Anthony Family Status Update

Sorry for the delay in postings. It has been a busy couple of weeks. After coming home from vacation, all three of us got colds. The starter went out on Todd's truck, but my man fixed it himself! I was so proud. The next day Todd left for Montreal for work and for five days I got a chance to see what single mothers go through. I felt like I was performing all three acts in a three-ring circus: wash the bottles while simultaneously kicking the ball for Dixie and singing and making funny faces at Schuyler. She was sniffly all week and just not herself. I thought it was probably teething. Then, on Friday the daycare called not five minutes after I sat down at work to tell me that Schuyler Bird was running a fever of 101.6. I left work immediately and took her to the pediatrician. Right ear infection. Amoxicyllian is an amazing thing. She was back to her normal self in less than 24 hours. And, even better, Daddy came home!

We are heading home to Missouri next week so Schuyler can see her family and finally get to meet her great-grandmothers! We are so excited to take her home.

Schuyler's Beach Vacation

Schuyler takes a dip in the Chesapeake Bay!


Schuyler was tired after her big swim.


"Oh man," says Hudson after being buried in the sand by his own Mother!

Wes is now four years old. I can't believe how "grown-up" he is since we saw him last summer. He is a walking, talking, little man who was very interested in "Baby Schuyler." Hudson is lucky to have such a cool big brother.

Our little "Crab Hunter." Wes probably caught more hermit crabs than all the other kids at the beach combined.

Two very cool Moms after a little shopping trip to the resort shops.

I couldn't let her sleep through both of our trips down to the pool. It looks like she's drowning, but I promise she was not. Much like the beach, she was not necessarily unhappy to be in the water, but I wouldn't say she was happy about it either.

We were so happy to also visit with our friends Sean and Erin and meet their little Hudson. He turns one this month and is quite the ladies man.

The Great Adventures of Dining Out with Children.

Have baby gear, will travel! Looks like we may need to get that roof top carrier for the Subaru sooner than we thought.

Yummy, Sonic!

We had to go south of the Mason-Dixon line, but we got finally got some Chick-Fil-A!

A Day at the Beach

Schuyler enjoyed lounging on the beach in Cape Charles, VA. We had a wonderful vacation with The Ryan family. More pics of our first family vacation coming soon!
