Rough Week with a Delightful Visit from Peyton and Family

It's been an interesting week. Sick with a sore throat and cough since Tuesday. Had an appreciation chili supper for my church choir on Wednesday night. Amanda, Chad, Peyton and Apollo arrived Friday night, which brightened my week considerably - I almost forgot I wasn't feeling well! We kept Apollo while the other three took a day trip to Springfield to visit friends - they returned around bed time. Peyton followed Grammy's request (don't tell her Mommy) and woke up around 6 a.m. on Sunday morning so that she and Grammy could have some quality time together before they returned to Olathe around 9:30 a.m. to attend a Halloween Party at their church. She makes me smile no matter what. Her hugs and kisses (on the cheeck only this weekend) are priceless. She is such a good little walker now and so inquisitive. Her favorite toys now are non-toys - like a sample size toothpaste in a box that shakes, etc. - whatever she can find in the cabinets that she doesn't think she could have - ha ha. She loves Apollo and tried to befriend Murray - he is still not sure what she is, but is very patient with her petting him. Having any amount of time with our family here is awesome - wish we could see them more!
