Weekend visit with Aunt Kate

This weekend Will's Aunt Kate visited from Florida. In the picture above Will is wearing the shirt that his Aunt Meagan got him for the occasion, since it features a picture of a dog that looks just like Kate's baby Bosco. And yes, I am wearing my Massless Winos t-shirt!

We had a barbecue on Saturday and on Sunday Matt, Will, and I drove to the house in Delaware to do some lawn upkeep. Will and I took a nice walk around our new neighborhood while Matt took the car to buy a lawnmower and a hose. During our walk we met some of the neighborhood kids, who were manning a lemonade stand across the street from our house. The kids were funny and gave us the scoop on some of our neighbors (apparently one of our neighbors breeds and sells rabbits and the other has a pool that he never opens, so frogs collect inside and make quite a ruckus later in the summer). They also told us that although they advertised lemonade at 25 cents a cup, for us it was free because were were new. I thought that was a good sign that the neighborhood kids were so nice, and of course we paid for our lemonade anyway.

And yesterday we went out for a lovely lunch with Kate and Meagan, and then drove Kate to Dulles for her flight home. It was a nice day, and I got a lot of packing done.

This morning I am at home because Will has a doctor's appointment. He has an eternal cold, and this time it seems worse than usual. I thought it was better toward the end of last week, but he has once again developed the goopy eyes that he had in April, though this time it is not as bad. Still, if he has an ear or sinus infection I don't want to wait until next Monday, when he already has another appointment scheduled as a follow up to last week's appointment. We really want to get our money's worth from Aetna while we're still in Virginia, after all.
