Staph Infection

Sorry to disappoint...no pictures this time! I think this is the first time I've posted just text on her blog since she was born! Anyway, just thought I'd do an update on Brynn's health issues for the week. Her croup seems to be getting better. She is just coughing now, but not wheezing anymore. The last day of her steroids is tomorrow...just in time to start antibiotics for a staph infection! Remember the "raging diaper rash?" Well, that resulted in a staph infection in her diaper area. Poor 'lil thing. Hopefully this will all clear up soon.

I've gotten a few calls and e-mails from family members as a result of yesterday's post, so thanks for all your concern and support for Brynn! We do appreciate everyone thinking of her. I'm sure she'll be all better soon.

And she did get quite a few valentines today. So, I'm off to go raid the candy stash!

Also, if you are bored and really looking for some reading material, here is a short list of the germfest we encountered at the walk-in clinic tonight during our wait...

1. Musical Table/Toy. (Brynn has one at home and LOVES it. So, she immediately recognized this right away and tried to get over to it. Mean Mama wouldn't let her touch the germ-ridden thing, though. It didn't even look clean!)

2. They have a fish tank in the waiting area. Brynn also loves to watch the fish...and touch her hand to the glass; not unlike the 300 sick kids prior to her. :-P

3. Random girl with a cast on hobbled over to us with one of those freaky soft-quilled squishy balls (sorry, that's my best description) and tried to give it to me. It had a hair on it. Later I saw her put it in her mouth. Ack!

4. Same random girl hobbles over and pulls out Brynn's sippy cup from our diaper bag by the spout and proceeds to put her lips on it! Double ack!

5. She threw three toys on the floor.

Sorry; not to rag on medical facilities. We need them! It was just too many humorous germy encounters not to share. Thanks for humoring me.

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
