Just like a vacation!

Felix's daycare was closed Friday so all the teachers could get their CPR training, etc.  I took the day off, and invited Cassie to spend the day with us.  We took a field trip to Olbrich Gardens (Cassie and Felix's first time).  Wow - that was a nice change of pace.  Hot temperature, high humidity, lots of greenery in the Conservatory.  It felt like being in Mexico again.  It was also nice to remind Felix what green plants look like.  We next went to Monty's Blue Plate Diner for a fabulous lunch (lots of people smiling at Felix), and got huge cupcakes.  Later, Grandma and Grandpa K made a spur-of-the-moment drive down to Madison to attend the Badger hockey game.  Overall, it was a great day, except for the end... Felix refused to nurse or take a bottle, and cried for a while before succumbing to sleep.  That really threw us for a loop, since it was the first time he's ever done that.  We thought it might have been teething, but he definitely was sick with a cold today.  Poor boy.  Coughing, sneezing, eyes watering, snotting (which even seven-month-olds know to wipe away with their sleeves), drooling.  This boy is a mass of leaking bodily fluids.  We just hope it gets better quickly!

Felix: 7 mos

First Half of 2026

It's been a whirlwind of a summer so far, so much so that I forgot to whip up this blog post until now.  2026 has been good to us so far...
