Viral pink eye has taken us for a beating! Cindy has been out of commission all week. Not only did she catch R’s nasty cold (which she can’t seem to shake), but also R’s pink eye. We have a trip planned this next week and Jake was planning on wrapping up a lot of tasks […]

We had planned a weekend packed with back-to-back social activities, one of which was celebrating Jake’s birthday!!! Unfortunately, Jake and Baby R caught the stomach flu.
