Sorry...

...for the lack of posts this week.  It seems like we have been pretty busy around here with just daily life!  So, here's a recap of the week in the Collier house.

Monday: Memorial Day
Jared was off (yay) but we didn't relax.  Instead we, mostly he, built this!

 

And don't believe the box, this is not a 'nap time' project.  It takes a bit longer than that.  We pretty much spent all day on it.  But we did drive to pick it up, got stuff for the foundation and dug out/built the foundation before we started on the 'in as little as 90 min' building project.

While shed building was going full force in the backyard.  Ethan was busy guarding his lawn mowers from Braden.  Not a beautiful sharer today!

Tuesday:  Work for myself.  Jared worked most of the day and then headed to Indiana for a conference.
Since Monday morning, Ethan had been up and down with a fever, but never acting sick.  I picked him from the sitters early on Tuesday and we've been pumping tylenol into him since.  No pictures Tuesday, sorry.

Wednesday:  Jared still gone.  Ethan's 2 year well child visit.

Here is Ethan when we got up....

Pretty pitiful

After about an hour, he was fine again, fever free and we headed to the doctor.  Other than the ear infection and up/down fever (we have meds now) he's a healthy 2 year old.  He weighs 26 lbs and is 2'9" tall.  Oh and has a whopping 97th percentile head size...he is a pretty smart kid.
Wednesday night we went to Zach's (Braden's older brother) baseball game and you would never know Ethan was supposed to be sick...or something.

Hanging out on the big boy swings

Thursday: Work again for me and Jared is coming home! 
Ethan again woke up with a pretty high fever, but by the time I was ready for work he was fine and back down to normal.  Took him to Arika's (she knew everything, by the way) with Tylenol/Motrin and instructions.  She said he was fine all morning and then after nap...high fever again.  Jared was almost back in town, thank goodness, so he went and got him and by the time they got home, no fever and just a little boy wanting to play outside.  So they did!  (These pics are from Sunday, but you get the idea)

Look at that form!!

Trying out the new bike!

Friday: OB appointment for me and unexpected Dr. visit for Ethan
I am 19 weeks along today!  Almost halfway.  I will post a picture next week (hopefully).  Ethan came along today and loves seeing the fish in the aquarium at the office.  Baby is healthy with a strong heartbeat and moving a lot!  I will have an untrasound at my next visit.
After we got home from my appointment, I noticed Ethan had a nice rash that had just appeared.  I decided to have him checked out, since we have a quite full weekend.  Nothing big, just part of his virus showing up as a rash.  Oh and he has been fever free today since about 30 minutes after he woke up! 

So...3 doctor visits, Jared gone for 2 days and work somewhere in between makes for a busy week!  Check back for posts from this weekend.  Cardinal game tonight, Abby's wedding shower tomorrow and Squibb family reunion Sunday.  I'm sure we'll breathe again sometime!
