Welcome, Spring...

Boy, it was warm today! We had to break out the shorts! I discovered today that Joel only owns two pairs of shorts, and one pair is too big (although it is sized 18 months...go figure!). We'll need to work on that! Rob has had a nasty cold for a few days now and unfortunately Joel seems to have picked up some of his germs. Yesterday we met Grandma, PawPaw, and Aunt Lisa for lunch and then they came over to set up a playset they bought for Joel. It took quite a bit longer than expected, and Joel went down for his nap before they were done, so he didn't get to play on it then. He was sneezy and stuffy when he went down for his nap, and when he woke up he was miserable. He was puffy, coughing, and had a horrible runny nose. We gave him some medicine and he was better when he woke up this morning. Rob and Joel stayed home from church, but I went because it was our week to man the nursery. No one showed up! We relaxed and Joel slept this afternoon. He was really uncomfortable and grumpy before his nap and barely ate lunch, but was MUCH better after his nap. We were able to go out and enjoy the sunshine for a while. We even took a walk with his wagon. He rides much better in that than he does the stroller any more. It's funny....a little girl from church who is about 7 or 8 lives on our walking route and has spotted us the last few times we were out. You can hear her yell, "Hey Mom, it's JOEL!" and then she stands in her yard calling to him and waving at him. He, of course, ignores her! Rob keeps telling him he needs to be nice to the ladies, but he's playing hard-to-get I guess! More later...
