And here we are at Monday again. Poor Jack’s been battling a nasty fever, cough, and just feeling like crap. He managed to stay fever free this weekend for the first time all week so I’m hoping (fingers crossed) that he’s on the up and up. Friday night we went to a hibachi restaurant to celebrate my sister’s birthday.
