. . . we are just now feeling like things are normal again. When we left for Utah Sam was just getting over a cold, then while we were there he caught another cold and right after getting over that one he caught his third in a row! Ugh!! So this third cold is the one that is now finally tapering off. It was not just any cold, but one that started off with Pink Eye, combined with congestion, fever of 103, a sore throat (not eating, lost 3 lbs) and coughing at night. For 5 nights in a row he woke up with a coughing attack. Not a lot we could do for him, that we were not already doing. We had been to the doctors so many times that a few days ago when we stepped foot in the building Sam started crying. Poor guy. So, with feeling trapped in our house, a year supply of Kleenex well used, and Dan's bathroom looking like a hospital we are glad to see this cold come to an end. We have had 2 nights of non interrupted sleep and Sam has been able to play with friends again.
This Sunday we had some friends over for a play date/conference. This is Sam's friend Lexy, who could pass as his sister. They have lots of fun together!
Conference has ended and it's time to say goodbye!
Sam was not too sure about the actual pumpkin picking. He became very nervous as we had to step around all these huge orange balls growing from these crazy vines under his feet.
Once we had the pumpkin off the vine, Sam was excited that he had a new orange ball. We'll see how he reacts once we cut into his new favorite ball.
