4th of July Weekend

We went to Ithaca for the 4th of July weekend. Olive was in a horrible mood and the car ride up there was less than pleasant. I figured she was just teething, so we kept her pumped with Tylenol and it kept her fever down. Once we got back to Baltimore, she went back to Daycare wednesday and Kristen pointed out to me that she thought she might have an ear infection; Yep. I completely missed any symptoms, I just thought she was teething and cranky. So, now she's been to Patient First and gotten antibiotics and seems to be feeling much better. Marc, however, came down with something awful on Friday; he said he knew he was running a fever when he went to get into his black car that had been sitting in the sun all day and he said it felt good inside because he'd been so cold all day. He had a 103 fever and barely made it out of the house all weekend. So, now I am starting to suspect that that may have in fact been what Bean had, in addition to the ear infection. Let me tell you, it was a rough couple of nights. It made me think, "Oh, so this is how people end up getting divorced."

(Relax, everything is fine. No divorce court proceedings here unless I:
a. Bring home a random stray dog
b. Leave the mop bucket on the landing at the top of the basement stairs
c. Decide that that 200 year old farmhouse fixer-upper is just too good to pass up. )

So, everyone seems to be doing better. It was nice to see the family in Ithaca too; We made the (Great) Grandmother Circuit on sunday and saw everyone. My HIgh School 15 year reunion was also that weekend. Very, very weird. Everyone has babies around the same age. Creepy. There are actually some people I knew from high school whom I found out live right down the street with their two year old. Smaltimore.

Anyway, that's what we're up to. Hopefully everyone will stay healthy for awhile. Ciao!
