- One morning I had to wake him up for school (that's the worst... I'd love to encourage him to sleep in!!). I didn't know if he would wake up groggy, in a good mood, etc. He took a few seconds to compose himself, and then his mind was on full throttle: "Mommy, how was your nap? How was Jackson's nap? Mommy, the stuff fell out of my eye while I was sleeping! (he said he had something in his eye the night before, I told him it would probably go away if he kept his eyes closed for a bit). Mommy, did you remember to close the door?" (The door to the backyard was open when I put him to bed). Man, he was on it!!
- One day he was complaining about a stomach ache, and I asked him if maybe he just had to go potty. Later that night: "I had a poo. My tummy ache is all gone, the poop took it"
Jackson
- This week Jackson was sick with a fever :(. He had to stay home from school on Wednesday, and then I made a doctors appointment for him on Thursday, the 3rd day of his fever. Of course, by the time we got to the doctor, he was happy and fever-free, but it was still good to go in for a check. He did have a red sore in the back of his throat, so the doctor confirmed that he was at the end of a viral infection.
We also got a new weight: 15 lb 12 oz (3 oz increase in the past 3 wks). He sure looks chunky to me, but I guess he's slowing down!
Monday morning drive to Bellingham.
Taking in the sights!
Picking up Mason from school... who needs a double stroller?
(This face is "Mason... look at the camera!... with your eyes!!)
Rosy fever cheeks
Doesn't he look angelic? And well rested??
Mmmhmm... he slept in my bed from 3:30 am on, so that "we" could get some sleep
Not looking very sick at the Doctor's office
Woah, woah, woah!!

This was the second week Jim was out of town. This is often what my days looked like... trying to work from home, juggling baby and getting bits of work done here and there.
Meanwhile... Jim was "working" in Key West ;)
We got to go to the squadron to watch Jim's plane fly in
"Hi Daddy!!!"
Waiting for them to unload the plane
The next day we went to ride Thomas the Train near Seattle!
Getting a tattoo
Plenty of stations to play with trains
Ready for our train ride!
We had great seats right at the window, on the side of the train with all the views
Mason enjoyed taking in those views (or maybe just feeling like a Danger Ranger!)
Jackson's views were a little obstructed
Mason the Junior Engineer!
Jim was telling me about his Finance class, and how Krispy Kreme is the company that his group was evaluating... I pretty much told him he had to stop talking, because he was just making me really, really, REALLY want a Krispy Kreme donut!
We were near Seattle at the time... but I didn't know that Krispy Kreme was out here in the PNW.
"Market Research" as Jim says
Even though this little buddy had a rough weekend, it ended with a smiley little guy!
I need to go on your Thomas ride. From Grapevine you go backwards towards the airport through a trailer park kinda neighborhood. No views at all, not from any side of the train.
