Last weekend we went to St. Louis to see my grandmother. Eric had a meeting/conference with people from his cluster headaches national group so my sisters and I took the kids to the St. Louis Science Center. We spent the whole day there basically and it happened to be the opening of "A T-Rex Named Sue." On loan from the Chicago Museum of Natural History - Sue is the largest, most complete T-rex ever found. Right now, Ryan is obsessed by dinosaurs and he was thrilled to get to see the exhibit. There was a movie about paleontology and "find your own fossil." They made dinosaur hats and everyone got to make their own stuffed dinosaur at Build-A-Dino (Build-A-Bear's shop inside the museum - man that can get expensive FAST).
We were all worn out by the end of the day but it was a lot of fun. Eric got a nice break and got to meet a lot of nice people. I had a nice visit with my family.
Soon after we got back, Alex came down with a 103 degree fever. He was subsequently diagnosed with a double ear infection AND strep. A day or two after, Ryan ran fever and finally Katie. Everyone got antibiotics and today they are all mostly better.
Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!!! We had planned to celebrate at the annual Lunar New Year party in Springfield today but strep has us all celebrating at home with red cupcakes instead. Here's to a fabulous and healthy Year of the Ox.
