Rainy Days

There's something about a good, hard rain that makes me feel peaceful. Add in some thunder and lightning like we had last night, and I think I'm as close to heaven as I can be on earth. I LOVE thunderstorms and rain showers, and since last night, we've had plenty of both.

We're on the mend in our house. E's weekend was rough, but he's much better now. After a rough Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, he slept so soundly both Sunday night and last night. His breathing is much better, and his nose runs less during the day. Whew! I think that by the time we head up north on Thursday night, he'll be alright. The big challenge then will be keeping him awake in the truck until bedtime. I've got the roll of backseat entertainer, so hopefully I can keep him from sleeping too much and totally destroying his bedtime routine. By the way, I'm not sure how medically sound the Vicks on the feet theory is, but it sure felt nice and cozy in my socks!

We're looking forward to seeing family this weekend, and I KNOW they are looking forward to seeing E. We finally took the camera out the other night. Here are the results of a six-month snapshot shoot:


There are actually many more photos (I love my digital camera), but these are some of the best ones. E also got his "official" six-month photos taken a couple of weeks ago at JC Penney in St. Cloud. They are super cute, and it was actually really affordable. We'll head up there again I'm sure! Before we know it, we'll be taking his one year pictures. YIKES!

Anyway, I should stop putting off some work... grr.
