For some reason tonight, I just don’t really feel like writng much, and I’m just ready to curl up and watch a Christmas movie. So my post will be brief with a few pictures & updates, and then I’ll wrap it up quickly.
First of all, it was so cold today!

Jeff is still working on his car (even right now as I’m writing), so we carpooled again today, which meant I got to ride in the backseat and play with my baby nugget on the way to school.

We started off our day with family breakfast at one of our favorite places, Canopy Road Cafe. Megan & Bo were the last to arrive, and Emerson literally ran through the restaurant to them when they got there. Then she stayed with Aunt Meggie for a quite a while. Then I was the first person to get my food, so of course she came back to see Mommy. Then Gabe’s food came, and the funfetti pancake was set right in front of her, and she could hardly stand it! Eventually she grabbed her own fork, & dug right in it! On out way out once we finished, we ran into a fellow NFC alum and blog reader, Hi, Connie!

Ok first of all, is it considered black Friday still, even if you don’t do any black Friday shopping? Because we didn’t. And I didn’t miss it one bit. Moving on!
For breakfast today, I made ham, egg & cheese sliders. The recipe is from one of those Tasty videos on Facebook, but it’s super simple. Scramble 9 eggs, slice a pack of Hawaiian rolls open, layer eggs, ham & bacon, and cheddar cheese, top with rolls. Butter the tops, and bake for 15-20 minutes on 350°. (We didn’t have bacon today, but they were still delicious.)

We had a simple breakfast of store-bought cinnamon rolls this morning, so we wouldn’t get full before Thanksgiving lunch.

As usual, we stopped for our morning loves at the front desk with Aunt Meggie before heading to class. normally I carry her from the desk to her classroom, but today she was feeling like little Miss Independent, so she had to walk down the hall all by herself!

This time of year germs are running rampant through all the schools and daycare’s. In my daily blog post entry from Monday, I went on a little rant about people touching babies & spreading germs, and this story is the main reason why. Last year unfortunately, we dealt with germs & illness the hard way. This is a post about when Emerson was hospitalized with RSV at 4 months old, during November 2017…
It initially started out as just a cold (runny nose, little cough), and not much more. But it persisted for quite a while. (A year later I don’t remember how long, but it was at least 3 weeks, maybe even four.) But since it was just a cold, there wasn’t much we could do for her, except a few “home remedies.” We held her while the shower steamed up the bathroom, she slept at an incline in her rock-n-play, we used the NoseFrida to suction all the excess snot out of her nose, and we bought a humidifier for the bedroom. We gave her Zarbee’s cough syrup for infants, and put Zarbee’s rub on her chest (like Vicks VapoRub for babies). But the cold persisted. …

I love seeing all the different toys that Emerson chooses to okay with at drop-off each morning. I was surprised when she chose the giant plane this morning!
