Trying to Finish Well!

As the title suggest the whirlwind that begins today and doesn't end til my birthday starts today. Happy Birthday Annadedria! It starts on your birthday and ends on mine:-) Shane's first class is tonight, he is going to be staying down there til Tuesday morning then flying to Seattle to go straight to work. The rest of the week is normal with Kelli finally able to go to school. Kids are all pretty much back to normal, which recently means clear runny nose. Then he leaves again Sat. afternoon to go with his folks to Fred's appointment in Maryland. He'll be back Thursday the 6th, go to work. Then work Friday (my birthday). Whew!! Had a pleasent weekend, spent some of our tax return boosting the economy. We replaced our aging playstation 2 with a Wii. Ninetendo it was lots of fun and even Kelli got to particapate. Aging meaning Shane bought it the first summer we were married and I was fighting fires. I will let everyone know what my other birthday present is next week. I...

What a week, to start we went to Multnomah to see Shane's school. He registered go his books and met fellow students. Kelli still has runny nose so we've kept her out of school all week, (good thing it's preschool), Daniel just today isn't feeling to well. So I've given him so Ibprofin to help drop his temp. Myself I had an oops yesterday, fell off the stool while reaching for some bleach up in my bathroom, stool tipped and I went down, slow motion slam into the bathtub rim. Sore back & stubborn says If still hurts til Monday I'll go in. It's been beautiful weather all week, so the kids have been outside, and I've been airing out the house. Dakota is walking quite a bit, got video of her catching me around the kitchen. Beautiful Sunday walk with our dear friends the Carters. Kelli enjoyed riding her bike, true Cowgirl got back on after it threw her off into some blackberries. Daniels form of rebellion instead of staying in bed! Loving on her puppy! H...

Poor Kelli Bug, we found something out this last weekend at her expense she is allergic to a medication. Thought we'd avoid Moxicillin when she had her sinus infection so put her on something different. Friday she started a little rash, Sat. half her body had the rash, Sunday the doctor and us figured 75 to 95 % of her body was covered in a rash. Today I'd say it gone back down to 25%. The doctor put her on prednisolone for the next couple days to help the rash go away, and we've been taking oatmeal baths, lots of neasporin, and oatmeal lotion. Movies too! I'm short on sleep, helping Kelli though the night with the intense itching. She has been such a trooper though this. Shane bless him, stayed home this morning so that I might sleep in. So that was our weekend fun, how was yours? Ah heated floors, for both Kelli & Daniel I forget how connected this blog can be to the world beyond my house, I'm glad that people who want to check up on Shane & I's life c...

Well here are the updates, Dakota's first birthday was Wednesday. We went over to Neva's & Jason's house, Chad, & Steve came over and we had Chilli and played a video game before taking the kids home for bedtime. We did sing Happy Birthday to Dakota throughout the day. Thursday we had Doctor appointments for Shane, Myself & Dakota. Shane took the day off so that we could go to those, and run some errands that we needed. She weighed 19 lbs, & 29 7/8 inches. She was healthly and got four shots. She was okay until she realized what was happening with the shots. Then last night we went to our friends the Carters and had dinner and Birthday cake. We even sang happy birthday. What great friends!! Yeah gifts from Grammie & Grandpa Dennis! (I can help Dad) Yummy Chocolate Cake! Precious Little Girl! Happy Birthday Aunt Misty & Happy Anniversery Uncle Wade & Aunt Anna!
