Easter 2008

L-Train's First Fall

Easter morning was rough for our family. We were up at 6am, plenty of time to make 8:00 service. Al was in the shower and Landon was naked on the bed getting a diaper change. I turned to get his lotion from the counter and before I could turn back, I heard a terrible thud. Landon had crawled right off the bed and hit his eye on a metal floor lamp. Needless to say, he was crying - I was crying! I knew better than to leave him alone on the bed. Well, look at our handsome little guy in his Easter tie and matching black eye. It didn't turn out as bad as I expected, but it was his first fall and mommy felt so bad about it all day.

Date Night

Thanks to our friend Mike Gundzik who gave us a gift certificate to one of the best restaurants in Philly, Vetri. When we had Landon, he said, "I already know you guys are going to make great parents and will get all the diapers Landon needs. So, what I want to give you is a date night for the two of you so you can go celebrate becoming parents." We finally made it out, 6 months later. The food was amazing & it was one of our best dates ever! Thanks so much, Mike!

I'm Sick!

Had to post Landon's booger face shots!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm sure most of you all had some form of that terrible flu bug that went around this season. It hit all three of us, but poor Landon had it the worst. Grandma Dee Dee took good care of him. When we got home from work, Landon's fever spiked and he was lifeless. We took him to the hospital because he couldn't even keep the Tylenol down. He had a fever of 104 degrees. Poor Baby!

P.S. I must add a Post Script to this blog entry after both of my sisters called concerned that their nephew was sleeping in a crib on a pillow at night. No worries to all our blog readers: Landon was only propped up on a pillow right then as we waited for a call from the doctor to decide if we were going to the office or the hospital. The Schwartz family is very sensitive to sleep safety issues after our brother, Michael, passed away as an infant from SIDS. What a terrible and still mysterious condition. Our family honors the memory of sweet baby Michael and thanks God for the healthy babies in our family!
