The next destination was to my parent's house.
My sister drove up from Arkansas with her two kids and my other sister came from Sioux Falls to visit as well. While we were all home, we threw a surprise birthday party for my dad. My dad was very surprised!

Jack had a grand time exploring Nana and Papa's house! Jack got pretty sick while we were there, so that did slow him down a little. At one point, my mom said to me, "Well, he sure isn't letting his illness get in his way." I then explained to her that this was actually pretty calm for Jack. She then said that Jack can come back to visit when he is 10. Even though he was sick, he did manage to rip the blinds down from my bedroom window. He also managed to give me a mild heart attack--I thought my sister was watching him and I went upstairs for a moment. I am pretty sure that I closed the door behind me, so I was very surprised when all of the sudden, I could hear Jack on the stairs! I went running and the whole time I was wondering what do I do when I get there. If I catch him halfway and he sees me, he might stand straight up, loose his balance and fall all the way down! Well, I didn't need to worry about that--when I got to the stairs, he was already at the top!!!!!! He was quite proud of himself too! I think his
guardian angels must be exhausted at the end of the day!

Here is a picture of Jack with his cousins, Cale and Ellie. I know it is a terrible picture, but of all the ones I took, this is the best one! Somehow, we didn't get any of them the whole time we were there, so this is on our last day there. Ellie is
scowling at Jack because, well, quite frankly, she is sick of him by this point! Jack is crying because he
is sick and Cale is being good as gold like always!
Jack and I were originally going to stay a few more days and visit tons more friends and family, but he was sick and not getting any better, so I decided to head home early so he could get some rest. He slept the entire 4 hour trip home! Once we got home, he didn't seem to get to much better, so I took him to the doctor and they told me he has pneumonia! The doctor said it was a pretty bad case and she said she would be more worried about him if he wasn't tearing apart her office. I felt terrible for thinking it was just a bad cold! They gave Jack his first anti-biotic (I still think that it is pretty good that we made it 11 1/2 months before the first anti-biotic) and he loves it! We had a re-check yesterday and they said he is all better!
