Rough week around here

At Grandma's funeral, John Paul was pretty irritable and didn't look like his usual smiley, happy self. He went downhill from there, and today spiked a 102.6 fever. I spent the day holding a whiny, cuddly, runny-nosed baby. (It wasn't all THAT bad :) Also our floors aren't done. I would have gone to my mom's house today but since the Bud was sick, we were stuck in one room. I did call the doctor, and the nurse told us to come in tomorrow if he still has a high fever. I'm praying no one else gets it. I think he got it from Ken, who had a "man cold" while we were gone to Florida (thank goodness we missed THAT one! :)

The floors look fantastic, even though they're not quite done yet. I cannot wait for it to be all done and to put everything back to normal.

John Paul is 10 months old now, and I haven't done his post yet. He turned 10 months on the day of Grandma's funeral. I sure have a lot of stuff to blog about.

We decided to give up meat for Lent. I got a few new vegetarian cookbooks and I've been trying out some recipes. I have to say, with all the delicious food I've been making, it might not be that much of a sacrifice! I might have to come up with something else in addition to the no meat. If anyone is worried (MOM), don't worry. I'm making sure everyone gets plenty of protein and all the necessary nutrients.

Way to go Ken, keep your germs to yourself!!! :-)

It was so great to see you guys, I wish we could have spent more time together.

You will need to post some pictures of your new floors when they are done.

Vegetarians who eat right probably get more protein and complex carbs than their meat-eating counterparts.

Between the beans, nuts, complex grains, Greek yogurt, etc. - I'd say we're all set...

hahaha That is the same thing that happens when you tell ppl you are on a juice fast.! They freak out you aren't getting the right amount of nutrients.... hahaha That's what fat is for to store all the nutrients you need in the event of a famine. In my case, it's a self induced famine....

Poor JP. You have been awfully quiet this week I was wondering what was up...
