A Wedding, A Grandson, A Cold, What A Week

By
Real Estate Agent with ERA Wilder Realty, Inc.

I'm back.  Last week was a whirlwind marriages, baby sitting, work, and sickness.  I must be a multi-tasker because I was able to get through the week and get rested this past weekend. 

In prior post I spoke of some of the panic and getting ready for my daughter's wedding.  Well Saturday, a week ago, was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding.  The wedding went off without a hitch and after a nice reception, they were off on their honeymoon and we were off with a 10 month old grandson.

For the next 4 days we took care of our grandson or he took care of us.  How old am I?  I must be 105 after getting woke up a couple of times a night, feedings, temper tantrums, crawling and getting into stuff, etc., etc., etc.  It's been awhile and I felt it by the time the happy couple came to get him on Wednesday. 

Then my son, wife, and I all got a cold and spent the next 2 days sniffing, sneezing, and coughing.  Wow, what a way to end the week. 

Easter Sunday was a beautiful day and we went for a great walk around Swan Lake.  We really enjoyed the trip.

So to wrap it up, the wedding of our daughter, keeping our grandson, colds, and finished by a fantastic Easter Sunday.  We had a great week!

My (16 month) son and I have a cold too; I'd rather have one in April though!

Matt - we did get better quicker than we would in January.

Allen - It was a lot but it was all worth it.  Daughter married, grandson a little more spoiled.  It was good.

Sally - Just remember.  Grandchildren are God's gift to parents for letting their children live.

Thanks Bod and Carolin.  I spent Sunday resting and relaxing.  How nice it was.  I'm finding it hard to get back into the swing of things, but watch out, here I come!

Well I hope all of you are completely well again.  I can't imagine a 10 month old again.  WOW.  Too old for that.  I'm glad it was a nice outdoor wedding.  Those can be kinda tricky to get.  Congratulations!

How sweet, Ron.  I hope your whole gang is feeling better.  You were probably able to get your much needed rest after the grandson left.
