We started off this week with a doctor's appointment for Harry. He just wasn't getting better and his eyes were getting all crusty and runny. They were really bad on Monday morning, so instead of Travis taking him to Katrina's and going on to work, it was time to head to the doctor. Their phone system wasn't working to call in to make an appointment, so Travis just took him over there to see if someone could see him. Luckily, he got right in and they gave him some antibiotics. I was going to have his medicine filled at work, head home and take care of him so Travis could get on to work. As he was leaving the doctor's office, he got a call from Jamie. His Uncle Ed had passed away. He was 56. To say we were shocked would be a gross understatement. You probably remember me talking about our family trips to Gatlinburg. Uncle Ed was the one that orchestrated all of those. He was always so excited to do stuff like that. He also owned his own company that built racecars for the local speedway. Shortly after Travis and I started dating, I went out with them to the speedway and it was oneof the first times I had spent a lot of time around Uncle Ed. He teased us all night about how I was going to be the next member of the family. He was right! One of the things I have always liked the most about Travis's family is that they have always made me feel so welcome and he was a big part of that. We will all miss him so much! We know that he is in a better place, and hanging out with Travis's mom Trish and Heavy D. While that has been the most trying part of our week, there have been other struggles as well! The medication the doctor prescribed for Harry causes diarrhea, and boy, did it ever! Poor Travis was really wondering if God was trying to test him, because as he trying to get ready for work on Tuesday, Harry was in the bouncy seat when the diarrhea hit. It got all over the carpet and the bouncy seat as Harry was happily bebopping away. So he had to try to clean up the carpet and give Harry a bath before he could get out of the house. It has also left the worst looking rash on his bottom that I have ever seen. Travis has also come down with a cold or whatever it was that I had and he almost lost his voice like I did. Last night we did something that was kind of funny and definitely took our minds off things! We watched Aiden while George and Audra went our for their anniversary. It was a little hectic taking care of an 11 month old and a 4 month old, but it was a lot of fun! I had forgotten just a little bit about how difficult it was to take care of such a little one! This is the only picture I got around to taking this week... 
What a group of monkeys!
We are very glad this week is coming to an end! We have just about had it with sickness and sadness. We are very much looking forward to Easter, our vacation coming up, and Harry's birthday! I am keeping the faith that things are going to be much better this week!
