Last month both boys came home from school talking about this assignment they had at school. They received a piece of paper titled “My Hero” and they had to name their hero and draw a picture.
Tubbs told me I was his hero.
I thought he was joking.
But he was serious.
It really touched my heart because I thought for sure it would be his dad. I told him to bring it home so I could see it.
Then he told me that his paper won an award and was hung up in the library….which meant he couldn’t bring it home for a while.
A few weeks ago was the book fair in the boys' school library. On family night I took the boys to pick out a few books. When I was paying for the books, Tubbs pointed up on the wall and showed me his Hero paper. He wasn't lying! It really said his mom was his hero. It melted my heart!!
I love you Tubbs…and thanks for picking mama as your hero!
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.
