Strep Throat Strikes Again
Yes, we have strep throat in our house again. Unfortunately this time WE ALL HAVE IT. We are thinking it may have spread so rapidly when the girls hopped in our bed the other night when they were both scared. I remember a lot of getting breathed on and coughed on. Yesterday Gracie complained of a sore throat and today Faith had her usual rash. This makes strep throat case #4 for Faith. Our last time around to the pediatriacan she reasured me that they wouldn't think about further action (taking her tonsils out) until after her 6th time. We are getting a little too close to that for me.
Aunt Clara
I found out the other day that my great aunt Clara died. Whe was the last sibling of my Grandpa to die. I have fun memories of visiting with her as a child. My impression of her when I was that age was how put together she looked. I'm sure she was older even back then, but she was so slender and poised. Her hair was done so nice and she was dressed so well. We were blessed to have been able to visit her the past two years when we went to Arizona. This picture is from our last visit. We had such a fun time hearing 'old' stories.
Home Improvements
Nick and I have tackeled some new improvements to the house this winter. Nothing major, but it really seems to make a difference to me.
We finally got blinds in our kitchen. This is something that should have been done long ago. If you have ever joined us for a meal you may have experienced our past dinning situation. If your back was to the window you were heated up to an unbearable temperature to the point of having to take off layers of clothing. I think the afternoon when Nick had to take his shirt off while eating lunch may have been the straw that broke the camel's back:) If you were on the other side of the table you were blinded by the sun and had to shift your chair so as to be able to see what you were eating. Although this did come in handy when trying to get the girls to eat new foods.
Our second change was getting the wood floor in the kitchen refinished. On this one we took the easy, but costly, way out and hired to have it done. I'm enjoying a shiny new looking floor, but I am also much more paranoid about spills and scraches on the floor.
The final addition is a new light above the kitchen table. The old one was a very dated golden fixture. I had never liked it and was happy to see it go.
