the week in review

Okay, okay...I've been a blog slacker this past week. That just goes to show what a BUSY week it was here in the Moxley household. We had busy afternoons and busy evenings every day last week and I just didn't get around to updating.

We were geared up to go to the fair Wednesday evening. I got Carter ready and Keith and I were ready too. I then went to get Coleman up from his late afternoon nap and he was burning up. Checked his temperature and he had a fever of 102.4. So...forget the fair for the night and spend a little quality time at Pediatrics After Hours, where Coleman was diagnosed with a virus. How do you tell a 3 year old that he can't go to the fair since his little brother is sick??? Carter was fairly upset that we couldn't go, until daddy offered to take him to McDonald's and Bass Pro Shop. Boy, did he come home with a smile on his face!!! Coleman and I hung out together Thursday and he seemed to be feeling a bit better. When we went to pick Carter up that afternoon I found out that 8 of the babies in Coleman's room were out sick that day. I'd say something was going around?!?!

Cici came to keep Coleman Thursday evening for a few hours so we could make our trip to the fair. Carter loved it of course. He had fun watching the firefighter competition, watching the bears and alligators, seeing the model trains, watching the monster truck rides (only in the south folks!!!) and beating mommy at a game(wink! wink!) where he won a stuffed Batman. He thought that Batman was the BEST!!! Once he won it, he was ready to go...we didn't even check out the rides.

Keith was out of town for the weekend so the boys and I stuck close to home. It was a nice change from such a busy week! Carter & Coleman were both super excited to see daddy when he got home last night. Carter ran out to his truck as fast as he could and Coleman wouldn't take his eyes off of him. Too cute!!

And finally...saved the best for last...Coleman took about 5 steps tonight!!!! We couldn't believe it...it just happened! And when we tried to get him to walk some more he wouldn't. His little legs move so fast that he can't walk for wanting to run! No, I didn't have my camera ready, but it all happened so quickly. I'll be ready and waiting now...be on the look out!!!
