Sick Cycle Carousel

This is going to be a Jack centered post because Lily essentially spent the entire week either in bed or on the couch watching movies...

Last we reported Lily was under the weather and had missed school on Monday. Well she ended up missing the entire week except for a half day on Wednesday and went downhill Wednesday night. By Friday, she went back to the doctor and pneumonia was diagnosed. Once she started on antibiotics her fever was gone and her cough got much better. So she went back to school today, definitely a little pale, but much healthier.

Jack had a good week although he was a little jealous of Lily and all the movies she got to watch, at one point he was pretending that he had a runny nose so he could hopefully join Lily on the couch - he has quite the sense of humor. Jack did get to go to Rosh Hashana services on Wednesday night with Stuart - he was excited to put on his suit jacket and wear a yarmulke. Once at the service, he kept asking when they were going to serve challah. On Thursday night, Jack and Stuart went down the street to have challah, apples, and honey with Gena, Greg, Nate and Gus - Jack ate lots of challah and apples but did not really enjoy dipping into the honey.

The weekend was kind of a wash out with lots of rain and chilly temperatures so soccer was cancelled. Instead we had lunch with John, Michelle, Cole and Hayley, and then the kids hung out in the basement playing with lots of toys and wore every possible dress up outfit. Aunt Kelly then joined us for dinner and she spent the night so Mom and Dad could wake up early to go do a triathlon relay (Mom - swim; Dad - bike). On Sunday, Aunt Kelly made them a feast of a breakfast and then took the kids to see Dolphin Tale which they loved. Thanks Kel!! Post-movie, Jack went to a birthday party for one of his classmates and bounced, ate pizza, ate cake, and ate ice cream. Stuart and the kids then had a quick visit with Grandma Phyllis and dinner with Grandpa Maurice.

We are looking forward to a normal, healthy week to start out October! Enjoy the pics of Jack, Lily will be back next week!
