Last weekend we went to San Onofre beach to attend the vow renewal ceremony of Justin and Kathleen. They celebrated their 10th anniversary this year and threw a big party on the beach in honor of those ten years and the lifetime ahead.
Before Poppa and Farmor came to town on Tuesday, I decided that I needed some photos of Soren wearing some of his awesome baby hats. I love babies wearing hats, but it's too darn warm most of the time for such an extensive hat wardrobe--wearing a fuzzy wool hat when it's 85 degrees outside only tends to cook the kid. So I set him up for a hat-wearing photo shoot. In the process, I also got some good photos of him being mad and crying. It's cooled down a little now so we'll see if we can't get him in a few of these before his head grows anymore.
We've been staying near home this past week even though the grandparents are in town because Eianr came down with a good case of coxsackie virus, or hand foot and mouth disease. He had a fever on Monday and Tuesday, but then seemed much better. It wasn't until after we went to church on Wednesday night and came home that he started complaining about a sore throat and had a really rough night sleeping. In the morning I looked into his mouth and saw the sores and took him to the doctor. It goes away by itself and only needs some Tylenol for the pain, but it still takes time.
In the meantime, Einar has been making rockets with Farmor that are fueled with Alkaseltzer tablets and we've also flown kites and gone for walks. Soren has enjoyed having Poppa around to walk him all over the upstairs when Mommy is eating or going to the bathroom.
