It has been a long week stuck inside with our sick little mini but he is starting to feel better, so we are looking forward to a good weekend together!

Tomorrow morning I think we will head to the park and get some swinging (and coffee-drinking) done before dark. Have a great weekend and check out some of the fun stuff I came across on the web this week:
