We arrived home safely, only to bring the flu bug home with us!!
It was so awesome seeing Ledger as he woke up Sunday morning. Bobby & I walked into his room together. He was so happy to see Mama and Dada. Sunday night I came down with the flu and due to complications with my blood sugar in combination with the vomiting, I went to the ER and ended up staying for almost 8 hours. It really was the LAST place I wanted to be after only being home for a little over 24 hours. I missed Ledger like crazy still and was in no condition to even spend time with him. It really was the pits. It got much worse though because Ledger got the flu on Tuesday. There is NOTHING worse than seeing your baby be sick and not being able to do anything about it. Ledger just laid in my arms on Tuesday. He was so sick that he didn't talk or move. It was actually frightening because he would only respond to my questions by looking at me. As if that wasn't enough, Bobby got the flu too. We were a mess! Thank God for our family because they helped us out so much. My Dad drove me to the ER at 4 am and took care of Ledger overtime and Cheryl watched Ledge for us over over time although we passed our horrible flu on to her. We are all well now and Ledger is FINALLY keeping solids down after vomiting for almost a full week! He is starting to gain some weight back and it is putting Mama at ease because I was really concerned about him this past week.
I will post some pics and details about our amazing trip sometime this weekend. We are just still trying to catch up on life from last week.

In Ireland
Hi everyone! We are in Dublin having a blast. We have seen so many incredible sights, Dublin Castle, St.Patrick's Cathedral, Trinity College, Guiness factory, Jameson factory, Goal (Jail), etc.. The weather has been great. Chilly but no rain and even sunshine today.
We leave for London in the morning and have to get up at 3:45 am so I should sign off. Missing our baby tons and everyone else at home too.
Cheers!

Dublin & London- Here we come!
So, I really should be packing right now, but I'm avoiding the "joy" of packing until the last minute. We leave around 6:30am on Saturday morning and we will return on the 21st. I'm really looking forward to the trip, but I am growing VERY anxious about the whole thing. It was much easier to leave the country when we didn't have a little guy. He will be with the second best people to his parents, my parents and in laws, so I know he will be fine. It is me I am worried about.
I'll update when we get back. Send warm thoughts our way as it is going to be pretty cold in Ireland and the UK.

Birthday, England, Ireland, and everyday life...
Since Christmas there hasn’t been too much new in our household.
I just celebrated my 27th birthday. My amazing, perfect, wonderful, romantic (yes he is all of these) planned an awesome night for the two of us. I was aware that we were doing something, but I had NO idea it was going to be so memorable.
Bob and I walked out the front door to an awaiting limo. We took off and opened the bottle of champagne that was in the limo. I still had zero idea of where we were going until we got on to highway 50. Then I knew that we were going to Sequoia. (Sequoia is a restaurant in Placerville that is managed by David Bagley who I worked for at Beerman’s and Enotria. Sequoia/Dave also catered Bobby and My wedding. http://www.sequoiaplacerville.com/) The dinner was amazing! Dave treated us so well. I figured that the birthday surprise was the limo and dinner, but Bob also bought me a beautiful star necklace. It was an incredible time and Bob and I had a blast. He truly is my best friend.
Other new news is that Bobby and I are going to Ireland and England! We booked a trip with our good friends Garry and Holly, sans kiddos! I am so nervous about leaving Ledger for a week, but not for him, for me! We leave on Valentine’s Day and come back a week later. We are going to Dublin and we are taking a quick trip to London. I know that it will be amazing and I will update the blog with pictures and details when we get back.
Other than my birthday and our trip The Pierce family has just been doing every day things like making funny foam hair dos in the bath, playing with play-doh, being cute (mostly Ledger and Bobby here) and being silly.

A couple more Christmas pictures
Just a couple more pictures of our cutie opening his Christmas gifts.
Update
As promised, I will finally update our blog. So here is what is new(ish).
I got my insulin pump! It is wonderful and I don't know how I did injections 4 times a day for so many years. It is much easier to regulate my blood sugar and I am feeling great. The holidays have required lots of "pumping up" to take care of the delicious food and goodies, but I am sure that my blood sugars are the best they have been in quite some time.
One reason that I have been so terrible about blogging, excuse coming here... ready? is because I was taking another one of my masters classes and I was SO busy. I don't know what I was thinking taking a masters class with a busy 18 month old, a full time job, husband, and the holidays, but I signed up and with help from Bobby (Thank you baby!) I was able to get everything done. This was a huge feat considering the amount of classwork they were requiring ( a 20 page research paper final), but I made it out alive with an "A". I won't take another class for a while, but I only have 3 left and I will have my masters in ed!
Did I mention that football season ended? We had the banquet a week ago Monday. The season was tough for the boys and the coaches. I have never seen Bobby work so hard in any one season. Luckily, the JV team that will be coming up has some players that should be able to help out. I feel bad for the boys and the coaches, but Ledge and I are very happy to see more of Dada.
As far as Ledger goes, there is so much new everyday that it is difficult to mention it all. After working with him for awhile, he now says his name when you ask him what it is. He says, "Y-E-A-D-DER". The way I spelled it and typed it out gives zero justice to how adorable it is. He is also climbing on everything lately. He learned how to climb on our dining room chairs (they are tall too) and now he only wants to sit in big chairs and climb up and down all day. It is really cool to see him climb on up, but now I can't put stuff on the table anymore unless I want it to be slobbered on, stepped on and thrown on the floor. ;) We are working on teaching Ledger his colors and he already knows green. He says, "blue", "yellow" and "red" but when asked, everything is "geen". When we correct him and let him know it is really yellow, everything form there on out is "ellow". He is getting better and I am sure he will have his colors mastered in no time.
The holidays have been eventful for us. Ledger loves the "pitty yites" (pretty lights) on trees and houses. His very favorite was seeing us turn on our Christmas tree in the morning. Ledger was pretty good about not touching it, but we only decorated the upper half to avoid the constant "NO". We went and visited Grandpa Pierce and Gamellen on Sunday. Ellen and Ledger had a blast running around and playing. Since visiting Gamellen, every clock is now a "tick-tock." He has always been interested in clocks, but he LOVES Grandpa & Gamellen's grandfather clock.
The other day I attempted to be domestic and I made some sugar cookies with Ledger. We had fun rolling out the dough and cutting out trees, snowmen, stars, bells and gingerbread men. I made red, yellow, blue and green frosting and we practiced our colors. He loved baking with me and when the cookies were all frosted he said "pitty cookie". He is such a good boy.
We spent Christmas Eve with the McCartney's this year. The house was busy with grandchildren, running around and laughing. The food was delicious and we were so happy to spend time with family. Bradley and Fallon just keep getting bigger and little Rivers is a doll. It was a nice Christmas Eve. Ledger had a ton of fun playing with his cousins.
Christmas morning was awesome. I have to say that it has been my best Christmas. Watching Ledger open all his gifts with Bobby was almost magical. Having Christmas with a little one is awesome! The Keelings and McCarnteys came over for breakfast borritos (fancy huh?). Ledger got the hang of opening gifts quickly, and with each gift he opened he said, "OOH". Some of his favorite gifts are: bike from Santa, basket ball hoop from Oma & Papa, Thomas the train toothbrush from Mama & Dada, and a flashlight from Grammy & Gee-pa. Oops, I almost forgot his very favorite, a large box!! If he could play peek-a-boo popping out of that box all day, he would. Really.
We hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas. We know that we did! Thank you to all of our family and friends that make our lives so enjoyable. We are incredibly blessed to have such amazing people in our lives.
