Winter Weekends

(Please click on the photo to see more pictures.)

Jake had a pretty fun set of weekends bookending a brief fever. Two weekends ago, Jen, Jessi, and Melissa visited with Jack and Isabelle. The kids had a pretty good time playing with each other. Their naps seemed to go in phases so it was usually just two at a time.

Jake then got to spend three more days at home, one with each of us, and a final day with Grandpa. He never showed any symptoms of being sick besides his fever, and being a bit groggy. He got to go back to daycare on Thursday, and then got a visit there from Santa on Friday! Jake wasn't thrilled to sit on his lap, but he didn't scream, so I guess that's something.

This past Saturday, Meme brought Alison down to visit with Jake. Aside from just playing with him, they also helped to distract him while Michele and I shopped for some new living room furniture (our Christmas gift to each other - not quite an HDTV and PS3, but something cozy to sit on when we finally get those). Then, on Sunday, when we got the two snow blowing jobs worth of snow, it was fun to get Jake out and let him play around in the deep drifts. We then pulled him around on his sled while Jason pulled Elle on hers. Jake didn't like the snow blowing in his face, but he was more than willing to put up with it order to stay outside and continue to play.
