What a weekend!

Ugh.  We had a rough start to the weekend when I woke up Friday morning w/ a stomach virus & was in bed the rest of the day.  Thankfully I woke up Saturday morning feeling 100% better... a little weak & a little achy from a full day in bed, but much better.  

With Collin's birthday party planned for Sunday afternoon, I still had to go shopping for his presents & stuff for his party, so along w/ my sisters, headed to the dreaded Wal Mart to stock up.  Made it through that adventure... thank goodness Dan took Lydie with him to pick up his brother Al from Ragbrai & Evan had stayed overnight at Aunt Kim's.  Collin had been having a mini vaca w/ Aunt Kathy since Thursday & he wasn't due home until Sunday afternoon.  A short stop at home to rest & then Dan & I had to work at ball tournaments in Houghton for a few hours.  

Another rude awakening Sunday morning about 3 am w/ Evan getting sick & spent the rest of the morning tending to him.  When he woke up about 6:30, he was feeling better, but body aches & headaches kept him down a little.

We had to decide, then If we were going to continue with Collin's party.  Luckily, we had already planned to have the party at Aunt Kim's, so we decided to just go ahead & see what happened.  Dan stayed home w/ Evan since he was sick.  Evan was crushed he couldn't go to the party & was so sad that he wouldn't be able to see Collin sooner {yes, really.  he was in tears & had to call Collin on the phone & tell him how much he missed him.  I'm pretty sure there were at least 3 people in tears on that one!}.  

When Collin finally got to Kim's, I was greeted with big hugs & kisses {don't tell his friends}.  Loved seeing him again, I missed him sooo much {until a little sleep deprived attitude started in}.  Although we were missing some family at the party, it was a great time together.
