Funny Faces

Well the week started out with Jack and some swollen lymph nodes resulting in a stiff neck - the last thing we wanted to see based on the bacterial meningitis bout just over a month earlier. Fortunately, per the doctor is it is just a bout of strep throat and he was pretty much fine by Wednesday and is finishing up his course of antibiotics. Because of his illness Jack got to hang out at home with Mom on Wednesday, and on Friday Lily decided to go to school so Mom and Jack hung out at home, and went for a walk to the creek - Jack loves to throw rocks and dirt into the creek and overall get dirty! Late afternoon Friday, we took another stroll/bike ride

On Saturday, Lily had her swim lessons, and we spent some time outside playing although we tried to stay in the shade because we are in the middle of a heat wave with temperatures in the 90's! Later in the day we visited with and dined with Ms. Michelle, Mr. John, Hayley and Cole. On Sunday, Lily had fun at tennis lessons, and later Jack and Lily played in the backyard which included time on the swingset and in the sandbox and water/sand table. We got a preview for the summer as Jack proceeded to soak himself with sand and water! Sunday evening Granpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis came over for a barbeque.

On Monday, Lily went to school and prepared for the Parent Breakfast/Music Presentation being held tomorrow and for her ballet recital in a few weeks. Late Monday afternoon, we got a special visit from Great Uncle Stephen who is in town just for the night, Lily and Jack had a great time with him.

Lily and Jack want to send special birthday wishes to Aunt Tracy who celebrates her birthday on Wednesday, and cousin Casey who turns 1 on Friday!

** We seemed to have some camera issues this week ... here is the best of the lot.
