I put up some new pics in the 2007 II gallery.

In cased you missed it. . . .
Susan turned thirty yesterday. It was a fairly relaxed day. A lot of cake was eaten. Hammocks were laid in.
Around the Horn
Two weeks ago tonight, Andrew started his 5 day fever. Mari got sick at the end of that week. Susan got sick at the beginning of the next week. I got it mid-week, and it appears as though Elliot just had a little touch of it as well. I would like to believe that we are finished with this bug.
Parents & Tots II
Mari & Susan started Parents & Tots this morning. The plan is that Elliot stays home with me, Rob, until after his nap and then I take him to the school for the remainder of the class. This morning he slept in late and then took a late nap, so he missed the whole class. Andrew hung out with Aunt Jill so that I could get some work done while Elliot napped.
Pot-Luck Trifecta
Friday Night: La Leche League
Saturday Night: Waldorf School
Sunday Night: Friend’s Birthday Party.
It was a fun, busy weekend. Mari and I actually skipped the LLL pot-luck on Friday night because she was not feeling well.
Heating Up
Mari had a fever last night. Hopefully hers won’t last five days, like Andrew’s did.
Cooling Off
Andrew’s fever appears to have subsided, which would be a good thing. Hopefully it won’t come back. This isn’t the first time that we have thought it was gone.
Sick Kids
Elliot: Went to the urologist today to talk about his reflux. More tests in six months, then again six months later. In the meantime, hopefully he won’t have any more urinary tract infections.
Mari: Pink-eye is almost cleared up.
Andrew: Has had a fever, with no other symptoms, since Saturday. If it’s not gone by morning (and I don’t know why it would be), he is going to the doctor.
Soccer Can Wait
Andrew loves soccer. In fact, he loves all sports. Lately we have heard of several other kids his age who are starting to play soccer (of some sort, I guess). I mentioned something to Susan about it tonight and we quickly agreed that we don’t really feel like there is a a good reason to start him playing soccer so soon. About fifteen minutes later she sat down to read Mothering Magazine and there was an article called “Soccer Can Wait.” We agree.
Long Weekend
We had a long, but fun, weekend.
Erin, Nate, Ian, and Cameron were in town, arriving last Wednesday. We had a lot of fun hanging out with them and our kids played really well together. Things were pretty low-key.
On Saturday night, we hit Old Timers Day at The Rabbit Hash General Store, which was really fun. Our main reason for going was to check out Jake Speed and the Freddies, who did not disappoint. Their bluegrass/Ohio River style fit in perfectly with the river as a backdrop. We took the Anderson Ferry across the river on the way there, which was a nice little touch as well.
