Molds and Colds

Somewhere in here, beginning of January to early February, we discovered mold growing in our apartment. I sent a friendly letter to our complex management detailing the extent of the problem and asking them to get it checked. Normally, I would just ignore it but there was mold growing on Jack's pillow!!! We also found it around the windows, on the bathroom wall and on the door. Therefore, the letter. Our property manager wrote back with a letter indicating how to deal with mold. Susie then took over. Within a couple of days, the property manager had agreed to several reconstructive plans but not until she had no showed with Susie for several scheduled meetings and basically acted as if we were to blame.

I've never had feelings of persecution but at this point I started to wonder!!! Is the whole world against us?

My cold ended after Susie spent about 5 days taking care of Jack without much help from me. She is the best. She never complained. I went to work and went to bed each day until I got better.

The next weekend, the beginning of this month, we went to stay in a Disney Resort. We stayed at the Port Orleans and pretended we were actually in New Orleans. We went to Epcot and pretended we were travelling around the world together as we dream of frequently. We had a great time. While it was hard to be away from Jack (we woke up Sunday morning more than excited to get home) it was great to have some time away.



This picture was taken at Epcot and sent to Jack via e-mail which he could not open because...HE'S A BABY !!!!!



I began to feel like things were starting to get better. Jack was getting fun. He had started laughing all the time and seemed to truly be developing a real personality...still very particular but with the ability to turn it all around with a little two-toothed charm...he was working on his second tooth.
