Awesome weekend

We really had an awesome weekend - but we deserved it! Last weekend (and all of last week) I didn't post anything because Duane was really sick. He started with a cold and it quickly turned into bronchitis and borderline pnuemonia. Last Monday Olivia had a check-up appointment (she's 20lbs and 27"!!!) so Duane tagged onto her appointment and saw our doctor. Our doctor prescribed him a Z-pack and an inhaler; he went home and took a nap and started the meds. When Liv and I got home that night around 6pm, Duane asked me to look at his tongue - it was swollen about 2xs the normal size and he said his throat felt really tight. SO, off we went to the ER! He was having an allergic reaction to the inhaler. He didn't look better after 2 hours of an IV so they made him stay overnight. Thankfully, when he was released the next morning, he was feeling much better. Talk about a crazy night!

This past Friday night, Olivia went to her first baseball game - the St. Paul Saints. They're a "wanna be" (minor league) team but their games can be fun. Unfortunately, it was so hot that night and there was no breeze so we left around the 2nd inning.

Yesterday we stayed at home and got some things done - i.e. went through Duane's clothes, grocery run, etc. The best part, though, is Duane and I had a date night! Our babysitter, Katie, came in the early evening and we went out for dinner and a movie. Olivia does really well with Katie so we love having her babysit for us!

Today was all about White Bear Lake! Olivia is seriously the best baby EVER! We headed out around 9:30am and left the lake at 3:30pm and she was perfect. She is content with sitting on the floor and playing with the toys we bring along. Around lunch time, we laid her down and with a little help from a running motor and a pacifier, she fell asleep. Once she woke up, she had some lunch (turkey and cheese sandwich!) and then it was time to "swim." She sat in her float and watched Duane and some fellow boaters throw a frisbee around. By the time we were trailer-ing the boat, she was asleep.

She's not crying - she got sunscreen in her eyes....

Duane lets her bite on the bottletop after putting the lime in his Corona

"I'm so cute!"

sleepy baby = mommy and daddy get to soak up the sun!

Tonight we had spaghetti and gave some to Liv for the first time. This is the first time she's had ground beef with her noodles - it was hilarious! She was promptly put into the tub after she finished her dinner. Oh, and as soon as she sees a camera, she's all smiles!
