Sick sick sick

So I have been sick for over 2 weeks now and when I went to the doctor he said I was on the edge with walking pneumonia. That is the main reason that I have been neglectful this week. I was out of work last week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I am turning the corner now after some very powerful antibiotics. Of course that has its downside too. LOL

Anne is going back to work on Thursday and Friday and Then we are off to Seattle Friday night. Little Drew will be having his first two days of day care, and his first plane ride all in the same week! We are looking forward to seeing friends and family while we are in Seattle.

On the down side my cousin is loosing her battle with cancer. Cathy decided to have a baptism for her son and made it out of bed for the ceremony in the hospital. My parents were down to see her in Southern, NJ this Friday and Saturday. Our prayers are with her and her family.
