Beanie Model

Fortunately for this non-crafty mom, Aunt Jenny knits....and has made quite a few beanies for Petunia since she was born.
We are a big fan of the beanies and we are quite spoiled with the beautiful head gear. We have an overabundance of beanies and we LOVE it! Something new to wear everyday when its chilly willy outside.
Aunt Jenny's latest gift is a camoflauge creation with a big black flower clip that can be unattached.
She asked for a few photos to post on the Etsy site she shares with Grandma Hogue and we were happy to oblige! (Link to Etsy Site)






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.
