It's been a very busy few days. Our nephew Collin went into the hospital with seizures so Beth went up to Michigan on Thursday to see Stephanie. She left Alex and Melissa with friends Thursday and I took Friday off to watch them so she could stay overnight. Alex had been somewhat sick for a few days (we thought it was teething) but on Friday morning he had blisters on his hands and feet and in his mouth. When Beth got home Friday afternoon she took him to the doctor and as it turns out he has "hand, foot, and mouth" disease. Probably caught it in the day care room at the YMCA. Not real serious but contagious (to other kids), the primary symptom other than the blisters is being crabby (yes. he is.) and without much appetite. Our first day of league bowling was Saturday, and since we hadn't picked up a ball since last year's league ended, we didn't do so well. 101-119-148 for me, 101-86-94 for Beth. Today I missed church; since Alex can't be in the nursery I stayed home with him while Beth took Melissa. Today was my fantasy football draft day. Last year I missed draft day and lost every game, this year I plan to dominate.
