The Rest of the Visit


Conny and her kids, as well as Kent, Tara and Fyo left on Monday. We had a wonderful visit with cousins, but it has been nice to get back to our normal routine. Unfortunately, things aren't completely back to normal because Ryan has been sick since Monday. The boys rarely get sick more than a little cold, but Ryan has had a fever all week and has felt all around awful. I took him the doctor yesterday and he either has adenoid virus or mono (did you know a 3 year old can get mono?). The doctor thinks it is the former because he has seen alot of it this week and hopefully Ryan will be feeling better this weekend.

Kent and Tara arrived on Friday and we all had a relaxing evening eating in the backyard and letting the kids run in the sprinklers. The boys had their first soccer game on Saturday which was about the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Everyone came to watch and witnessed Luke scoring a goal on his own team (he was so proud of himself). We all went to the pool that afternoon and had a picnic at the park that evening. It was really nice to hang out together outside of a family function. There are more pictures of all of us together, but my camera battery died and I used Conny's camera - and now I can't find them on the computer. Anyways, to end our fun filled action packed week, we went to the zoo on Sunday.

Below are pictures from the week:















Boys!



Below 3 videos: the first is of Luke singing Little Einstein; the second is from their soccer game, including Luke scoring a goal in the wrong goal; and lastly, the kids playing in the sprinkler.






Lastly, 2 pictures from this week.

Luke has been asking why the sun goes down for the last week, so Greg explained it to him last night using an inflatable globe and a tennis ball as the sun.

Luke figured out how to use my laptop on his own today. He can use the finger pad mouse better than most people. His new favorite activity is to play PBSkids.org games on the computer.

Have a good rest of your week, we'll be spending ours at home with a sick child.

Where did you find the inflatable globe? I've been wanting one for Fyo now that he loves playing with balls. So sorry about Ryan - I hope for your sake it isn't mono (though I guess if he had it at three it would better than him getting it in high school or college). I made your sangria tonight - I didn't have an orange so I threw in a nectarine instead and it came out great. Thanks for a really great weekend! It was so good to see you guys and the boys. R & L were so hysterical with their cameras I've been thinking of buying them more - partly to encourage that curiosity & creativity, but mostly because we got such a kick watching them take pictures.
