A day in the life...: July 2012

Oh, wait...we haven't had any regularly scheduled anything! Yes, I know it has been forever since I've posted. Let's just say our lives have been hectic. At the beginning of June, Palmer and I flew to NJ to meet the newest member of our family...Alyson Lynne Tillman! He was ubber excited to meet her but I think she was less than impressed :-).

Palmer also got to meet his Aunt Pishy (my sister, Tricia) and Uncle Daniel...

He had fun playing with Poppa...

Unfortunately, all that traveling did not agree with Palmer. Not long after returning home, Palmer developed his first ear infection...a double one! It started with a really bad runny nose which I chocked up to teething but then Thursday night he was just miserable. He woke up numerous times screaming and was inconsolable...by morning he had spiked a fever of 102! It was so hard to see him not feeling well...

It was especially hard because we were scheduled to be flying to Virgina for a Carlson family vacation on Saturday morning! Thankfully, I was able to have someone cover me at work and get Palmer into his pediatrician early Friday morning. We got our antibiotics and kept him loaded with baby Tylenol! Despite all of that, he had a remarkably uneventful plane trip.

I was a bad photographer on this particular trip but I will leave you with a few gems...
