Kate's Memorial Weekend

Friday I came home to this. Fever (103), cough, vomiting. Talked to jerky on-call peditrician who said, "This could be an ear infection." OF COURSE...since we go to the doctor every two weeks these days.

Saturday we took the show on the road...to the ER. Fever (106.7), cough, vomiting. Jerky ER doctor said, "You brought her in for a fever; I will treat the fever." This after I tried to explain two breathing treatments and antihistamine she is on as well. Chest x-ray and urine cath followed. UTI. New drug added to the mix PLUS the Tylenol/Ibuprophen (generic, of course, since the recall) to get fever down.

Saturday night at home. Same deal. Sunday, she played a little in the day. Sunday night...the same as the others. Monday morning...same. Do I sense a pattern??

Captive Audience

What was that?
Look! Kate poured her bubbles on the table!
Isn't it FUNNY?
Oh yes it is!!
(Grandpa trying to look like it is not funny, unsuccessfully)!

"I do it"

and she did!

Sunny Days...

By the end of the day, she was sliding alone!
On the see-saw. Guess who was on the other end?
Up the "big kid" ladder.

geometrically speaking

"Aunt" Martha and Kate were reading a book on colors. However, when I passed by several times, it had been turned into a book on Shapes, objects, and other educational things that made my head spin. Pentagon was the buzz word of the night. I don't know if they were talking in code, but either way, my daughter had a great homeschooling lesson!


And she liked it!

Happy Birthday, Grandaddy!

so THIS is how "mom" does it

No wonder she always wants on the counter when I am making dinner!

At least it is Paula Deen!

Sing me a song, you're the piano (wo)man

Hey, good lookin'

Whatcha got cookin'? In Kate's case...zim-zim cookies. M&M cookies for the rest of us. YUM!

sweetness and love

...and a little cookie on her face
...working the window
...a slight comb-over look
...love...pure love
...clean...pure clean

Mother's Day

warning: There will be no pictures of Kate and her mother, because, well, none were taken!

waiting out the rain

Last night, we sat on the screened in porch waiting for the storms to come. The wind was howling, but we were enjoying the night. Kate brought her babies out to watch the clouds, too.
