Well, the beginning of this month started out with the flu going through our house. First Mia followed by Olivia. It's never pleasant to see your little ones under the weather, but thankfully it has all passed on and relocated. After the flu Olivia worried us with her extreme exhaustion. We'd pick her up around 4:30 from Jackie's and she'd fall asleep on the drive home. Once home, she'd go straight to bed with her shoes and clothes on and not even wake up for dinner. Waking her in the morning was a struggle too. She was getting over 14 hours of sleep a night and not eating. We took her to the Dr., but got no answers, although the nurse was sure it was mono. She said they've had a huge number of cases lately. Who knows if it was mono or her little body just recovering from the flu. We are thankful she's getting back to her old self again. Her appetite has definitely returned.
Saturday was Andy's 31st birthday. My dad took Andy, Andy's dad, and Jared all to the Ohio State vs. Michigan football game. Needless to say, Andy was thrilled with the outcome. While the men were off watching football the girls and I had some visitors. One of my dear friends, Autumn had a baby boy, Kellen, less than 1 month ago and they drove over to meet us. He is so adorable, but slept most of his visit. We were really hoping to be able to see another one of our good friends, Megan and her new little baby boy Dechlan, but couldn't track them down. Megan and her hubby Nick had Dechlan 1 week ago today. Autumn, Megan, and I were inseparable back in middle school and our freshman year, until Autumn's family moved away. It was fun reminiscing and realizing how much we've all changed.
Kellen Paul and Mia Margaret....too cute

As Autumn left, Grandma Patty came over to catch the last few minutes of the game with us. We had a nice visit, ate some pizza from DaVincis, played a little Uno with Olivia, and some cuddling with Mia, until the men made it home. Mia's new thing she does is leans her head from side to side. She reminds me of a puppy dog. It's cute.
