Well we are all finally starting to get back to our normal, healthy selves. I still have a good bit of cough left but it is nowhere near as bad as it was. Henry will cough a little during the night but he is doing well.
On Friday we drove to Grand Rapids and picked up Daddy. My mom took a vacation day and went with us. It was lovely to have her for company on the drive down. We stopped for lunch on the way home at Golden Corral. Golden Corral is a buffet place. Everyone got to pick their favorites. Henry ate a lot of pot roast and beans. Roo picked at her food and talked loudly to everyone sitting around us. For some reason I was loving the brussels sprouts. I could have eaten just a plate full of them!
We have just been around the house this weekend. No crazy trips anywhere. Just fun times at home. We went to church on Sunday morning then out for breakfast afterward. We always sit in the "cry room" at church since my kiddies can be a bit loud during mass. Irene was having a fit about...well about anything and everything when a woman came in. She was there for some kind of class or group that was taking place after mass. She had little teddy bears with her and gave one to Irene. The bear was a miracle worker for Roo shut right up :-) The very kind woman also gave one to Henry. I am amazed at the free stuff my kids get all the time!! I would gladly take free stuff...free money please!!
About half way through mass Jill Vasquez came into the cry room with her little (8month old I think) boy. I had seen her and her husband sitting in church. Her son had a brain tumor that they found just before Christmas. It has been removed and he is now doing chemo. I was pleased to see her and to find out how he is doing. There was a fundraiser dinner for him last week that we were going to go to but we were all so sick. So I was glad to get to talk with her. Her son, Noah, is a cutie and I want to cry when I think about him going through this. Jill and her husband Roger are so strong to go through this with him. They also have a super cute daughter, Olivia. We pray for Noah and his family everyday and hope that you'll send your prayers his way too.
I will end this post by counting my blessings and sharing them with you. Below are pictures of my children and dogs playing tackle daddy. Please pardon the mess ;-)
