Hey all! We are enjoying some cooler weather, although sickness has hit the Petersen home so we haven't enjoyed it as much as we would like. Gwen felt pretty yucky all week and finally got to the doctor to find that a sinus infection had turned to a worse infection, so on the antibiotics she goes...Tuesday was voting (we are having a tough time swallowing the presidential results, but happy about the marriage ammendment) and Jim's church night. Wednesday was soccer night and Thursday - who knows? Gwen and the kids went to the park a couple of times and the kids enjoyed riding bikes in the driveway a few times. Saturday was soccer game, birthday shopping, and date with Jim for Gwen's birthday. Gwen was feeling pretty yucky on her birthday and then Jim got food poisoning from dinner out that night. Sunday Gwen and kids stayed home from church (coughs, runny noses) and Jim suffered through church not feeling well. We stayed in all day. As Gwen was going to bed on Sunday night, she checked in on John and he was unable to breathe, it was pretty scary, he was panicking making it worse, so off to the ER Gwen and John went. He was diagnosed with croup, given a breathing treatment and steroid shot and we got home at 3am. So the sick week wasn't very fun, hopefully we are nearing the end. Hope everyone is well. Thanks for all of the birthday calls, cards, etc. It's fun to hear from you...Have a great week. Love Jim Gwen Reagan and John
