Sad Sad Birthday

On Monday, Andrew threw up on the bus on the way home from school.  We were sure it was food poisoning.  He had no fever, but the next day he stayed home from school just to be safe.  That evening (Tuesday), James threw up on me.  He also had no fever, but he wouldn't eat, and he slept a lot.  The next day (Wednesday) he seemed fine.  Then Thursday morning, Gabe threw up all over his bed.  I cleaned it up, then got sick myself.  We were sick all day.  Friday, everyone was better.  This was Frank's birthday!  Frank picked up his cousin Wendi who flew in for his party from California.  We had a huge 40th birthday party planned for Saturday night.  So that evening (Friday) we went out to dinner.  Taylor was going to spend the night with Taylor P.  She threw up at her house after Frank and I got home.  NiCole brought her home.  Then at 3 am, Frank got really sick.  Saturday was a sad sad day.  We canceled the party, and Frank was pretty sick all day.  Poor Wendi... came all the way from CA, and ended up hanging out with sick people all weekend.  Well, she got very sick that evening (Saturday), and couldn't go to church with us the next morning.  By Monday morning, everyone was well, and we got a sweet goodbye picture with James and Aunt Wendi.  It would be nice to take back that whole week and start over without the sick. 

Not a Fan

I really like the new Kings of Leon album, Only By the Night... which makes me really not like Kings of Leon.  I listened to some of their old stuff and hated it.  I thought they were terrible songs.  Frank told me the music on the new album were written by somebody else, which makes me like them even less.  Those poor die-hard fans who loved their old stuff... now they sound totally different.  If I were them, I'd probably hate the new album and be really disappointed.  So, I don't like Kings of Leon on behalf of their die-hard fans.  They sold out.  There.

I will do this.

I will do this.  Every time I take photos or work on some sort of art, I will blog.  I may not blog about what I did, but I will blog, and I will post photos. 

This is the last photo I took.  Our house is on the market.  At some point we will move to Richmond Hill.  The photo taken for the real estate website wasn't good enough, so I took one myself.  Actually I took about 15 because that's what I do.  Frank worked so hard on the yard to make it beautiful.  And isn't it?   Beautiful.  So why don't you buy it? : )
