Happy Birthday Aunt Katherine

Happy birthday to Katherine,
Happy Birthday to Katherine,
Happy Birthday to K-a-th-er-ine.
Happy Birthday to you.
(And many more on channe.......I won't Continue)

So it is Katherine's birthday and i have no idea what to get her. Yes that was a confession of sorts. BUT! I have been thinking about it non stop. Seriously what do you get someone who is interested in going to Divinity School.

YES! I said it.

Katherine you are weird. What are you really going to do at divinity school. Wander around and prove that everyone else is wrong? I know that you would never do that, but really what can you do with a degree from divinity school. Teach? note the question above. Ok so that was a little harsh but what do you expect someone to think when you say I want to go to divinity school.

Wow! glad to get that monkey off my back. I'm not too concerned. I doubt she will ever read this. I doubt she has ever read this. Sad! Suddenly don't feel so inclined to get a gift. I must! what would people think? I should get her something crappy. Like UVSC apparel. hee hee hee. Something totally use less and something she would absolutely despise and might just throw away the minute I am gone. All of a sudden a bunch of crap gift ideas come to mind.

Happy birthday Katherine! Happy Birthday indeed! :)

I guess i should say something about Audrey. The little one is doing great. She now as 3 teeth. Two that are just coming in and the first that has been here forever. The poor thing she has been in such pain all month. Orajel is a life saver. Oh, how she hates that nasty bubble gum taste. (Seriously why bubble gum, Babies have no idea what bubble gum tastes like.) But once i put the stuff on she is such a happy camper. You would think that she would know by now that the little white tube is pain reliever.

For the past few days Audrey has been on amoxicillin for an ear infection. The medicine has a very sweet taste and Audrey loves it. The minute i pull that bottle out of the fridge she knows what it is and that she is getting sweet stuff. I believe she thinks it is candy. You would think that if she could relate to a bottle in 5 days that she would understand the tube in a month. Poor thing i think she is confused. We have a smart one.

Just kidding. Audrey really is a smart and good little thing. It is so entertaining to watch her and see what new things she is discovering. Sad that she has a memory of a gold fish. And i mean that in the nicest way possible.

It looks like she is about to grasp the concept of standing. She will do it when she is playing with something and is not aware of what she is doing with her body. But the second that she realizes she is standing the fear kicks in and she falls to the floor. At least she has a nice cushy diaper that cushions the fall.

anyways I do not want to bore you any longer with my rants and raves.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey.

Battle Wound

Audrey officially has a battle wound. She was playing with daddy on the counter at grandmas and slipped and cracked her chin on a drinking glass. Thank goodness the glass didn't break. But it did leave a rather nasty mark. Her chin is bruised and cut. It wasn't deep enough to get stitches. It stopped bleeding in a few minutes but she did let us know how much pain she was in for a while. It think it took about 5-10 minutes to calm the little thing down. But she is doing fine and it doesn't seem to be bothering her any longer. I'll try and get a picture of it. (I still am trying to get a good one of the tooth, it looks like another one is coming in.)

Loves
Elizabeth, Patrick, and battle wound audrey.

Blessing. Another One?

Yesterday Patrick had the opportunity to bless his niece Cozy. It was a wonderful blessing. I think that Patrick did an amazing job. I know that he was really really nervous about the blessing and thought about it for a long time. He put a lot of effort into it and i am proud that he was so willing to do such an amazing thing for his niece. Andy, Gretchen and the boys were there. It was nice to see them. We just wish that brice and lindsey would have been able to come. It would have been fun to see everyone. hopefully they can come up soon. Anyways that is all that i have for the day.

Love ya
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

Halloween

Poor Audrey!

Halloween was not the most exciting thing for her. Actually the entire week has not been the best for her. It all started on Sunday night. She was being a grump and we just thought it was teething so patrick had to run to the store and get orajel because we could not find the one we already had (still can't find it by the way). on monday and tuesday the poor little thing had a fever between 100-102 off and on. And then on wednesday (Halloween patrick clocked her fever at 103) We decided that we needed to take her to the doctor. (Yes, We should have done it earlier but since the fever was on and off we figured it was related to teething.) At the doctors office the nurse had a reading of 105. Dr. Wynn gave found that the poor little one had an ear infection and was close to pneumonia. I guess there her chest should make a certain noise when she breaths but he couldn't hear it. He told us to watch her and see if the symptoms continue. If they remained we needed to take her back on Friday(today). Patrick left with a bunch of tylenol and a prescription for her ear.

I am happy to report that the little one is doing great. The fever went away that evening and the little one is happily taking her medication for the ear infection. I think she actually likes the medication. It has a sweet taste to it.



Anyways that is how we spent audreys first halloween. At the doctors with a 105 fever. I just happy that she didn't have pneumonia and that she didn't have to be hospitalized. (yes, that is a thought that went through my mind that day)

We were going to go to Karen for the holiday and knock on a few doors with her cousin cozy. Audrey will just have to wait till sunday to see her cousins when cozy gets blessed.

Hope to hear from everyone soon.

Loves,
Elizabeth, Patrick, and Audrey
