Fun Visit to SW Minnesota

We had another enjoyable weekend, visiting Grandma and Grandpa F. I started a new Thanksgiving tradition, that the women of the family go to a movie on Friday night, and leave the men at home with the babies. This year, it was just Mom, Sarah, and me, but hopefully next year Wendy and Darci won't have to work. We saw Casino Royale- my very first Bond movie- and I enjoyed it (more than I thought I would for sure). A slept like a champ at Grandpa and Grandma's house, and has been back on track since we've been back home. Thank goodness, because Mike and I were walking zombies after all the night wake-ups. She also is doing a fabulous job with going on the potty. All it took was a bag of gummy Lifesavers candy. A small price to pay for no more changes out of wet pants/underpants/socks. B had his 9 month well-child visit on Monday. His ear infection had cleared up nicely, and he weighed in at a healthy 18 pounds, 12 3/4 ounces (30th%). B and Daddy both got their flu shots, so now the whole family is covered. Shug is now eating a mixture of his special diet dog food, and his regular dry food, and got his sutures removed on Monday. He is back to normal as far as activity goes too- he's been playing in the yard with balls again, and took a nice walk along a creekbed with Mike and Grandpa this past weekend. I made Mike give me a No Burr guarantee before they set out, however.
