On the mend

Adrianna's fever finally broke this morning, and she seems to be feeling much better. Of course we still have the dreadful runny nose, but it's so nice to see her showing glimpses of her old self. I ran an errand this morning and came home to find Adrianna chasing Nate around the living room - a very good sign. :-)

Being sick is NO fun!

I just told Nate yesterday that it had been a long time since Adrianna had been sick - wrong thing to say! Today she's had a 102 fever and cried most of the day. The only bright spot of her day was swimming in her pool out back. I think she's teething on top of it all, so we're praying she'll be back to her happy self soon.

Playing around the house

Swimming!!!

Nice Puppy!!!

Yes, this dog is real - I think she looks like a big stuffed animal. And Adrianna seemed to think Gabby was the neatest toy since measuring spoons. She LOVES dogs and has absolutely no fear of them. Is that good???? We may have to work on that in the months to come.

Our trip to Illinois

On Sunday night after church we headed to IL to visit Nate's grandparents and mine. Fortunately they live about a half hour away from each other. Adrianna did really well in the car - of course she didn't sleep much. It was so fun to have her meet a set of my grandparents. And we enjoyed spending time with Nate's grandparents too. Even though Adrianna won't remember anything, it will be special for her to have pictures of our time there.

Garden update

We have our first green pepper!! Who'd have thought I'd get this excited about a vegetable. :-) The garden is growing, thanks to my faithful husband who waters it every morning at 6:30. I just do the weeding once in awhile. More updates to come . . .
