Family Fun, Sickness, and Celebration

It has been over a week since I last posted, but there has been no time for blogging, I assure you. This picture shows what I have been doing some of the time. Rocking sweet Clancy. It is a rare privilege anymore to get to rock him. So, when he is willing, I am able. We arrived back in Bastrop last Sunday afternoon with Bridget and Clancy. It was a good trip, but we were all pretty weary once we got home. It has been a fun week. The following pictures will capture some of what this week has been about.




Clancy enjoyed swimming for the first time with his Mommy and Aunt Rue Rue. He absolutely loved it! They make such neat little gadgets to put them in to shield them from the sun. Just too many cute options available for little ones today. We enjoyed celebrating Bridget's 30th birthday (a little early, her birthday is July 3) and Father's Day on Friday evening. I grilled steak, fixed potatoes, salad and bread for dinner and we all enjoyed it. Of course, the birthday cake was the "hit" of the evening.

Everything had gone real well until yesterday afternoon. Clancy had not wanted to eat most of the day but appeared to be fine so we didn't worry a lot about him. Then, out of the blue, he decided to throw up yesterday afternoon and it was obvious that he wasn't feeling well. WE decided to take him to the Dr. since it was late evening and we were so glad we did. He had an ear infection. Things got calmed down and Clancy had a good night, but his Poppa didn't. Tommy has not been sick with a stomach virus in YEARS, but he was last night and continues to feel rough today. He is getting better and hopefully by later this evening he will enter the "land of the living."

Bridget and I are caring for the "sick and afflicted" and enjoying just having fun this afternoon. We are both still in our PJ's, and NO makeup. It really feels good!

I promise to be more attentive to my blog. I miss it when I don't get to blog at least a couple of times a week. A happy week to everyone!
