Sick House

School has started, Fall is here and the colds have settled in. Zak did wonderful at school last week. He has the same teacher and room as last year so that does help with the transition. He will have two new therapists though. I am anxious to meet them and see what new ideas they have for us to work on.

The weather has been cooler, although it is nice when working outside. However the mix of school and weather brings germs. Callie has a double ear infection and a small cold. She seems to deal with it fairly well. Zak got a full blown nasty cold Friday night. Temp of 101.3-101.8 all weekend. Just miserable. Snot brings loose stools so it was a mess at our house this weekend. Poor kids. Of course our kids are so loving and want to share everything with everyone. Some of our nurses also have colds along with Mom and Dad. First go around of the season, welcome back hand sanitizer.

Chris and his Dad (well a tiny tiny bit of me too) finished the landscaping, for the most part, in the back yard at our Old house. We had a new septic system put in which means we needed to fix the yard. If there is one thing I have learned about being a home owner it is one project leads to 10 more and you never get done what you tried to start :) I will post pics soon. They did a wonderful job. Chris built a new retaining wall/steps as the old one was rotten and needed to be fixed. The edging, rocks and plants were all replaced in that area. The dirt was spread and seed was planted. There is a small area of dirt still so we can get the trailer in the back yard and move our big stuff before we seed.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor day.
