Weekend Update...

We've been due to visit Karen & Bob & their girls for a couple of months and already had to postpone once due to sick children (in both our houses) so when we found out that the floors could only be installed on Saturday morning, we asked them to come first thing in the morning so that we could get to Barrie at a decent time. We were due to spend the night. So Friday night, after all the kids went to bed, I breathed a sigh of relief that no one was sick and our plans were going forward...10pm, a loud barking noise came through the baby monitor. We went in to check on Henry and he was coughing a bark like a seal and was burning up. He spent the night in our bed barely sleeping and seemed fine in the morning. I don't know a lot about croup, but I think it's a cough that flares up at night and that the best remedy for it is cool air & a cool mist vaporizor. So we adjusted our plans somewhat and spent the afternoon & evening in Barrie and drove home at the kids' bedtime. Henry did get a fever again Saturday night and had a very restless sleep so I'm glad we opted to come home, but I'm also glad we didn't cancel the visit entirely. The kids had a great time and so did we.















Henry's sleeping well so far tonight although he's been talking in his sleep a lot. He played outside a lot today with Hannah & Jack and they were all glad to get out in the nice weather.

As far as the kitchen goes...the floors are in and the cabinets are due to be installed tomorrow. I'll be at jury selection (for the second Monday in a row!) so I'll be pretty excited to get home and see how everything looks. Jason's taken the day off so he'll see the work in progress and also get to take the kids to school! I think he's really looking forward to it. I know the kids are!
