Sorry for the silence after the Hot Dog Post.

We were going to be out of town this weekend, but, well, it didn’t quite work out.

Two of the kids were going to a friends house and another was going to stay with my Mom. That left Jen and I having only the baby for the weekend. This was great because we were heading to Dothan, AL for a church conference and the baby could go to the nursery.

Bummer for us and Charlie, but Charlie woke up Friday with a fever. Jen ran him to the doctor where he tested negative for flu (swine flu is in town and going around the schools) and he tested negative for strep throat.

But…

It meant that we both couldn’t go to the conference. So we did what we usually do in these cases. We tag team.

I left out Friday afternoon and attended the Friday night and Saturday morning meeting. Then I drove home, tagged Jen and she drove over for the Saturday night and Sunday morning meetings. While it isn’t optimal, it beats not going at all.

Charlie missed yesterday as well, but he is back to school today.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, but our new entertainment center showed up Friday. Take a look:

Yes, that’s the Wii up top…hey, had to hook up the essential equipment.
