Last weekend Sierra went with her auntie to a jewelry party and Gus and I went mountain biking together... for the first time in 14 months!! It felt great being out there again on the trail with my husband. We really want to make it out weekly together. It is really important to keep that aspect of our relationship going; getting out together in nature and being active. The beginning of the week blew by quick in anticipation for Thanksgiving. Pop Pop Mickey babysat for us during the beginning of the week, and enjoyed spending more time with Sierra. On Wednesday we headed to Grammy Annie's and Grandpa Jer-Bear's with Lyn. We all caravanned down early...ish in the morning, and stopped at Great Grandma Maribeth's.
Unfortunately Sierra developed her first "serious" cold, which progressed the whole day until the evening when we decided she needed to be seen by a doctor. Gus and I headed down to the children's hospital. We spent quite a few hours there, and were given the diagnosis of bronchiolitis. It's not that serious in adults, but in infants it can be more serious. It's a viral infection which swells the sacs in the lungs. It made me realize all of the items we forgot at the house and now how to properly pack for an extended trip.
Thanksgiving was a perfect day, with great weather and an intimate family feel. Great Grandma came up, we all prepped for the big meal throughout the morning before we had our brunch. We had a family croquet game that was very intense for all the players involved. After the nail biting finish, we finished up the prep for the big dinner. All of the food was outstanding, and we all were extremely satisfied about everything.
The holiday has been great for all of us. Gus and I were able to bike more together and the baby spent a lot of quality time with family. It really has been my favorite Thanksgiving.
