More Beach Fun

We love going to the beach. We are so lucky to have Presque Isle so close....and to have awesome friends to go with :)

Sunshine

We are LOVING the nice weather we've been having here. It's so nice to have sunshine. It has been warm enough that I decided we needed to get Mason a new pool. (I was dumb and left his from last year outside all winter and now it's gross) Here are a few pics of him splashing away...

Presque Isle

We've been having good weather the last couple of days. Mason is starting to feel better too, so we've been trying to take advantage of the sunshine while it lasts. Today we went to Presque Isle with some friends from our ward. He had a great time having other kids to play in the sand with. He especially liked throwing rocks into the water, and they all had fun playing/running away from the waves. The water is pretty frigid still, so letting it touch your feet was about all you could stand.

Bronchitis

Last week, Mason started to get sick. I thought it was just a regular old cold, but he had a cough that just kept getting worse. After 3 days of keeping him quarantined at home, and his ever worsening cough keeping him up at night we decided he needed to see the doctor. Bronchitis. So now he's on antibiotics, and has to have breathing treatments every 6 hours. This is going to make for a VERY long week because the machine is loud and wakes him up when we have to do it in the middle of the night. The last 2 nights he has been awake from about 1:00am-4:00am watching cartoons and wanting to do anything but sleep. It doesn't help that the albuterol in the breathing treatment winds him up...so he ends up crazy-hyper after it's done. The only upside is how cute he is when he holds the mask by himself.

When we were in the office, he was amused enough to pretend to be an elephant while I held the mask on. That quickly wore off and it's more of a battle to get him to wear it long enough. But, he's learning quickly that it's much more pleasant if he just holds it himself...hopefully this persists.
