Wow, the last two weeks kind of got away from me. Last weekend was Alex's 14th birthday as well as Chris' and my 23 wedding aniversary! Add to that Nik being diagnosed with Walking Pnumonia and it's clear I haven't had much free time!
First and formost, Nik is doing much better. He's probably lost 10 pounds, but he is just now getting his appitite back and he has that old sparkle in his eye's again. All that really remains now is a rough hacking cough. He will be able to return to school on Monday.
I can't believe Alex is 14! Man, time is going much too quickly. Seems like just the other day he was Al Ouncer jr, only drinking an ounce of formula at a time. Alex had a really nice birthday weekend that included a sleepover with 6 of his friends. In typical boy sleepover tradition, they stayed up til 3:00am. They didn't keep Chris and I up, so it was not a problem except for how tired they all where in the morning! We got Alex a TiVo for his room, the best gift ever according to him. He is now set to record all the Jacksonville Jaguars football games this season so he won't miss a minute of the action! He is really pasionate about NFL football. It's fun to see him develope his own interested.
Chris and I had a nice quite anniversay last Sunday. With Alex and Catie sleeping over at our friends the porters for two nights and Nik still pretty sick, we didn't go anywhere. It was nice to just relax just the two of us. We did sneek out for a nice dinner at a nearby Asian resturant. We sure do miss the days when Mom was alive and she and Dad would visit, allowing Chris and I do sneak away for a weekend adventure just the two of us. Just one of many changes in our lives since we lost Mom. I really miss her, and can't wait to see her in heaven.
