Alas, Another Cold!

Here is a cute picture of Jordon. I tried to get a picture of him kissing the glass door but this was the best I could do! You see the smudge marks!?

We have a sick toddler in the house again. He woke up this morning all runny nosed and not feeling good. I'm hoping this is the last teething cold he'll have in order to get these last teeth through, the eye teeth and the last two bottom teeth. (besides the 2 year molars). He's been working on them for months but this morning i was able to see some white bumps possibly coming to surface. He'll be fine in a few days, i just have to deal with a cranky toddler who isn't feeling good. oh well, it comes with parenting.
Also i was wondering what cool toys to get for a toddler boy, he seems to be getting a little bored. I think that is part of his whining. So any advice would be great. He's also a bit daddy deprived, he hardly sees him. You would think with a new calling in YM's we would see him more, but not really. He's sometimes gone 3 times a week due to YM's meetings, mutual, and scouting roundtable every now and then. But we value the time we have with him. Yesterday though, Jordon was acting lost and was walking round and round the house calling out for daddy, and trying to find him. With a long labor day weekend with Daddy, he got confused. He has sure turned into a daddy's boy!
On a sidenote, my mom had a procedure done a couple days ago. They had to put a scope down her throat to see what was going on. She has acid reflux problem where some foods don't agree with her, and sometimes she chokes alot on her food, i guess stu's dad has the same problem. But they haven't ruled out anything with the reflux if that's the problem or not, but they did say she has a severe stomach inflammation. I'm going to find out her results on Friday, so those of you that know my mom could keep her in your prayers that would be great.
I've been busy with a bathroom project that i finished last week. We updated the paint job and the outlet plates from tan to white. I painted the floorboards,ceiling, and door white. It's very nice to have the guest bathroom looking good. We are going to resurface the tub later. Here's a picture of the final project.

Hooray for Fall!

I'm so excited for the fall. This morning was wonderful. I think it was about 70 around 8 am. Jordon and I celebrated by having a nice stroller ride this morning. Something about cool weather i just love. Oh, wait, i guess that comes from growing up in Montana! I have actually climatized a lot since moving to Texas. I went to a musical last weekend with Laura and Megan, and they cranked up the a/c in that building that i was actually complaining to them.

I am so excited for the upcoming fall events too, especially for Halloween. As long as Jordon doesn't outgrow his halloween costume, he's going to be pooh bear this year. Chris is going as Christopher Robin, and I'll either be darby or rabbit, but i'm not quite sure. My side of the family is going to have maybe Brinton as Eeyore and Anya as darby or something, i'm hoping Ella will be a Hundred Acre Woods character too.

I always love this time of year with the leaves changing and the crisp air, and being able to snuggle up in a nice blanket(as long as it's cold enough), and being able to spend holidays with family. I can't wait to be able to have a nice Alleman Christmas. We got jipped out of one last year. It was still a lot of fun just the three of us, but we sure missed a great family crowd. No regrets though for last year, it was the choice we made to help ensure Jordon's head shape to be fixed. I'm very excited to see everyone, it'll be here before you know it!

Hope you like our new fall background!
