Things are looking brighter

The sun is shining today, and temperatures are supposed to be getting a little friendlier over the next week. Reese seems to be feeling better too. He came down with a nasty sore throat on Monday, didn't eat for about twelve hours. I ended up taking him to the clinic Monday afternoon, because he wouldn't take milk, water, baby food, or fruit. He basically started to go dry on me, not wetting diapers. The pediatrician gave us a list of medicines to use to numb his throat so he would eat.
He was a pretty sad little guy, but he tried to be chipper. I got a picture of him playing on the floor. He was just so pooped out that he had to rest his head to watch "Little Bear".
He must be feeling a lot better now, he's in his walker chasing the dog around as I type. He just stopped by the office door to sing me his theme song before taking off again. He looks pretty dashing in his new striped shirt (see photos).
Ben has a casual day and "goody day" at work, so he was off to work this morning with the crock pot full of hot dogs. I am thankful for Sam's Club, where you can buy a case of the Oscar Mayer delights for a darn good price (buns were cheap too).
Maddie has picture day again today, but I don't know how excited she was about it. Yeah, it's not really all that much fun as far as I can remember.
Reese and I will be heading into Mankato today, we are getting out of the house for a while. Shopko is having a huge sale today and tomorrow, so we are going to go check it all out.
I think Ben is planning on helping is parents with some carpet for one of the apartments Saturday, and going with Jennifer to see Grandma on Sunday.
I better wrap this up if we are going to get to Mankato anytime today.
Take care everyone, we send you all our love.
