Recovery Food

After a rainy 120 drive, we anxiously arrived home from Madera Saturday around 4:30pm Saturday.
Grandma and Grandpa Hogue were there with the boys and the house was quiet...and CLEAN.
(Luke informs me what while Petunia and I were in the ER Wednesday morning he started cleaning the house and touch-up painting the kitchen because he didn't know what else to do. I LOVE this man!)

Anywho, about 30 minutes after we get home, friends call and offer to share their dinner with us. (Luke was originally supposed to be at this friend's house for a college football game so they had a lot of food to share. They had shrimp, craw fish, crab, potatoes and sausage.)
So nice of them to share their party food.


About an hour later our wonderful neighbors and friends came over to bring some lovin and treats.
Peanut butter cupcakes! (Petunia was able to sample the frosting....much to her delight!)


Sunday evening a surprise knock on the door brought more treats from a friend I adore.
I haven't figured out exactly what the ingredients in these morsels are yet, but they were so good the plate was polished clean by Monday afternoon.
I tasted M&M's + peanut butter + oatmeal = Deliciousness.


Not long after these morsels arrived, our neighbor friends drop off more goodies ....brownie cupcakes with marshmallow, peanut butter and chocolate drizzled on top.
WOW!


Thank you for the all fabulous treats. It appears my friends know just what to do in times like this! :)

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.
