~EXCITING NEWS~

Well it looks like I will be going to visit Duane in an upcoming port call Next Month (May). I have been wanting to see him but it hasn't worked out over the last few months due to various reasons, but now it finally has!!! I am SOOO EXCITED about it, I can't say what country it will be in due to obvious reasons but I will give ya all a hint...its a gorgeous place somewhere in the Middle East with MANY resorts and where the "Rich and Famous" go to relax... It will be very warm and it has many fabulous Beaches...I can't wait, I will be going around my birthday so it will be my Birthday Present and our anniversary all wraped up in one! Now starts the countdown to the Big day..ha ha...Should be a lovely time and I will make sure to take alot of pictures so I can post them here!!! Anyhow I just wanted to share that good news with everyone!!!!

Asian Attire

Here are a few photos of Trei in his new "Asian"PJ's that Duane sent from Singapore...They are still a little big on him as you will see, but I just had to dress him up and take a few photos in them anyway...I thot he may look like a mini Chris Tucker from "Rush Hour" wearing them, but it turns out he looks like a Mini-Duane instead, Thank God, ha ha! He is WAYY CUTER thanks to Duane's good looks!!

Look at the new PJ's Daddy got for me...

Update

I know, I know, Its been awhile since I have posted anything but there has been ALOT going on since I have moved out to Texas over a month ago...When we got here Trei got sick almost immediately, he had a fever for 5 days and wasn't eating and wasn't his normal happy self..I took him to the Doc and they said that he had a ruptured eardrum in his left ear (which he got from the flight out here) and an ear infection in the other which explains him not feeling well..They gave him 2 Antibiotic shots in his legs and sent me home with antibiotics to give him for the next few days..after the shots he seemed much happier and better for a week or so. Then I noticed he was tugging on his ears so I took him back to the Doc and he said that his Left eardrum was completly better but that he still had an ear infection and perscribed him another dose of Antibiotics...Finally after having him take those for 10 days I took him back once again to the Doctor who told me that his left ear still had a slight ear infection, no need for tubes and his hearing was perfect but wanted me to put him on yet another antibiotic...I have to say I am disullusioned with antibiotics, seems like its the FIRST thing the Doctor suggest giving even though they are apparently NOT working and only tearing down his immune system so now I am going the "Natural route" I picked up some Ear drops from the health food store that mothers swear by...so I guess we shall see this coming Thursday when he goes for his checkup..HOPEFULLY his ear will be better for his sake..All that to say it has been a busy, busy month..
Other then that we have been doing real well, Trei has been having a blast with all his cousins, they are a great source of entertainment for him. Its warming up out here as well, not quite Summer yet but definently heating up...Hopefully the pool will warm up as well so we can take the kiddos swimming.

Trip to the Farm

Today we went to a Small Farm outside of Dallas that has been around for about 100 years, they are one of the farms that produces "Orville" products..They open their farm to the Public which is nice as they have Pigs, sheep, Ponnies, Clydesdale Horses, and all the other "Farm Animals" you expect to see at the farm..its very small so all the animals are up close which Trei loved...We spent the day there with Trei's cousins and his Grandpa and Grandma, he just loved the sheep and the goats and his favorite was the Big Clydesdale Horse called "BIG JOHN", his name says it all, he is HUGE...The Kids all got to feed him a carrot and he still wanted more..It was a fun time and here are a few pictures I took of it. I mostly filmed it as I wanted to send a video of it to Duane, which explains why I don't have too many pictures to post here...
