The best laid plans...

So we had lots of fun plans in place for this weekend. The VT/Duke football game with the Carpenters, tailgating with the Steeles, breakfast with Granny, and dinner with Melissa. It all started falling apart Thursday when Kenny and I both thought we were starting to get sick. By Friday night, I barely had a voice and Kenny had a fever close to 102. The high in Blacksburg was projected to be in the 30's. As the night wore on, it became clearer and clearer that it just wasn't going to happen. :(! We were so sad. We knew better than to go, but we really wanted to. It was a good thing we didn't since we woke up much Saturday morning sicker than we went to bed and Sunday morning was even worse as I woke up with yet another ailment, pink eye! So this morning Kenny and I found ourselves at the doctor's office getting some of the same antibiotics that Jack is currently on to treat our painful ear infections. Needless to say, we have a new respect for how well Jack handles his ear infections. We had forgotten how badly THEY HURT and he never seems to mind. He smiles through them much better than we have!



The report from Blacksburg was that it was COLD! Dillyn said she was a popsicle by the time it was over. We understand it was the 2nd coldest game in Blacksburg since Beamer has been the coach! I am so glad we didn't attempt it, though I know we missed out on a lot of fun.

Staying home meant lots of time just hanging around relaxing. I think we all needed it.

Jack loves standing up at the coffee table and reaching for whatever he can see and banging on the table.



He also loves chewing on it. His little gums are so raised and you can feel the teeth underneath but they are taking their time popping through. The coffee table is his favorite teether...



Two other funny pictures from the weekend...

He came home from school Friday with a mowhawk!


The classic Jack brow furrow. Kenny says he looks just like me when he furrows his brow...



Thanksgiving is coming soon and we've all got to be better, so we're laying low until that's the case. Hope you all have a great week!
