Home Bodies

As you can imagine, after the whirl wind week/weekend we had last week, this past weekend we welcomed two full days of being home bodies with very few places to go.

A quick update on Oliver.  He seems to be doing very well.  He is still maintaining his content demeanor with a happy-go-lucky attitude.  He is responding very well to the medications to clear up his sinus infection and help with the Respiratory Airway Disease.  Twice a day he has breathing treatments and he is a real trooper.  We have a follow-up appointment next week and we are hopeful that we will get good reports.  We think that our cure for the cat allergy is working, but we really won't know until we start tapering off of the medical treatments.  We're hopeful, and we remind Madalyn regularly that she owes us, big time.  HA HA!!

Saturday we started with a  breathing treatment and Finding Nemo.

Sunday we started with a breathing treatment and a few good books.

See a trend?

Sunday, we rolled over to be awakened to a fresh blanket of snow.  This is the view out of our bedroom window.  We thought about going to church and then changed our mind.  I guess we are the true definition of "fair weather" attendees.

Oliver and Keith enjoying the view of the winter wonderland.

We did venture out of the house once or twice.  Saturday, Keith went pheasant hunting with his Uncle Jim.  Oliver and I tackled Wal-mart and Costco on the same day.  Caution: People have already started Christmas shopping (including us).  The stores were NUTS.  Oliver highly enjoyed Costco.  Something about free samples and a hot dog stand at the end.  Does it really get much better than that?

Sunday I buried myself in the home office and cleaned it top to bottom.  It is now the cleanest and most organized that it has been in the six years that we have lived here.  I'm hoping it lasts longer than usual.  So far, so good.  Spic and Span!
