It is time to send a big THANK YOU to my wonderful husband Mike who took over all parenting duties for the weekend so that I could head to Philadelphia to celebrate my friend Erin's 30th birthday (Happy Birthday Erin!!!)
The weekend did not begin auspiciously. Wednesday night Henry very suddenly got sick - severe shaking (and extreme grumpiness) as his fever shot up to 103. One of the other kids at his daycare had hand foot and mouth disease (very common this time of year, and VERY contagious), so we were worried that might be what he had. A quick trip to the doctor on Thursday confirmed that he was sick, but not what exactly he had. So, we took a wait and see attitude and the final decision for me to go ahead with the weekend wasn't made until Friday morning when we saw that Henry's fever had broken (he seems fine now, so it looks like it was just a short bug of some kind).
Friday I flew to Philly to see Erin and Roy and was joined later that evening by Beth and Jess for a nice William Smith reunion. On a side note - it was SO NICE to fly by myself! I only had my one little carry-on! I got to read on the plane!
We had a great weekend complete with excessive amounts of cheese, spa treatments, lots of sangria, bowling, two separate birthday cakes, more cheese, and the largest game of Apples to Apples ever played.
Here is a photo of the lovely birthday girl in all her bowling glory:
It was also a mini-baby celebration because Erin is having a baby BOY in January!
Thanks again to Mike - I know Henry enjoyed all the daddy time. We can't wait to see everyone again in a few weeks for our Columbus Day celebration!

so jealous! looks like you guys had so much fun!
Sounds like you had a blast--good for you! I'm glad your little guy recovered so well. He's far too cute to get sick!
OMG - I am horrified by this photo of me bowling. It explains so much about my terrible score.
