Weekend in Cadillac

We spent this past weekend in Cadillac with Curt's family. We went up a day early to have my sister-in-law, Betsy, take some family pictures. It was cold and raining on and off on Friday, but we gave the pictures a shot and she was able to get some cute ones.

The weekend kinda went downhill from there because Ben started a fever that afternoon. It wasn't really high (around 101), so we gave him some medicine and he seemed to be doing okay. Saturday he was okay in the morning when he opened his birthday presents, but by the evening he was really hot. The fever got up to 103.8 at one point! We called Ben's pediatrician's office to get some advice. They said there is a fever virus going around that is lasting 3-5 days with temps up to 104. She said to keep doing what we were doing, so that was reassuring. Thankfully his fever did not get that high again on Sunday. He's still sick today, so we're watching Rio for the hundredth time. :) Hopefully he will be fever free tomorrow!

Poor buddy. I hope he's feeling better today. He looked so miserable and I know it was hard on you guys too. Not much sleep for any of you that weekend. Hopefully he's all healthy and doing well today! I think all the cousins are still healthy so far! :))
Have an awesome week!
Love,
betsy

I felt so sorry for Ben because that's not what the weekend was supposed to be like for him, or you! :-( It was really good to be with you again though, and I'm very thankful he's back to normal now. Looking forward to the next visit. :-)
Love and Hugs~

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
