Weekly Round-Up: July 1-7

I'm a little behind this week.

1. Drive night with the whole family. They were ready to go home after an hour.

2. My mom was nice enough to let us vacation at her house for the holiday weekend while they were out of town to give us a chance to relax. I don't think anybody loved this as much as Hank. He was so happy to lay in grass again. That boy loves laying in the sun in the grass more than he loves eating & giving kisses combined. (We've had to keep the dogs from the backyard since Ollie passed to try & kill as much of the parvovirus as possible first.)

3. Ryan grilled hamburgers & I guess I'm the only weird one that doesn't want their cheese melted.

4. & 5. Jeremy & Natalie came over to help us celebrate the 4th, eat those hamburgers & watch fireworks on the top of Ryan's work parking garage downtown.

6. Hank ate his bed. The "Hey! He stopped peeing in the middle of the day and/or night & hasn't chewed anything up so let's reward him with this wonderful bed" bed. Please note that Comet didn't want any part of this. He was curled up as close as he could to the edge of the pen when we got home shaking in terror. Ha!

7. Comet went for his first swim... at 7 years old... in a bathtub. (Thanks mom! Haha!)

Although he looks terrified, he really did appear to enjoy it.

8. I had to work the day after the fourth. I was so bored.

9. Hank had an official play date with his girlfriend, Oswin & her brother Remus. I can't explain the joy & sadness I felt seeing how happy he was. I'm afraid he's been a little depressed trying to figure out where Ollie has gone. He doesn't really know what to do without his wrestle/chase buddy. Oswin fixed that for a couple of hours & I think he could have slept for 24 hours straight afterwards.

Last week is brought to you by my sweet parents that made last week a good one. Thank you so much for opening your house to us. You gave us a nice & quiet place to relax & not have to worry about everything that's been going on at our house. It was just what we needed! Hank & Comet are lucky to have such good grandparents too. :)
