Nasty Weekend

Wednesday, when I picked Noah up from daycare, I learned that three kids were sent home with a tummy bug. We knew the ball was going to drop and it was like waiting for a hurricane to hit! Wednesday night around 1 am, the ball did drop and Noah was officially sick. Waylon had to stay home with him on Thursday and by Friday, he seemed to be better (much to our dismay, the next 'phase' hit on Saturday). Waylon and I thought we had escaped the bug but it hit me on Friday night and hit Waylon on Saturday night.

So our plan for the weekend was to go to Eli's birthday party on Saturday, visit Savannah and just have a quiet non-stressful weekend in general. Instead, we had to keep our distance from everyone and were pretty much homebound - washing sheets and pajamas all weekend! I think we are all on the upswing, though, so that's good.

Friday was a rough day. Getting Seger's stuff together and driving him there was the hardest thing I've ever experienced. After we dropped him off, we were planning to go to the mall and then have a nice dinner but that was when I started feeling sick (ironically about a 1/2 hour after we dropped Seger off). It's been so quiet this weekend and we keep thinking we hear or see Seger. Good news though... the rescue group thinks they might have already found him a home. We found out on Saturday that a couple was already interested in him before we even dropped him off. They submitted an application last week and it was approved. Apparently, they met him soon after we dropped him off on Friday and it went so well, they decided to spent the weekend with him. They are a couple in their upper 30s with no kids who lost their dog of 14 years a few months ago. It sounds like a good situation but it still is strange thinking of him with another family. We do know that he's getting lots of good attention and is probably already happier.

Here is a shot of our two boys on their last day together.



Tonight, Noah worked some more on his spoon skills... you know me and messy face pictures!!

Dropping off Seger had to be such a hard thing to do. My heart aches for you. But you have to do what is right for your family. And it sounds like he is already on his way to finding a great new home! I'm sending you a virtual hug. Love you. jess
