AN EAR INFECTION AND A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

So yesterday, mine and Chris's anniversary started out with Kaden running a fever and a very yucky nose. For two nights in a row he had been really restless so I knew something was brewing. I stayed home from work and took him to Dr. Sester at 11 and sure enough he had an ear infection. We were only 7 days short of being 7 months old and dang if we didn't get our 1st ear infection and 1st sick child. Well I got Kaden's medicine and got home and got him all fixed up. Chris got home around 3 and we headed to Hoover for his dentist appointment. Yup, a filling on our Anniversary. Even though it was a special day life's daily tasks must go on. After his appointment we went straight to dinner at Heads N Tails in Patton Creek. You can definitely tell we are parents now because we went to dinner at 5:30 and were home by 8:30. But the good thing was that we were there for HAPPY HOUR!!!! We don't get to enjoy that many happy hours these days. :-) After a few drinks and a delicious dinner and an awesome piece of Chocolate Peanut Butter pie, we exchanged gifts.

Chris and I are sorta dorks when it comes to our anniversary. We always give each other whatever the traditional gift is for that particular anniversary. For our one year anniversary (which was paper), I gave Chris a book about Spearfishing and he gave me a book about trying to conceive. So now you all know the thought of having a baby was with us for a while before Quinn and Kaden actually got here. On our second anniversary Chris was out of town working so he sent me an Edibles Bouquet and it was DELICIOUS! I absolutely LOVE fruit! The second wedding anniversary was suppose to be cotton, but since he was away I let him slide plus I had just been shopping for some maternity clothes. ;-) I stuck with the cotton gift and gave him a chef hat that said "Master Chef Chris" since he loves to cook and make his meals look so pretty. On this anniversary Chris made me a sweet card that was addressed "To My Love" and had the sweetest note in it (it made me cry). And then for my leather gift, he gave me a leather braided bracelet that had a heart charm with "Happy Anniversary" engraved on it. I LOVE IT and it goes with my heart necklace that he gave me two Valentine's ago. His gift from me was a watch that had leather within the band. It is really Cool and Handsome!

Our Gifts!

And now we begin year number 4.............;-)
