Team i6 Takes on Week 119

Interesting week here in The Wonderful World of i6.  Started out exciting (good)...as you can see in the posts below, particularly the Truck one, and the excitement (nnnnot so good) just kept on coming. 

Sunday morning (good) Linc spent some time honing his art skills at a paint your own pottery place near us & then we had lunch & ice cream (which Lincoln practically demanded, whoa there kiddo eat your sandwich first)!  Now, Sunday night that's a whole other story...there was an incident (not good) involving a corner and a Lincoln head, the short story is the corner won.  After some initial crying he seemed ok minus the slight scratch and knot above his left eye.  Come the morning his eye looked a little red/blood shot so we decided to take him to the Dr.  He is fine, a little eye salve to be applied for a few days.  So that was the first trip to the peditrician for the week...more on that later.

Then came Tuesday (good), and with it quite the historic event around the DC area.  I wish very much that Lincoln would have gotten to have the same experience as Mommy & Daddy because he would have eaten it up.  The Space Shuttle Discovery flew in to town and landed at the Dulles International Airport.  They made a pretty big show of it and had the specially modified 747 carrying the Shuttle do several passes around the city of DC and several around the Dulles Airport.  Todd and I both are lucky enough to work very close by and so we were able to see this historic flight.  It was awesome.

If you look in the lower left corner of that picture you can see the row of townhouses that we live in...yeah I work that close to home. :)  So we might have actually gotten to see the Shuttle from our bedroom window!  It looks much further away in the picture I was able to snap with my iPhone than it actually was, but I promise it was very impressive.  And I'll also throw in two pictures that one of my talented coworkers took from the roof of our office building.  

And then there was Wednesday.  (not good) Got a call from daycare & they told me that Linc's hand was swollen and bruised.  They hadn't see anything happen to it and he never cried at any point alerting them to an accident but they were concerned.  So I picked him up took him to the Dr. (oh yeah we ended up seeing the same one from Monday even though we have like 7 or 8 Drs in our practice, awesome) and she sent us for Xrays.  Poor Linc did not do well at all there, he was a very unhappy camper and we did NOT get the mission accomplished.  So Daddy had to take him back the next day to try again, this time with success!  The results: no fractures, thank goodness!  But little man had to wear a ace bandage and we had to ice it and give him Advil for a few days.

(good) As a little treat for being such a brave boy at the Xray place Daddy took Linc to the Reston Zoo for a little bit after so he could see the animals.  He is still loving the new bird exhibit.  And then we all met up at Reston Town Center for a lovely dinner out.  

Look for a few more posts this week of all the fun we have coming up this weekend!  We are super excited and I promise there will be lots of pictures.
