Yard Work

Here's a little video of Filson with his rake "assisting" John a couple days ago. You can tell he hasn't quite yet figured out what the rake is to be used for. The other is one of the shots John got of him in the house the other day & I laughed when I saw his expression.

It's been a long week at our place as John unfortunately came down with a nasty stomach bug on Sunday night & basically quarantined himself in our guest room until Wednesday afternoon, trying to keep Filson & I from catching it. Not that there is ever a good time to get sick, but this was especially disappointing to us as Thursday morning we were to take off to NYC for our first childless getaway. The good news is we can reschedule our trip and, thankfully, John is finally today feeling back to his normal self & it appears that the rest of the fam has been spared from the bug.

Today, the three of us were able to get out & spend a great day together. We first hit the Cape Fear Wildlife Expo where Filson saw all kinds of neat things including snakes & fish & some very fancy ATVs that he was especially impressed with! We then went out for lunch & took a drive down to the beach. The little guy fell asleep on the way home & now, 2.5 hrs later, is still sleeping. We must have worn him out well!

I think Filson might need to work on his raking techniques!!! Hated to hear about John getting sick and not being able to go to NY. But glad he's back on the mend and you can reschedule it.
