Here is an update from the last couple of weeks...
The Tuesday before Labor Day weekend Carley comes home from daycare sick (again)!!! Jarrod ended up staying home with her on Wednesday as we thought she felt better only to realize we were wrong about the time we were going to walk out the door that morning. She wasn't getting any better so we figured we would take her to the doctor to see what is going on. She ended up with a 24 hour stomach bug but with her being so much younger the doctor told us that it would take up to a week.
Friday was Jarrod's birthday and the wonderful day that we were able to head to the ranch for an extended weekend. Some other family came in for the weekend so we had a good time. We had a rough weekend as Carley decided she didn't want to miss anything by sleeping so we struggled during nap times and going to bed each night but we ended up winning in the long run. She was able to go riding around with us while we were there, and throughout the weekend we were able to see cows, horses, and even some deer. Wonderful weekend!!!
This past weekend I was able to go on a retreat with my Mom. Thoroughly enjoyed that. I always enjoy being able to get out and go on long walks in the woods with new scenary. Jarrod stayed home and kept Carley and seemed to have fun besides the fact that he was sick Friday night and she was sick all day Saturday. They both had the same thing so I was just glad to see they were over it by the time I got home. Let's just pray she stays well this weekend.
Last night we decided that we all felt well enough to run over to the Permian Basin fair for a couple of hours last night. Lots of fun! We walked around and showed Carley the FFA critters, although she couldn't take her eyes off of a bungee slinger contraption, not sure I have a picture, but it looks like a sling shot and tosses you around like a I don't know what. Jarrod took her through the petting zoo and she seemed to enjoy that as well (yes, we washed her hands good afterwards).
I will try to post pictures as soon as I can that will go with all of these stories but I haven't had a chance to download anything yet.
Hope everyone has a good week and upcoming weekend!!!
