I Need a Hobby...

I have come to the realization that I need a hobby. Some people like gardening, scrapbooking or even cooking. I will be turning 30 this year and realize there is nothing that I am truly passionate about. Sure, I love to Facebook, blog and spend hours on Pinterest but as far as something outside of the web, my hobbies are, well, none. Spending time with my family is certainly fulfilling but I need to find something for myself, something that I can put my spare time into (that is, when I have spare time without the munchkins). I would love to get into scrapbooking but find that it's too expensive. Besides, I would much rather make my photo books using Shutterfly. I have been checking out a lot of crafting ideas through Pinterest and have found so many neat ideas. Still, I need a passion, something that I love to do and that I can be proud of.

Perhaps a hobby will present itself in time. For now, I will continue to blog, Facebook and utilize Pinterest.

An Angry Birds Birthday

Noah turned 4 on January 31st. On February 4th, we had a birthday party for him at our house with an Angry Bird theme. The turn out for his party was great and Noah had a blast. After the ER visit the morning of his birthday, this party is just what he needed. Check out photos of Noah's Angry Bird bash!

Birthday Bummer

January 31st is Noah's 4th Birthday. Our plan was to take Noah out for a fun dinner somewhere as he is having his birthday party this Saturday. After midnight on the 31st, Noah woke up crying, gasping and coughing. It was evident from the sound of his cough that he had croup again. After a breathing treatment and trying to calm him down, I ended up taking him to the emergency room. Thankfully he was not admitted and the doctor was able to get his croup under control. After several hours in the ER, we finally made it home at 4:30 a.m.

While this is not at all how I planned to celebrate Noah's 4th Birthday, I am thankful he is okay and hopeful he will be well in time for his party on Saturday.
