What a big weekend! LJ's Godfather, MFK, came to visit...he arrived Friday night after LJ had gone to bed, but LJ was all smiles Saturday morning. We had French Toast Casserole**, eggs, and sausage for breakfast. Not too long after breakfast, RJ and MFK spent the afternoon doing "guy stuff"...this took them away from the house, so LJ and I had a nice afternoon together. Once the guys returned, I made some pizza rolls and stromboli*** and we had an early dinner. After dinner we went out to a local park...RJ and MFK threw the football as LJ and I watched. Every-so-often we'd have to do a head's up as disc golfers were teeing off nearby. That was fun, the weather was nice, and afterwards we got snow cones. That took 30 minutes, LJ was losing his patience, but MFK and I both ordered cherry-cola and it was GOOD!
Sunday we left to visit KK (LJ's Godmother) as she lives in the same town where RJ had an early doctor's appointment on Monday. We also picked my mom up at the airport and went out to dinner before dropping her off at her hotel (she left Monday for her week in Rome). RJ's visit to the doctor went really well. Everyone at this hospital was really nice, not in a hurry, but really nice. The doctor gave RJ some really good news concerning new research in the thyroid realm (this research indicates that RJ is, for all intents and purposes, cured and some of the testing he's had done in the past is no longer necessary). LJ was a really good little boy! I am still not used to all the attention this little guy gets (and brings to me and RJ in the process). People seem to love to see a baby...so many strangers come up to us, talk to us, and touch little LJ's hair or his cheeks...it is amazing! After RJ's appointment, we all went out for lunch and then we headed home. MFK left not too long after we returned home and this left the Js to recover!
The Js don't have any plans to go out of town anytime in the near future. We are looking forward to a day visit from CP's family and LS's family...and to the relatives who will be in town for SJ's graduation!
**French Toast Casserole is super-yummy and you must ask me for the recipe if you think it sounds good. As a bonus, it is easy to make and is great to serve when you have houseguests.
***The pizza rolls and the stromboli are both super-yummy and you must ask me for the recipe if you think they sound good.

i'd like to vouch for the pizza rolls being incredibly awesome, and the french toast casserole is pretty nice as well!
I wondered what happened to my hair and now I remember. In the past, when you had a baby with you in public, people came up and oogled the baby and then reached over and rubbed YOUR head. After about six of those baby things I seem to have lost my hair. Go figure...
