Busy Weekend....

We had another busy weekend around here! My dad was admitted to St. Vincent's Hospital in Toledo early Friday morning, and there were a couple of trips back and forth before he was released on Sunday. On Saturday, Rob and I took Joel to the zoo in Toledo for a couple of hours before going to the hospital. It was fun! Joel was in a pretty good mood and was jabbering and pointing at everything. We saw the polar bears, the seals, the goats in the petting zoo, and some other critters. Joel especially liked the aquarium, and let out a giant squeal when he saw the giant shark hanging in the lobby! We really wanted to have him ride the train, but the train was shut down when we got there. We will definitely have to do that next time! We are members, so we can go as often as we want to. Joel had a great time, so we will be back! After the zoo we visited PawPaw at St. V's and then went to dinner with Grandma and took her home to Wauseon. On Sunday late afternoon we had a picnic in Wauseon to celebrate my birthday, Grandma's birthday, and Mother's Day, since we will be at Joel's NICU reunion next weekend. With all of this going on we also are still dealing with sleeping issues now that Joel is sleeping on a mattress on the floor in his room. He is doing okay with that, but he's not quite back to his normal routine. We'll keep working on that! More later...
