Time for an update!

Sorry it's been a while. This will be brief. It's been a busy 2 weeks. Just after the last post Ben got pretty sick. We're not quite sure with what. He just had a high fever, crabby, and sleepy for 4 or 5 days. Allison got to experience some of this. He was running a fever of 104 for a day, then 102-103 for the next 3 days. So, lots of medicine. Up every 3 hours to medicate. All that.

We no sooner got him better and my Mom and little sister came to stay for 5 days. They were doing a seminar for dance downtown. It was fun having them here. We spent the evenings making dinner and playing cards. They loved spending that time with Ben.

The same day they left, I left with Ben to go to the cottage for the weekend. Ben and I spent the weekend with Lenore, Skip, Stephanie, Lianna, Devin, Meghan, Morgan, and Blake. It was a full house. So much fun! Not a lot of sleep. You know how us sisters are when we get together.

I got back Sunday night. Went to work Monday. By Tuesday I was not feeling great. I then got sicker than I have gotten in a long time. I had a 103 fever, body aches, headaches, the whole package. Today, I'm just starting to feel normal.

Whew! Maybe getting back to normal?!

Ben update: He's getting big! So cute. Still a wonderful baby. As you can see, he's sitting up great. The big issues now are that he is finally popping through some teeth which is making him kinda cranky. He's also slam in the middle of the separation anxiety. He wants Mommy ALL THE TIME! If I dare walk out of the room, it's messy. Actually, if I dare turn my back on him, we see crabby face. Panic ensues! I hear this is just a phase.
