Patrick had to sign some papers in MD so we took the kids to the Ren. Fest. last weekend. Pops actually babysat the big kids and Patrick, Abby and I stayed in a motel on Sat. night. It was a nice weekend. Beautiful weather and everyone behaved well. Pops got a brand new treadmill so I got my workout in both days. The only bad things, was that Abby, Patrick and AP had been battling colds/sinus infections... and Abby woke up on Sunday and could hardly move her neck... she said it hurt and for the next few days she was very stiff. I was afraid it was Meningitis, but she'd had no fever/vomiting. Her doctor thinks that area was inflamed due to a virus and had us give her ibuprofen and treat her w/ a warm compress... she is back to normal now, TG!
Margaret got picked (surprise, surprise) to help out Bibly (the skinny German juggler) and got to ride on his shoulders while he uni cycled! The girls rented period costumes and all three kids really got into it. My camera battery conked out before all of this... Murphy's Law... I bought a disposable cam. that cost a fortune, but it will be a while before I use it all up and get it developed. We refinanced this weekend and Abby told the closer that we needed to get more money because we spent it all on the elephant ride!
