Bob moves the RV to Ellicott City and plans to stay overnight there so he can have his last campfire and a couple of glasses of wine.
It rains all day. Corinne goes back to Target for rain boots and shampoo for Nathan.
Gary eats dinner with his sister Julie. Dani and Corinne split leftover pad thai. Very good for the sinuses.

Day 116 - Tuesday, 10/13/09, SETTLED
Dani returns to work and Nathan goes to daycare. Corinne spends most of the day weeding Dani's front gardens. They are overrun with ground ivy, wild violets, prickly weeds and dandelions.
We eat dinner at the Crackpot and then Dani and Corinne go shopping at Target for a backpack for Dani's trip to Dallas this coming weekend to visit GiGi (Great-Grandma Ruth Stern).

Day 115 - Monday, 10/12/09,SETTLED
Dani stays home from work. She still has trouble breathing, and is so weak that she can barely lift Nathan, who weighs 32 lb. We decide to send Nathan to daycare so that Mom can get some rest, since he is very clingy to Mom and cranky with Grandma. Grandma doesn't rate any more now that Mom and Dad are home.
After Gary returns from work, we order take-out Thai food. Good for clearing the sinuses. Gary is starting to feel punky, too, so he doesn't feel like cooking.

Day 113 - Saturday, 10/10/09, SETTLED
We are visiting Corinne's daughter Danielle Stegman and her husband Gary, along with their 2 1/2 yr. old son Nathan. Corinne is so excited to see her little grandson, whom she has not seen since Corinne and Bob's wedding 4 months ago.
Dani has a cough. Nathan is halfway through a cold, too, and no longer has a fever.
They have an overnight planned so we can babysit, and they decide to go despite the fact that Gary is starting to feel under the weather. They do dinner and a movie, and then stay at a nearby hotel. After a brief bit of crying, we distract Nathan easily with puppets and he is fine for the rest of the evening.

Day 114 - Sunday, 10/11/09, SETTLED
Dani stops at a clinic on the way home from their overnight. She is diagnosed with bronchitis, and is given antibiotics, an inhaler, and cough Perles. She is pretty wiped out.
We take Nathan on a long walk with Fen, their Husky, who has been acting crazy and running uncontrollably around the house. It is the first time that Corinne has walked the dog, not to mention dog + preschooler. It works out fine.
Grandpa Bob heads to church and we walk back home, just in time for Mom and Dad to walk in the door.
In the afternoon everybody watches the Ravens. Then Gary makes a wonderful roast beef with twice-baked cheesy potatoes. He's a great cook and Danielle is very lucky. We plan to try this recipe at home - it's foolproof as long as you don't open the oven while it's cooking.
Grandma does bath and story time with Nathan to give Mom a break. It's hard for Nathan, though, because he is now very clingy after his parents' absence.
