Robyn graduated!

My baby cousyn Robyn graduated from Belmont College University tonight. Congratulations!!!

Robyn got to spend the week in our basement when she, Aunt Beth, and Uncle Ben came to Lexington for several days. It was great to see them - although due to work I didn't get to visit with them nearly as much as I would have liked to. We're only hoping Robyn escaped the stomach bug that has taken out both me and David this week.

Elizabeth had yet another ear infection that was diagnosed on Monday. Fortunately, we convinced the doctor to skip straight to the stronger antibiotic, which she likes the taste of better anyway. The ear infection seems to have cleared up. Now, we're hoping the stomach bug won't get her. She was grumpy and tired tonight, and didn't eat very well, so I'm nervous about that!

Jonathan came home from his summer away on Sunday. Lyra came back with him, so the house is busy as ever! It's great to have the entire family together again. He's settled in nicely, back in his place in front of the computer. Elizabeth was very excited to see him. She now has a new routine at dinner, where she'll "sneak" up behind him and try to "tickle" his back. Of course, she giggles loudly during her approach, so I don't think he's actually very surprised. His first day of 7th grade will be on Wednesday.

We're heading out tomorrow for a long family weekend at Kentucky Lake with Aunt Amy (along with Neal and Jack), Aunt Erin (along with Brad and Brooke), plus all the grandparents. Little do they know this little bug may be coming with us. (Shhhhh....don't tell!!!)
