Hop Skip and Two Weeks Later...

I know, I know... it's been a whole two weeks since I last wrote in here. It's been a while. In all fairness, the whole family has been incredibly sick, which means that there have been fewer fun events occurring as we are all incredibly irritable and just attempting to sleep and get better.

It all started with the Goobster. The poor kid apparently got sick over the Fourth of July and is just now finally beginning to feel better. As he spends a ton of fun time with us every weekend, he in turn got all of us sick about two weeks ago. Bennett was the first to succomb. Even worse for Bennet - he ended up developing a bacterial infection from the cold, and then also got ringworm from some child at his school on top of that (eew... gross... I know). As of today, he is totally off the antibiotics, and his disgusting fungal infection is getting loads better (THANK GOODNESS!) At home, we have been working on his rolling over - which he now officially does both ways, sitting - he is very good at keeping himself up, and simply having fun enjoying our time playing. After Bennett got sick, both Jae and myself did as well. Hence the two week hiatus.

As of late last week, everyone was feeling slightly better - good enough to start coming back to normal life. On Thursday, I picked Kaeden up from his mom's house as per usual. We got to chatting about his flag football that will be happening this fall. During this conversation, Kaeden mentioned that he can't wait to teach Bennett how to play. I replied, "You are such a good big brother, Goob", and then Kaeden responded with, "Yeah - Bennett's my best friend". It just melted my heart!

Friday evening, we had our friends Tia and Bill's wedding. It was nice to be outside on such a beautiful day. As Jae and I were at the wedding all evening, Grandma and Grandpa watched the kids overnight. When I spoke with Kaeden on the phone that evening, it sounded like he was having a blast as he had watched Cars 2 with Grandpa, played a bunch of crazy eights, and had eaten a ton of candy and popcorn :)

Saturday ended up being a nice relaxing day. Sunday was Grandma Kathy's birthday. For this, we had lunch at Julie's and then proceeded to our house for champagne.

Overall, it was a nice relaxing weekend!
