Too Much to Blog About...So I'll Blog About Nothing

For me, its been a while since I have blogged. I have had so much going on----like everyone else out there on summer break.
Luke and I just got home this evening, from a weekend at my parents' house, when I sat down on the computer and said, "I have so much to blog about, I mine as well not blog at all." I just feel like I am so behind on "things" I don't know where to start.
But---since Grandma and Grandpa Baer invited us up again for the 4th of July and asked to keep the boys this week (meaning Luke and I are ALMOST childless---with the exception of Scout :) ) I should have some extra time to catch up on what the Hogue's have been up to. But since we will be heading back up north for a LONG holiday weekend I only have 3 short days to catch up on the blog (and go out on some dates with my sweetie).
On that note--how come it always SOUNDS better to be without your kids for a few days....when the reality is my heart aches for them the minute we are apart?! Hugs and Kisses to my little bugs who are hopefully having some fun with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Bertsie and their cousins Cooper, Nattie-Bug, Holden and Autumn. I hope the boys enjoy their 3 days without mama and papa---but that they come running into my arms when we pull up to the house later in the week.

I'm the same as you, I miss my kiddos like crazy when we're apart! I must say, though, it would be worth the heartache to sleep in until 10 or 11 am!

Nick and I were apart from our kids for the first time about a year ago. We were only gone 2 whole days but we were both super anxious to see them. And I cried the first night we were gone. Lame, but I just missed them (and was pregnant too).

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
