Little Eri is one week old today! He is doing much better and, after a week under “tanning” lights, it seems that all the hard work to get him to eat and adjust has paid off. Still wish I could meet the guy in person…Ferdi got to go home this weekend which was great for everyone. I’m sure Catherine won’t feel better until she brings Eri home for good–but I can’t blame her. No word yet on how much longer he will have to stay at the hospital.
Our weekend in NC consisted of cleaning out the garage (finally! yay!), grocery shopping (booooo–which was made worse by the realization that the coupons I meant to bring were sitting at home in the trashcan because I had grabbed the expired ones instead…grrr!!!), playing with the dogs, and checking out the Botanical Gardens just down the road. Turns out North Carolina has the same pollen problem that Fort Rucker, AL has in the spring. There is a layer of yellow on EVERYthing outside. No joke, if you stand outside for 10 minutes, or put something outside, it (or you) will be covered in a chalk-like dusting of pollen. All I can say is, thank goodness neither Nick nor I have terrible allergies. The Botanical Gardens were really nice. Not alot blooming yet, but it was great to get outside and walk around. Pluuuuuusss it was free…always a plus in my book. Time to jet off to work for the evening…while I love having the morning to workout and just relax, I wish it didn’t mean that I have to work until 9 tonight 
It’s really not fair for me to complain, though–3 hours of work is no big deal.
