Well would you look at that: it's Monday already. That means back to school for us and back to work for Carl. Makena is home from college for one more week and actually had the day off today.
It was a good weekend for the most part. On Friday I went to take Wrenley to the doctor with Carlie. She had a pretty high fever and a little bit of a cough. She wasn't able to see her regular doctor, but they did some test to rule out RSV, the flu, and Co*!d. Carlie took off the rest of the day to stay home and keep a close eye on her. They ended up taking her to Arkansas Children's Hospital after Caleb got off work. She had a pretty nasty virus and her oxygen was low when they got there but went up after they were there for around 3 hours. We were thankful that she got to come home late Friday night.
Poor sick baby.
Carl made chili Friday night and we had a bonfire. It was perfect weather for it but I was tired of the wind changing direction and smelling smoke, so I went to the hot tub and enjoyed it alone for a while. It was just what I needed. I was worried about Wren the whole time, but I knew they were in the best place and that there was absolutely nothing I could do other than pray.
Boone was watching Carl talking with his hands :)
Boone enjoys bonfires as much or more than we do!
You can barely see the fire in the background.
We have been having bonfires back there for many years with our kids.
Saturday was a pretty busy day. Makena's roommate from college was getting married in Hot Springs which is a good 2 hours away. We left a little early so we could swing by Carlie's and see Wrenley. It was a beautiful wedding. I always cry at weddings. I mean, I barely knew Jolie, but I still cried. I'm getting sappier in my old age!
It was good to just have a few hours alone with Makena.
Sunday is always church day. We had a wonderful service even though a lot of people were out sick. My mom fixed mexican food for us at her house after church. I am so thankful that she does this. My grandmother (Grammy) always fixed lunch on Sundays when we were younger, and it is something that I still cherish. I am glad that my kids and grandkids will have that with their grandparents/great-grandparents.
I am so thankful for a great weekend!
Happy Monday... let's do this!
Much Love,
Beth
