Our Dog Reagan

Today we had a huge scare. Reagan our 9 yr. old german sheperd and 1st baby of the Felsher household had a seizure. It was terrible and really freaked John and I out. John was pretty hysterical, he kept telling me Reagan was dying in his arms.

I had 2 birthday parties to attend with Parker so John took Reagan to the ER vet that is open on weekends since our regular vet had already closed for the day. They ran blood work and did x-rays but didn't find anything too abnormal. The vet said to just watch him and if he has another one we may want to do further testing.

We were relieved to know that Reagan seems to be ok, but are still a little anxious in knowing that a seizure sometimes is the indication of a bigger problem.

I am thankful that today wasn't the day for the end of our wonderful dog Reagan!

1st Haircut

I finally gave in and did it----------Parker's 1st haircut. I do admit that the bangs were hanging in his eyes but I didn't want the precious curls to go away. I love the blond curly hair!!! I called Tina, the girl that cuts my hair, and asked her to PLEASE cut Parker's hair. I wasn't sure if she even did kids hair, but she said yes and today was the day.

I knew he wouldn't scream or cry, but I wasn't sure if he would sit still. He really surprised me and did great. It may have helped that I gave him a sucker during the process, but whatever works.

He still has his curls but the bangs are better and just a little trim was all Tina did.

We also started Kindermusik this week and he loved it. I am excited about this weekly outing for the both of us. He loves the other children and loves music so it is a great fit.

Parker loves to play with balls and is throwing them along with everything else. I have been trying to work on the NOT THROWING THINGS but today was "the straw that broke the camels back". We were at the Children's museum for Bear Club(which is very similar to Mother Goose programs at the library) and Parker threw a toy and hit a baby, can I say a baby, in a carrier. I was mortified and the mom looked at me like I had a demon child. Of course I yanked Parker up immediately and tried to apologize to the mom. So now the new rule is that there is NO throwing in the house PERIOD, only outside. And like I told Parker this afternoon, if he throws in the house, he will get a spankin. Geez!!!!

So, So Sorry

Summertime fun!!! Eating lots and lots of popsicles, chasing Reagan everywhere and riding my new 4-wheeler! I guess it doesn't get much better than all that.










I know it has been forever since I last blogged. I am reminded that there are those out there that read my blog, especially when I get asked if I updated it this week. Well here it goes.

I have been so busy, which doesn't really make since, because unlike some of you I don't have a little one starting school but some how my time has gotten away from me. Last Wed. was my Dad's birthday so Parker and I went up to New Albany to surprise him. He had hernia surgery a couple of weeks ago and is still sore and wasn't up to coming to the coast to visit us. I was reminded by the grandparents that it had been too long since they had seen Parker! I was really worried about the 5 1/2 hr. trip up there by myself with Parker. Yes, I had done it before, but not at this BUSY stage of his little life. THE CHILD DOESN'T SIT STILL!!!!! So I asked so many of ya'll to pray for me on Wed. and they all were answered. Parker did very well. He only slept about 1.5 hrs out of the 5.5 but the rest of the time I spent handing back toys, food, candy and a sippy cup. Whatever works, I say!!!




We stayed in New Albany until Friday evening and then headed to Columbus which is 1.5 hrs. away to visit my Nanny. She is having problems with her knee and needed a little cheering up. We were surprised to also have my cousin Jay and his precious wife Rebecca also come to Columbus for the weekend so we got to visit with them too. Parker and I headed home on Sat. afternoon and thankfully he slept the majority of the way home.

Well as you all must know, unless you live in a box, there is a storm out there. Friday is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina the this storm is headed our way for Monday. Still waiting until this weekend to make a decision on what to do---I hate evacuating but want to be safe. Of course John is insisting we evacuate and he will stay back. I don't like that idea either but he usually wins out. I was headed to Stacy's this weekend to help her unpack her kitchen and closets of her new house. Since I am very OCD she asked for my help. So instead of me heading up without Parker(daddy duty was gonna happen)I may have him with me. I will keep everyone posted.

Dog Days Of Summer

I can't believe summer is almost over----yes, I know the weather doesn't feel like it is coming to an end. With all the kids starting back to school last week or this week, that always signals me to the end of summertime.

We had a great summer of '08----hope each of you did as well. With visiting the beach twice, spending time with family and friends and all the days at the pool, playground, and splash-pad park, we had a great time, but I am just a little excited to get back into a routine. You know, I love routine!!!

Parker is starting Mother's Mornings Out at Bay Vista Baptist Church the 1st week in September. It is only 2 mornings a week for a few hours but I am excited about the oppurtunity. He loves other kids and I know this will be good for him as well as good for Momma.

I have been packing up all my baby bottles, baby clothes and other baby items to pass along to my sister. See is due the end of February and has gottem rid of alot of her baby stuff! While going back through all the items I was a little sad but the feeling quickly passed. I will have to admit (hope this doesn't make me a bad momma) but I really didn't enjoy that "whole baby stage". I enjoy the age Parker is at right now so much more. He has so much fun each and everyday and LOVES his MOMMA!!! I can definitely say the feeling is mutual.

Parker at 15mo.

This is the new picture we got taken of Parker. The were supposed to be for his 1 year but momma was a little tardy and the time got away from me, but he was cutier at this stage anyway!

Crazy Summer Days!!!

Well we just got back from another great trip to the beach----I could totally live down there. I know y'all are thinking you do live on the coast, but the MS coast just isn't like the Floriday coast----you can't beat that crystal blue water!!!!

This was the annual trip my whole family takes to the beach each summer so it was: my parents, Stacy and her kiddos, and Parker and I. David was able to come down for the weekend, but John was working.

Most of you that check my blog also check my sister's, but in case you haven't heard yet---I'm going to be an aunt again. Stacy is pregnant with Seago baby #3----bless her. She is due the end of February and has decided not to find out the sex. She figures with one of each, this time let it be a surprise. We say the more the merrier.

I didn't take any pictures while on vacation (it is really hard to do while chasing around a 16mo. old), but luckily Stacy took alot. So I will post them when they are pasted along to me.

Hope summer has been GRAND for all of y'all too.
