Ready to go!

We took Bohdan to the doctor yesterday. While he has a summer cold virus, his ears looked great and the doctor felt there was almost no danger of him developing an ear infection. This is very good news since he never shows the classic signs of ear infections so we don't know he has them until they're full-blown. He actually seems to feel much better today too.

So we're ready to leave on our trip now...except for the packing of course!

Any guesses on how many Disney movies we'll watch/listen to over the course of a 6-day trip with a 2-year-old?

Can't wait

We're getting ready to leave on an actual family vacation at the end of this week! We're very excited since we haven't taken a vacation (more than a weekend away) since our trip to Ireland 3 1/2 years ago. We'll be going to Moab, Utah, for some relaxation and awesome scenery. The place we're staying is a B&B cabin right by Arches National Park and Canyonlands.

Our one concern right now is that Bohdan has had a runny nose all day and he had a fever this evening. He just doesn't seem to feel quite right, so I'll be trying to get him into the doctor tomorrow morning. Hopefully he's not getting an ear infection. We're praying that he's well by the time we leave, and that Jess and I don't get sick too.

Can't believe we're keeping up with the Joneses (well, the Chases) by creating a blog. LOL!
