A Full Weekend

Well, this weekend was a pretty good weekend. Saturday we stuck around the house doing chores, swimming, and having a little family time. Kevin went to help his dad build some stairs.

Saturday night I found a chicken pox behind Derek's ear. I told him by morning he would be covered. He was in denial. He woke up with the spots so I have another couple weeks in again. He was running a fever and feeling pretty awful. He has a hurt ankle to so he is pretty miserable right now. He did sleep through the night though. I was very thankful for that.

Saturday at midnight my brother called me (this was way too late for me) and said that he was going to be down Sunday. He was taking a weekend trip with his friend Tim McCracken. They drove over for the Vici hayride and it was such a quick trip I did not expect to see them. They got here for lunch around one and we had an excellent visit and played Farckle. I love when my family gets to come see me. I don't have any of my family here and I don't always realize how much I miss them until they are here and they leave again.

Me and my bro!

Wynter cheez'n it up with her Uncle Steven.

My weekend turned out to be a good weekend. I feel sorry for Derek and hope that he can feel better soon. September felt pretty rough for three days so that is what I am expecting for him. I hope Wynter comes down with them in the next couple days so that there won't be any more worry about getting out and infecting anyone else.

I am glad I decided to keep school going through the summer so that we can take a brake when the baby is born. The kids have been able to stay pretty busy and not be too bored with us having to be home so much. I am looking forward to enjoying this baby and taking in all those little moments.

So sorry about Dereck, but it is probably better now than later! It will truly be great when baby comes and you all get a lovely break. Good for the kids to have something to keep them busy there at home. We do year round school, so we are currently schooling too. Glad the guys got to go to the hayride, that should be a good memory. So nice to see family.

I love seeing the pictures. Tell Dereck that we are so sorry and we hope that he feels better soon. I also can't wait for the baby so I can enjoy it also . Praying for you and Dereck.

Praying for you all over here. I hope the chicken pox will go thru all the kids too. Just get it down with.

Great pics of the boys. Road trips are such great memories. Colin thought he saw Tim at Vici, now he knows he did. I am glad you got to see your brother. He is a cutie.
