The week has flown by and I had a hard time that beliving that it was already Sunday evening! Our weekend has kind of been a rollercoaster! Monday started off with me being sick...migraines are TERRIBLE! I never get headaches and have had one off and on x 2 wks. Ended up going to see a doctor because the pain was ridiculous! and they ended up telling me it was a tension migraine gave me meds and sent me on my way! I RARELY get headaches but still can't seem to shake this one! With extra fluids, ibuprofen, and muscle relaxers I feel like I can function now! Monday was rough to say the least!!! So came Wednesday Merrick came down with a fever that lasted through Thursday night and now has diarrhea still (sorry for if to much info) He seems to be feeling better now though!!! So with all of that being said we did end up finishing Merrick's first round of swim lessons. He did great!!! Jumping, kicking, blowing bubbles, listening for fish (sticking both ears in the water) AND jumped off the side and dunked his head under the water!!!! He's a little fish out there! Daddy got rained out at work and got to come watch the last lesson. Merrick spotted Lincoln and continued to yell "HI DADDY!" and would wave. It was pretty cute!
Our the lot behind our backyard is being turned into a dentist office so there is a lot of dirt work going on lately. Merrick and I have spent many hours watching the "diggers" moving dirt and have been eatin lunch on the picnic table in order to watch the diggers! He's a little outdoors boy!
Thursday Lincoln and I had tickets to see Phil Vassar and Lady Antebellum at the Jones County Fair with some friends. It was a GREAT concert!!!! Good thing our concert was on Thursday cause the storms Friday canceled that concert and caused MAJOR flooding in Dyserville and Monticello canceling the rest of the fair!



Friday we spent as a family catching up on some much needed time together! Enjoy the video I got of Merrick and Lincoln hanging out!










Saturday night another one of Lincoln's roommates from College got married. We decided to have my mom stay with Merrick (THANKS MOM!) so we could have a date night--2 in one week! ;) It was a good time with friends and great to catch up the two of us! Merrick's potty progress has been coming right along. We are on potty chart #2! For every 25 stickers he gets to go to the store and pick out a "prize" but after every successful trip to the potty he gets 3 jelly beans! Yes even if it is before breakfast!!! So far he's gotten 3 books (this is what he picks out when we go to the store!--he LOVES to read!), a sand toy, and a happy meal!!! There have been many days where his diaper is dry all day while awake! Oh my lil boy is growing so fast! (TEAR!) I didnt take a picture of the potty chart #2 after one week but he's filling those spaces right up w/ stickers! ;)To end this post I just would like to take time to ask for prayer requests for Lincoln's cousin Cadi and her family. Cadi, Her husband Scott and 4 mo old son Gabe's house was hit by the tornado that went through Indianola. The damage is defistating but we are very thankful they are all safe. Here is the link to their story if you'd like to see pictures! Keep them in your prayers as they have a long road ahead of them but most importantly thanking God for their safety!
