Things have been busy around here. We're all healthy after a really difficult week. This time it's been the stomach flu. Evan got it first, of course. After a visit to Lower Lights, we headed over to Children's Hospital. Our doctors decided it was time to run some tests to make sure that all of the illnesses Evan has had since October are not related. They took blood on Monday, which was not fun at all, and we have to go back April 10th for a sweat chloride test. We'll be going back to Lower Lights this week. I'll post more when I know the results of the tests. Honestly I'm not that concerned because I really think it's just been a rough winter. But, I think it is a good choice to start ruling out more serious conditions like cystic fibrosis. Trey was the only other one to get sick this week, but it took both of them a really long time to recover. I'm just glad it's over, I really hate cleaning up puke.

As for March Madness, my bracket is amazing. I've been able to go to one game, Virginia vs. Albany. It was a blow out, but it was still so much fun to be there. Tomorrow I'm going to two games, Southern Illinois vs. Virginia Tech and Tennessee vs. Virginia. I'm taking Riley and Evan with me. We're on the very top row, but our seats are still pretty great. Because we're on the press level there will plenty of room for Riley and Evan to roam if they need to wiggle around a bit. I can't wait. The OSU game was so much fun today. I would have loved to have been there. So many good games on today. Becky and Shawn, my sincere condolences after the Duke loss.

Riley's spring break is this week. A trip to the NCAA tournament, Galaxy Golf and Games, the sports exhibit at the Ohio Historical Center, a trip to Mimi and PopPop's, and seeing the new Ninja Turtle movie at the theater are on the agenda. Should be a fun week.

Go Bucks!
