landon, Pediatric GI follow up appointment (we got released from this doc today...yay!), Lee flew to Kansas for an overnight trip, Landon had a play date at Micah's house while I went to a doc appointment, I ended up with a stomach virus, Landon's last soccer session, Lee flew to Fresno with the Lobo football team, and we woke up to a blanket of snow and enjoyed a "snow day" at the house on Sunday.



The last week of the month was Thanksgiving week!  Landon had a speech therapy session, I went back to the doctor, mom flew into town, had a rare lazy day on Tuesday, shopped all day on Wednesday since Lee was off of work to watch Landon, cooked and baked all day on Thursday until my brother Jason arrived that afternoon, had Thanksgiving dinner and then lounged around, Jason and Lee played golf on Friday while mom and I shopped then decorated the house for Christmas, had dinner at a New Mexican food restaurant, Mom, Jason, and Lee went to the Lobo basketball game while Landon and I napped at the house, and finally we went to happy hour before coming home and cooking dinner.

Thanksgiving was a blast!  Now on to Christmas season....

October 2013

Fall is upon and I'm late in blogging again....what's new?!  October was a super fun month for us!  Here's what we did this month.

The first week started off with a bang!  I had a dentist appt and Landon had a MRI on his brain.  It was just precautionary but it was so relieving to hear that his brain is functioning perfectly normal.  Landon had to be sedated for the MRI and God once again took away any anxiety and fears that we had.  Side note: Landon has been put under general anesthesia twice and pediatric sedation once and we've had the best experiences all 3 times.  Our little guy is a trooper!  We ended the week with Lee's family and niece coming into town, Landon's soccer session, pumpkin patch with family, Balloon Fiesta, UNM football game, and brunch at Weck's before Lee's family left.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second week of the month was filled with Landon's speech therapy session, botanic garden play date with friends, feeding therapy for Landon, follow up ENT appt for Landon's tubes, lunch with a law student that I mentor, Landon's soccer session, lunch with Lee before he left for Wyoming with the football team, and finally a Balloon Fiesta brunch on the last day for Balloon Fiesta.

 

 

 

 

 



The third week was pretty low key for us.  We had Landon's first occupational therapy session with Sarah followed by Landon's speech therapy session, Landon's feeding nurse came to see us before Landon's soccer session, Lobo Champions Council dinner, Lobo basketball game, Abby's Pi Beta Phi initiation, "Mommy's Day of Fun", UNM football game, and finally Lee traveling to Maryland for a conference.

 

 

 

 



For the first part of the last week of the month, Lee was in Maryland, Landon had his weekly speech therapy session, feeding therapy for Landon, soccer session for the little guy, and my mom came into town and watched Landon while Lee and I flew to Colorado Springs, CO with a group of UNM donors to watch Notre Dame take on & win against Air Force.  It was a much needed get-a-way for Lee and me.  We came back and went to the Zoo and dinner at Trombinos to celebrate Lee's birthday with Landon and mom.  On Lee's actual birthday, Landon and I treated him to lunch after Landon's speech therapy session and then Lee and I had a date night at Season's that night.  Landon also had a follow up appt with his Audiologist (went great and we don't have to go back to see her again!).  He also had another occupational therapy session with Sarah, soccer session, went to Popejoy Hall to see the Ugly Duckling play, and dinner and trick or treating at the Cito's house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October was a very happy and fun filled month for us.  Hope yours was great too!
