Grant and Kate had an amazing weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Niedzinski's house! Jim took the kids there on Friday and they stayed until Monday (with a Saturday stay over at cousin Ethan and Sami's house). They played with the goats and chickens and kittens. They swam in the pond, climbed trees and did somersaults down the big hill. Best of all they got to play with 13 of their 20 Niedzinski-side cousins! It is so good for them to enjoy country living (30 acres!) and escape from their condo in the city. They loved snuggling with their Grandparents as all the adults sat around at night and talked. Hard to believe they actually sat still. Jim said he's not sure if it was because they were so tired or because they were allowed to snack on the bottomless bowl of chips while the adults caught up. Thankfully, I was able to join them for the day on Sunday and have been able to get lots of rest in a quiet house. I sure do miss them though!

The Patient
This morning we were playing beauty parlor and Grant announced that he wanted to be a barber when he grew up. I asked the kids if they knew what I was before I was a mom. Grant replied, "I know! A patient!"
Epstein Barr continues to plague our summer but it has not taken our joy. I am in bed as much as possible...18 hours a day or so.. and when I'm awake I have horrible muscle/joint aches, headaches, nausea, and rapid heart beat. It is pretty miserable. The doctor continues to remind me that this is a "normal" response to the antiviral medication and a good sign! It is supposed to last 2-6 weeks. I am on week 5 of the meds. Please pray that it ends soon. Can't wait to get back to normal life!

Fun with Peggy
Do you all remember Peggy? God brought her to us when I was on bed rest with Kate. She hung out with Grant and became a very special part of our family. She recently had the kids over night and took them to the park, Chuckie Cheese, Detroit Kid City and did plenty more things I don't even know about. Grant told her that he was allowed to sleep in her bed, which I anticipated so I left a typed up note saying he could not. The kids had so much fun and the next day Kate cried for several hours that she wanted Peggy back. They certainly felt loved!
