The Wreckage

We received a phone call from Steve's aunt the other day, her opening line to Steve: "Why don't you like me?" Yes, it appears we left illness with our host in Rochester.

We will be heading to the doctor tomorrow with Zach. Sophia is feeling fine. There has been no itinerant services here all week. YIKES! Our poor therapist was sick earlier this week. Yesterday, after a previous night of restlessness during his sleep, Zach was sent home early from school because he was so lethargic. As of last evening, he had a low grade fever for a few hours last night, but otherwise OK. He slept much better, and woke up at 6:30. I decided to keep him home to monitor him and have an appointment at the doctor's office this afternoon to check out those darned ears of his. We didn't competle this round of the antibiotics due to the stomach bug.

Today, Charlie was dropped off, a friend's 95 pound Newfoundland puppy (9 months I think.) That is definitely adding to the craziness in the household, but it is good for the kids to stay used to having a pet around, just in case the pet gods ever decide to grace us with another one. Charlie is fun. However, knowing the potential for 150 pounds, I can honestly say that Newfies will likely not be the preferred choice for this house!

Sophia is so excited about Charlie that she actually wished for her first snow day today. And this is a kid who definitely loves school. Her teacher told her if she slept with her PJs inside out, there would be a snow day. Well, she didn't (sensory issues with the buttons on the inside) and there wasn't (roads were cleared in the middle of the night.)

This weekend will be spent playing with Charlie, a birthday party, and attempting to clean the house. Hoping to get everyone super healthy.
