Way Behind

by Holly

Okay, so we have been slacking. Yes Trey, we did miss posting on J's birthday. It was July 6th and he did not have the most festive of birthdays. It started out well enough as we went for lunch at La Hacienda Ranch for the best TexMex around, and he ordered a steak with fried potatoes and a salad. We then went to IKEA to look around and had to leave unexpectedly as J wasn't feeling well. This began a 5-day-long stomach virus for him. He tried to work Tuesday and Thursday and I think he ended up working a total of 6 hours this week. What a fabulous birthday! :( Top that off with the worst mouth ulcer I have ever seen and even though his tummy is better, he's now unable to eat anything but thin soups and milkshakes.

I have been home all week too, but for a much happier reason. I am finally going to be able to work from home and this week was a pilot to make sure all of our programs were working for the official Work From Home date of August 4th. So far, so good. Justin was well enough to talk me through some computer issues, and I was here to take care of him while he was sick.

Great week for Eli to be at his grandparents' too! It allowed us to get through an unusual week and gave them some time to bond. He's been there since Monday morning, and I miss that little monkey so much! We're headed to pick him up as soon as Pops and Grandma (Noble) call and let us know he's awake from his nap.

Well, perhaps the madness will die down and we can post again soon. Its a shame it took that to get Miss Erin R to leave a comment! We miss you guys too!
