After an extra day in the hospital, Auntie Erin and Baby Brendan finally made it home on Monday. Look how happy Sophia is to have a new play thing! She is apparently already treating him how every little brother should be treated- poking him in the belly and pulling his hat off. Off to a good start and it should be years of fun to come!
My week was not nearly so exciting. School, swim lessons and first communion classes. My teacher came down with viral meningitis and was admitted to the hospital for a few days. Fortunately, the viral kind of meningitis is not the scary kind so she is doing much better and will be back on Tuesday. I really, really missed her though and will be happy when she's back!
I did not get meningitis but I did get some kind of stomach thing and was throwing up every hour on the hour from 6:00 PM Thursday night until 4:00 AM on Friday. Because dad is a much better parent than mom will ever be, he slept on the trundle bed in my room with me for the whole night and so was up every hour on the hour as well. He also got to stay home with me on Friday but I did feel better by then and by Saturday, I was bouncing off the walls and ready to go.
We had a very quiet weekend and spent most of Saturday just enjoying the fact that we had nothing to do and didn't feel like doing anything.
Dad is going to be riding in a 24 hour mountain bike race in February (with none other than Mr. Walker!) so we got up early Sunday and headed out to my friend Madeline's house so her dad and my dad could get in a training ride. The ladies stayed back home and mom needled Ms. Audrey's plantar fascia while Madeline and I played Wii. It was another nice relaxing day.
Monday morning, dad had to fly out to Washington D.C. for work. Here's the twist- it's for his old job. So the first time he has to travel in months and months isn't for his new job but his old one. It seems they just love him and can't let him go! He comes home on Wednesday and I already can't wait.
Have a great rest of the week!
