Grandparents+Car Show=Awesome

Sean's parents drove their camper out to Colorado last week and we were happy to spend some quality time during their visit!  Davis loved racing Hot Wheels with Grandpa Dan and Grandpa was a good sport even though he fixed the rules so Grandpa could never win.  

 Grandma Pat brought the boys some fun new Halloween books and helped get the grumpies out of Davis. 

On Saturday, everybody headed up to Georgetown for a car show.  Sean said it was a really good one (and he's been to a zillion, so I guess he would know) and it sounded like they had a great day!

 I don't know about the cars, but the setting was beautiful!

 

 ...and, they're off!

This daddy is hoping to pass along his love of cars to the next generation...we shall see!

Almost Forgot!

Sean took the boys to Salina, KS over the weekend for a car show. He met his dad & two of his brothers there. Marc & Mike both brought their own cars to be in the show! Carter enjoyed getting to see them and play with his cousins Leah & Jace.

On Friday morning, Sean called to tell me that Davis had gotten his first tooth! It is on the bottom right and it looks like the bottom left tooth is getting ready to come in right beside it.

On Friday night, Sean and Carter spent a few hours in the ER of Salina's hospital to get Carter's ankle looked at. Carter has cellulitis on his right leg, we think from scratching at a bug bite that he had gotten earlier in the week. Needless to say, this was a scary thought for me as I was at work Friday night trying to get report on all my patients and find out what kind of medical facilities were available for my little boy in the middle-of-nowhere Kansas. If they had admitted him for IV antibiotics, I would have been in the car and on the road to KS in record time. Turns out that Salina actually has a pretty decent hospital and a 24-hour Walgreen's nearby. Thank God! More importantly, Carter's leg looks normal again and he only has a few more days of oral antibiotics.

Sean did a GREAT job of taking care of the boys while they were gone (not an easy job!). I don't know too many dads who would take both kids to the grocery store, let alone out-of-state! Also, a big thanks to Grandpa Dan for watching Davis while Sean took Carter to the hospital.

car show

Sean took the boys to a car show on Sunday. Looks like they saw a lot of cool rides! Carter was asking about it all day Saturday and Sean learned a valuable lesson: Don't tell him about outings until an hour or so before you go!
