An Unexpected Sleepover at Mama and Papa's House and a Good Sunday!

Our plans for Saturday and Sunday:
  • I was going to a party at a friend's house on Saturday afternoon while Dave stayed with Dane
  • Dave would go to work from 11pm-7am
  • As soon as Dave got home and changed Sunday morning we would head to St. Louis for church and to see our beautiful niece, Taylor, have her Confirmation.

Our Weekend:

Dave came home from work on Saturday morning with his eye swollen shut. Friday he had said his eye was itching a lot, but didn't think much of it. At work overnight it got red, oozy, and swollen. He went to sleep for a bit and woke up with it looking even worse. He headed to Ste. Genevieve ER and I got Dane and I ready to attend the party at my friend's house. Dave did come by the party on his way home from the ER and said he would take Dane, but Dane was being so good that I kept him. It turned out Dave had an infection in his eye. He was given some medicine at the hospital, but had a prescription for a steroid he needed filled. Now in good old Ste Genevieve nothing was open to fill a prescription, after all it was 5:00 on a Saturday evening. Since Dave couldn't really drive too well because he had a big patch over his eye he asked if I would drive to Festus with him to get the prescription. Well Dave was also given a note from the ER Dr. that he should not return to work until Monday evening. We thought about it and figured if we were driving to Festus to get a prescription and then were going to St. Louis at 8:00 Sunday morning we might as well just stay up there Saturday evening. So in about 20 minutes I had all three of us packed and ready to go. We called Mama and Papa and told them we were coming and we headed up.

Dane had a great time at Mama and Papa's Saturday night. He watched football with Papa and Dave while my mom and I went to get Dave's prescription filled. He was waving his arms, kicking his legs, and laughing so much that Papa took a video of him on his Blackberry and sent it to me. Mama and I watched it while we were sitting at Walgreens waiting on Dave's medicine.

Sunday morning we went to church for Taylor's Confirmation. Dave and Dane were ready and were waiting for me and Dane just fell right asleep on Dave's lap. Dave got quite the looks from Dane and the nieces and nephew since he had the patch on his eye.

What a little cutie in his khakis and sweater!
Dane slept until right before service started. He was so good when he woke up. As Taylor recited the Apostle's Creed he smiled like he could see her and she was talking right to him, then when she finished he let out a little squeal like he was cheering for her.
After church we headed back to Mama and Papa's house for a Confirmation Party! We had a delicious lunch, relaxed, and hung out. Dane showed off his new skill of sitting up. Claire is really on the move now. She is taking a few steps here and there. She really likes to go after Dane.
Since we spent the night at Mama and Papa's we had to take Max with us. Max absolutely loves my Grandma. He sat by her a lot. When I said, "Come on Max, time to go," he jumped up on the couch and snuggled in next to my Grandma like he was staying with her. We really think she should get a dog like Max, but she says she's too old for that.
