Brett took last Thursday and Friday off to do some things around the house. Our downstairs bathroom is finally completely finished. Brett put in the trim and quarter round and it really looks nice. He also put the quarter round down in the two bathrooms upstairs. It was the final touches since we laid the new flooring upstairs. Brett also did some yard work which I'm sure our neighbors were very happy to see. We finally bought a weed eater! I was starting to get embarrassed at all of the grass that was growing up around our trees and walkways! Brett took up the miniature spiral trees (name??) that were out front and planted them around our deck in the back. They really look nice back there. He then planted some Day Lillies and Bee Balm (??). We've never heard of the Bee Balm, but they looked nice so we thought we'd try them out. Hopefully they fill out nicely. Next, we have to pull out the stumps from the bushes that we cut down last fall, plant new bushes, and move the rock.
On Friday we went to dinner for our friend Ali Coppola's birthday. Her husband surprised (kind of) her with a night out and dinner with friends. It was really a lot of fun. After dinner we met up with Libby, David, Grandpa Denny, Grandma Kathy, and the Neumann's for a drink downtown. When we went to pickup Riley from Grandma and Grandpa Burch's she had started sounding pretty congested.
Saturday, Brett enjoyed a round of golf (his first in a very long time) while I stayed home with Riley. By Saturday morning she was really feeling miserable! No smiles, not eating, not playing. We called Dr. Fred and he suggested to keep offering her other things to drink, like Pedialite. Grandma Burch came over for a while and brought Riley some pedialite and cute dresses. Saturday night was Uncle John's graduation from Roosevelt. We tried to make it, but Riley just wasn't feeling up to it. :(
Sunday was a day of relaxation. Riley was feeling a bit better, but Brett was beginning to feel sick. We took a trip to Costco. Did you know that you can get the biggest cup of frozen yogurt for only a $1.35 at Costco? Yep, only $1.35 for 16 oz of frozen yogurt. It was delicious. Sunday night Riley experienced her second dinner at Ohana's and truly enjoyed it. She loved eating the zucchini, rice, and chicken. We said Good-Bye to Libby and David after dinner and were lounging around the house by 9pm.
Monday was another day of relaxation. Brett wasn't feeling well and Riley had a horrible cough. I was a bit bummed that we weren't able to enjoy the weekend outside, but it was nice to just be home with the family!
Here is something new that Riley began doing over the weekend:
Hey, whatcha doin Mom??
Lastly, here's my little lady. She's always sitting like this so I had to take a picture!
