Flu Shots, Pinwheels, & Cheese balls

On Thursday, I had the great idea that Maverick and I both get our flu shot. It seemed harmless enough, until Maverick woke up on Friday morning with a fever and was completely out of it. Luckily, Jesse had the day off (except for the fact that he was going to go work on his research all day), so he was able to stay home with Maverick. Meds brought the fever down, but he wasn't feeling the best until today, Sunday. Needless to say, we also had to cancel our babysitter we had for the Coyotes game yesterday; it was probably going to be the last game we EVER went to, but that's ok, it was on TV. Maverick and I looking cute. He is very attached to his pacifier, however, he only uses it in the house. As soon as we say we're leaving and going somewhere, he puts it away in his crib!

Saturday was the most beautiful fall day! I was feeling like junk food, so Maverick and I had chips, cheese balls, and a Mello Yello for me! Being sick let's you break the rules, so Maverick ate all the cheese balls he wanted!

Here's the pinwheel Maverick got after his shot. He played with it for about 5 minutes then was done. Actually, he lost it when we were riding the bikes back home, he stuck the pinwheel out, and it got caught in Jesse's bike tire, and flew away. It was pretty funny! Maverick really didn't care.

Maverick and I.

And, Jesse. He loves Maverick's blocks. He's always building these elaborate structures while Maverick naps. Maverick undoubtedly destroys them within 5 minutes of being up each time.
And an exciting note, Jesse has 3 interviews scheduled already!! We are very excited. So far, he is interviewing in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and St. Louis!! I am so proud of him. He'll be gone a lot this fall, but I'd rather have him gone then versus after the new baby.

Ahna recently emailed this picture to me. It seems everyone likes getting their picture taken next to something that reminds them of Maverick!! They were having a fun day at Cedar Point in Ohio! Wish we had been there. I could have held their sunglasses while they rode the rides.
