A day in the park...

We've had a busy week with Henri. On Friday...he went to the doctor and we found out that he still has something in his chest...so we are now the proud owners of our very own nebulizer machine. I am about 99% certain that a mom was not on the product design team for a nebulizer. The instructions read..."do a quiet activity with your child during treatment." Ha! Ever tried to put a mask on an 11 month old...and then try to have them play quietly for 15 minutes? Not so much.

Despite the terrible design of having to hold a steaming plastic tube up to Henri's nose...I do think it is helping. He was coughing today...and his lungs are not nearly as rattle-sounding. We go back to the doctor on Tuesday...hopefully he'll have made a full recovery and will be feeling like a dream!

Jeff finished his last test Wednesday...now he has clinicals until Thursday...and then will have graduation next weekend. Can't believe we are coming to the end of the road in his career change...but are thrilled to be done. He still has to pass his boards...so the next few weeks will be dedicated to study, study, study.

Henri and I spent the afternoon outside. We took a long walk...and then went to Ce Fiore for a little frozen yogurt. Of course...I didn't pack anything for our walk...just a pack of wipes...since we tend to be a bit messy. Luckily...we were right across from Publix...because we had a level 9 blow-out...and needed to make a quick stop for diapers. :) After we were changed and clean...we walked back to the park. Here's a little video of Henri in the swings. I also tried to have him show his "Itsy Bitsy Spider" skills...I'll try again tomorrow. Too many distractions outside. :) Enjoy!

The Merry-Go-Round

Here is our sweet Henri with the Roth girls loving the carousel at Downtown Disney. Our little Cowboy Curtis...so sweet. Enjoy!

After Chef Mickey...

We all went over to Pop Century and enjoyed the pool. Henri LOVED swimming...I think he was in the water for over two hours! At one point...I thought he might take his nap in the pool...instead...we just skipped it (not recommended). Here are a few more shots from our day with Mike, Jodi, Emilie, John, Lisa, Abby, Gracie, and Sophie.

After swimming we took off for Down town Disney...here is little Miss Sophie...
