Nate is home and doing well. We were all happy to see him. But then, Shane left for California for work and we are down one boy again.

We spent Sunday playing games and snuggling.















Ben and Nate got along really good for the first two days back together. By Sunday, it was back to the usual.

Ben woke up Monday with a sore throat, bad cough and wheezing. I am mean you could hear that boy breath from across the room (he doesn't have asthma so this was not normal). Verdict -- double ear infection. With the possible bonus of a plugged tube in his ear. After getting his medicine, we stopped at the sitter's to get Nate. I got to hold the new baby. She was adorable. She was awake and just made the cutest baby faces. She never did fuss and I held her for about 20 minutes while the sitter and I discussed pre-school (both Nate and her oldest will be eligible next fall).

More tomorrow, just realized I have a deadline!
