Mother's Day

Well Mother's day was a pretty good day for me. Two days prior Josh had returned home from his three weeks in Texas. That was such a great day! His flight arrived at 9 pm so we spent the day with my mother and then went to pick up some balloons and meet him at the airport. We were very excited to say the least. As soon as I get to see some pictures from his trip I will post some I heard he saw some very interesting things. He got to go to a Houston Astros game and the Houston Space Center. A couple of museums and a bridge where bats fly off at sunset. It sounded like fun.
The day after he got home he took the girls and went out to get a few things for Mother's Day. Well I needed to get a few things from the grocery store so I went and got in the truck and left. Much to my dismay the instant I pulled out of the parking lot and onto the street the truck died! And would not start. I ended up having to call Josh home and he and a neighbor had to push it back up to our house. The last thing we needed was to have more work to do on that truck. Well it turned out that the fuel pump needed to be replaced! So we called to have the part ordered and Josh would just do it himself. Luckily it's so old that it was before they started putting them in the fuel tank so it did not cost us an arm and a leg.
On Mother's day we spent the morning together and then after church we went to visit Josh's mom and then his brother's wife had their baby the day before so we stopped in at the hospital to see them. And since the girls love babies they were pretty excited to go and see their new cousin. After the hospital we went to visit my mom for a little while and when it got late we left to go home.
The week that followed was pretty good. Not too eventful. Then on Saturday Abi got a fever. We had no idea where it came from. She said her throat hurt but had no other symptoms so we thought we would ride it out. Well it lasted through Sunday as well and then on Monday we had promised Josh's mom that we would help her move. So we drove up to Ogden and during the process of moving stuff Josh's aunt stated that it sounded a bit like Abi had Roseola, which we didn't think much of. We decided that since her fever had lasted a few days to take her to the doctor so we found an Urgent Care facility and took her there. They took a few Strep tests and sent us on our way with an antibiotic. Well after we left the doctor the fever broke and later than evening a light rash showed up on her skin. So we looked up Roseola on the internet and it seemed that all of her symptoms coincided with what we were reading. And since both Strep tests came back negative we just figured that's what she had.
So the next couple of weeks will hopefully be semi-normal for us and then Josh will leave on another trip. This time to Japan but this time only for one week.
