Hopefully this illness if finally tailing off. It's been flattening me. I actually had to take a sick day last Friday. And now the last couple days, my sinuses have been quite painful. Very annoying, and actually kind of new for me. Got a cough too which has actually exiled me to sleeping on the couch, so Tracy can get a good night's sleep. So new nephew Rafi was in town this weekend, along with Gabe, Sania, and Ella, so we headed out to the Argaos on Saturday after picking up a pumpkin for carving at Puckerville Farms. There was also Mike and Amy's Baby Shower that night, which I actually missed a good portion of as I tried to put Lucy to sleep. Again, she doesn't do well when there's a party going on. Sunday, came in for dim sum at Phoenix Restaurant with the Tongs, then back to the Argaos, then out to Holiday Inn Matteson for Rafi's Moon Party. And Monday the Argaos and Tongs came over for a family dinner from Gino's East. Kind of crazy with Ella running around, Lucy hanging out, and Rafi too. Ella also gets Lucy to laugh a lot, which is awesome. I have managed to get my mom sick, and Lucy is kind of sick, and Tracy's sick, but she probably got it from the same source I did (Thanks Lisa!), but hopefully didn't get anyone else sick this weekend. In other news, we've started feeding Lucy solids, if you can call rice cereal solid. Ends up she's loving it. Either that or she loves the spoon. Maybe it's the spoon.
