Crazy, Croupy Week

It's been an exciting week around these parts, starting with Aunt Mandy and Uncle Nick visiting over the weekend.  After they left, Sean, Trey and I all went for a swim in Neighbor Bob's pool.  

Decked out in swim gear. 

 Getting brave in the pool.

Then we got last minute word that Isabella was coming to stay with us for two weeks!  Trey brought Isabella home late Sunday night, and we've been doing a little of everything this week.  

Yay, Sissy's here to play! 
 Building a tent in the dining room.
Hanging out at the library. 
 Dancing around the house, looking cool.
Check out this cool Little Man! 

 Watering Momma's flowers.

Unfortunately, yesterday Sean woke up from his nap with a seal-like cough.  When I called the doctor's office to get a refill on his Albuterol, they insisted he come in.  Turns out barking like a seal isn't a good thing, and is actually a sign of Croup.  Which sounds worse than it is.  It's a viral infection of the larynx or voice box, and he's now on steroids (which does wonders for his behavior!), and taking it easy for a few days.  He had a mild fever late last night, but otherwise, he's on breathing treatments and steroids, and doing OK.  Not sure what the weekend holds yet, except for a Father's Day BBQ on Sunday for the dads and grandpas.

Poor little guy can't catch a break, can he?? Hope all is better today- minus the bump! I swear Emily has some sort of bump, bruise or cut- she's such a KLUTZ!
