who DOES that?

One might think that for someone who loves taking pictures would not forget their camera, but alas...

We had a busy weekend, that began mid-week.

At the end of last week, we bought Jackson a hamster. It lasted about 6 days. Without the gory detail, I will tell you that the hamster vs. cat sceanrio always loses. We made up a white lie about it, since he was still dealing with the loss of a caterpillar, and moved on.

Jack's grandma met me half way and took Jack on Wednesday. She spolied him ROTTEN! They made trips to the zoo, the pool, the lake, and out for donuts :) The day he left, Claire spiked a fever, was super whiny and irritable. The fever would NOT go down, even with mdes, so on Friday she went to the peditrician. The pedi said if it hadn't gone down by Saturday morning to bring her back. On Saturday morning, back we were. Little Claire got a catheter and a huge antibiotic shot in her leg. Right before our appointment at Children's, she perked right back up.

Once at Children's, she got a blood test to test for anything out of the ordinary. Once she was feeling better, Marc and I decided to join our son at the lake. So we drove up to Michigan, and Claire slept the whole way...about 4.5 hours! It was HOT. We are looking forward to the renovation this fall, which will bring 3 bathrooms...and lots of showers!

Jack was having the BEST time...catching fish, catching bugs, riding on the pontoon, and playing with the family friend's dog. (Our pets stayed home this trip!) He is a great fisherman, and spent the whole time in his swimsuit.

I wish I had brought my camera...who does that? Who forgets their camera on a weekend chock-full of excitement?
