Train Trip and Sick Day

On Sunday morning, after a nice date night on Saturday night (thanks Nana and Grandad!), we took a trip to the New Hope Valley Railway just south of here in New Hill. Waylon had seen an ad about this palce and we decided to try it out. It was lots of fun! They had a toy train display that Noah loved - he kept chasing Thomas around the track - and we took an hour train ride, too! Afterwards we had a picnic lunch while listening to live bluegrass music. It was a great family morning.

On Sunday afternoon, Noah helped Daddy prep and paint his new cornhole boards.

Today, we are home sick. Hand Foot and Mouth Disease has been going around his daycare and last night, it hit Noah full force. We went to the doctor this morning and got some suggestions for how to make it though but it's just a virus that has to run it's course. Let's just hope it runs the course before next Thursday!! He has some of the rash symtoms and no fever (luckily!) but what's bothering him the most is the ulcers that are covering the back of his throat. Poor thing. I think we all got a max of a few hours sleep last night. We're hoping tonight is better. Guess we might as well get used to the zombie feeling, huh? :-)
