week in review

let's see, this week.... well, it started with kawelo having another allergic reaction. this time, it was systemic and could've been anything from saturday: playing outside in the freshly cut grass, sunscreen, sun exposure, or a combination of any of the above. i tried benadryl again, but it just wasn't cutting it, so kawelo got to make a trip to the pediatrician on tuesday. the lucky duck was prescribed oral steriods for five days. thankfully, he didn't turn into the hulk, but he did get a bit whiny. wednesday, james & i went to a recognition dinner for the research award he won this year for being awesome at research (and cute, too! the whole package!). it was so nice to dress up and go somewhere! plus, james got this handy-dandy certificate. unfortunately, this baby won't fetch a dime on ebay, so he'll have to settle for hanging it on his office wall.

also this week: rain. every day. that's okay, though, cause april showers bring may flowers! woohoo! hopefully, it'll dry up some time this week so we can get our garden seeds in the ground. we're planning a strawberry patch - wish us luck!
