It has been a busy time at our house. Last weekend, I went to New Smyrna Beach, Florida with two of my good friends while Andy stayed home with the kids. It was a short trip, but a GREAT time! We stayed at my friend's parent's condo and we may have invited ourselves back next year! For those of you who know me well, you will be shocked to hear that I tried mahi mahi and alligator! I was very adventurous! They both tasted a little like chicken to me. I also tried (and loved) cinnamon whiskey. I told Andy we need to buy some of that!
Don't feel too bad for Andy watching the kids while I had fun in Florida. I got back on Sunday night and he left for Phoenix on Wednesday for a boys trip with two of his brothers. He doesn't come home until tomorrow afternoon. They love baseball and have a lot of fun going to all of the spring training games. They are staying with my dad while my mom decided to fly here to see the kids.
And I am so thankful she decided to come visit! Drew got the flu on Friday and has been in need of a lot of attention all weekend. Poor little guy is still as sick as he was on Friday. No kid likes to be sick, but some handle it better than others. Drew is not one who handles it well. (Mom and I might have joked that it is because he is male!) He demands a lot of care when he is sick so we have been pretty busy. I am not sure how I would have done it with a 9 month old and him! Kayley is pretty independent and she has been fine, but Ryan is a different story. He is into EVERYTHING so we have to watch him pretty closely.
Speaking of Ryan, he had his 9 month pictures yesterday. He started out with his serious face when we got there, but decided playing peek-a-boo with me was pretty funny and started smiling. Here of some of his good ones and some of the ones that were funny.
