Happy Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children

Today is Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children which falls on the fourth Monday of September. I bet you didn't know that. Neither did I but I just learned of it this morning as I was reading my paper (smart phone) in the morning. The sad reality is the fact that this "special day" even exist. Apparently parents don't eat dinner with their kids enough, which led to the creation of this day. Everyday should be Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children!

Bye baby Ty. Hello toddler Ty.

A good weekend

I didn't do anything special or extravagant this past weekend but it was a good one. At this point in my life, if I can get multiple things crossed off of my long list of to-do's, then that's considered a good weekend. But if we have time to clean the house AND go out... that's the ultimate.

Labor(ious) Day weekend

This past holiday weekend was meant to be free of work, to just relax and do nothing, but unfortunately that did not happen. Thursday evening baby Ty spiked a fever. No big deal. Then all day Friday he was still feverish. I loaded him up with Tylenol and Advil and saw little relief. Saturday the fever still raged (102-104F) so it was time to see the doctor. His lungs were clear, no ear infection, throat swab was negative and he had no other symptoms. What could it be? By Sunday afternoon his temperature had finally come down and he was back to his joyful self so at least the weekend wasn't totally ruined.
