We have been sick, sick, sick but finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we are getting back on the mend.
This past weekend we had to make up for lost time (and I was a little stir crazy) and fully enjoyed our weekend. Ethan got a much needed haircut and for the first time EVER he allowed the stylist to put in some wash out color. He was so happy to show this off and felt like such a rock star. Ethan has also been going to soccer every Saturday as well at Arena Sports in Redmond and is loving it. He even scored a goal during their scrimmage. Go Ethan!
On Sunday we took Ethan bowling for the first time and he had a blast, at least for the first game. He got to use the rail and he even beat us the first time out. We definitely need more of these weekends in the future!
The past few months have been tough for sick germs in our house. All of us have been sick at least twice and this past weekend Ethan came down with a fever so hopefully this is the end of it. I had read in the news that they were saying this was the worst cold and flu season and I have to agree. I would hate to think how this sick season would have been if we had not all got our flu shots. Eek!
I do have to say that the one good thing about having pets is when you are sick. They are your immediate cuddle buddy when you are feeling down and plain yucky.
The holidays have come and gone and we luckily had a wonderful time enjoying the time off. Both Jeff and I had the week off of work and Ethan had the week off of school. I had a lot of plans in my head going into the break but unfortunately came down ill on Christmas eve and Christmas day so those plans fell out the window. However, we still ended up having a great time just enjoying the time off together and did do a few fun things as well including attending two Seahawks games (they won both, yeah!) and going and hanging with Ethan's cousin's at Elevated Sports in Bothell.
Jeff also got a new ping pong table for Christmas and we are in the process of training Ethan to be a national ping pong competitor. Well, not really but he does have a mean serve.
Even though the holidays did not go as initially planned it was such a great holiday and everyone is more relaxed going into 2013.
