Last Week's Happenings

This last week has probably been one of the more trying weeks that I can remember. Right up there with the start of the school year or parent teacher conferences. Blah! Anyways the week started pretty good with the opening of Clark's new birthday present.




He got a 3 in 1 riding Zebra that required some assembling. Clark thought that pieces were interesting, but has had even more fun being able to ride and push the Zebra that looks like a cow but makes Zebra sounds. :)

Then came Monday...

...and with Monday came a very high fever and throwing up and just an all around sick baby. For those of you that KNOW Clark, you know that he doesn't sit still unless he's asleep or sick. Monday was the being very sick that had him sleeping on my chest and screaming any time he left my arms. This made things very difficult when I needed to change clothes for both of us after Clark threw up on the both of us. I went upstairs, knocked on my mommy's door and said, "HELP!!!" Clark screamed when I handed him to my mom to hold so I could change my clothes and the rest of the day he pushed everyone else away who came near us. Even Clint got pushed away. :(
Clark was back to himself by Wednesday and ready for more playing. We even got the dog to participate...




And we even had some rough nights sleeping...

...since Clark decided to jump/climb out of his crib a few weeks ago, I had to take the bumpers out of his crib so that he couldn't use them to climb out. The first few nights/days Clark had a difficult time figuring out how to sleep without sticking his legs through the bars. He's doing much better now. :)

The week ended with a nice visit from Clint's Aunt Jody, Unckie Scott and their dog D'jengo. (Sorry if I didn't get your dog's name spelled correctly.) In fact I think I called him Jenga the first part of the weekend, but that doesn't mean I don't like him as much. He made us miss Reiner, and he was nice to have around along with the human company. :)


Unfortunately, Jody was in San Diego and I wasn't able to snap a photo with her, but it was wonderful to see them.
The last part that made this week a little more trying was the fact that we keep being told that we're going to close on our house and then more time goes by and nothing happens. We're waiting for the bank to write the documents and then we'll be done. It's "suppose" to happen tomorrow but we'll see just how moronic these people can be. I'll keep you posted!
