Rain, Rain Go Away

I sit here and look out the window and think we are on day 6 of rain- maybe not straight through but for the most part. I heard this morning that there are shelters up around the area because the rivers are high- WOW. But on a closer to home note- our backyard is beautifully green! Ryan actually had to mow it yesterday in one of the breaks of rain. Since the last post we have been camping, my birthday has happened and we went to one of Jackson's closet friends birthday party. All in one weekend.

Jackson is doing well- he loved camping but when we got home on Sunday he started running a low grade fever and kept it until yesterday morning or so but it was on and off- I am blaming alot of teeth that he must be getting. Several nights he has awoken us and been screaming with no way of comforting him. One night Ryan was on standby and had to go out from about 9:45-11:30 or so at night. While he was gone Jackson woke up and as I held him and tried to comfort him all he screamed was "dadadadada". Apparently i couldn't do it!! But for the last two night he has slept through so hopefully we are out of that for now!

He is currently watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and saying "key" "key". He is getting too smart for his own good and getting into everything. I have had to keep moving things back because suddenly he can reach them.

On a sadder note- we have found out the grandma Berrilla has cancer and are awaiting the total specifics. I am already going home in about 2 weeks until the beginning of Sept. but we have begun to look for flights home for Ryan as well. So we'll see about that. We just hope for a full recovery but are also realistic about the disease.
