Is January really over?

Okay so our weekend the last time I wrote didn't go exactly as planned.  The baby got sick on a Thursday... he was better on Saturday but then Tyler came down with it. So our dinner plans with friends had to be axed.  And since I went out for a girls night the evening before, Ryan went out on bowling with the guys Saturday night.  Sunday was spent nursing the sick little boy with his hurt neck(he meant throat).  We went to visit our great doctor on Monday. She confirmed that the poor little guy had strep throat.  He got two doses of amoxicillin in him and all was right in his world.  Of course not for Rebecca and me who both came down with a nasty stomach bug, probably from the visit to the md. office the day before.  Jason also caught the stomach bug that week.  Fortunately (for me) that was the week I was getting to go visit with Catherine and Nick so I got to leave the sick house for a while.

Oh and the day I left was Rebecca's game day at POP. It was so cute.  Her class was the Saints. Both of her teachers are from the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area. They had the cutest cheers made up.  And the school set up such fun games for them.  Outside they played volleyball, frisbee, tee-ball, soccer and kickball. Inside they had hockey, gymnastics, football, basketball, golf and tennis. It was so cute.  And of course a "super" (you all know those moms I am talking about...I so wish I had it together enough to be as creative as they are) mom from Rebecca's class made jello molds of footballs and helmets for the kids as well as sports themed cupcakes.  The class had a sports event themed lunch and all the kids got medals when the day was over.  It was great.

The weekend was great...extremely relaxing. Catherine and I spent Friday at her doctors office and registering for the baby.  Catherine and Nick have picked a name....finally! I was about to go crazy with all the indecision.  Baby girl is now Kennedy Grace.  I know, it is perfect, right? I can't wait to spoil her rotten.  We also went out for a nice dinner and lunch the next day. Of course a trip to NJ in the winter wouldn't be complete without snow so we rented some movies and hunkered down for a night in. Poor Nick almost had to watch chick flicks with us but found some jobs to do around the house.  Speaking of the house, they have done so much work to it since the last time I visited.  It looked great then, but looks even better now.  I am excited for my next trip up in March because I know some of the projects on the horizon and I can't wait to see them completed. My weekend was rounded out with a great visit with my college friend Sara.  We went to her house for lunch. Her house is so nice as well. I hadn't been there since Catherine got married and they were only under contract then. So this was the first time inside.  It is a great house...lots of character in a suburb of Philadelphia. Lunch was great but catching up was even better. I was a little sad to come back home but ready to see my babies. I missed them while I was away.
