To go or not to go

On Friday, Emma decided to run 103 fever and lay around all day. I decided to see what would happen when she woke up Saturday and then look at taking her to the doctor if it didn't get better. Well, she was bouncing off the walls Saturday so no go on the doctor. Then after dinner, Emma's 103 fever decided to make a visit back. We cooled her off in the tub by letting her watch a Dora movie on the laptop. By the way, at this point Mike and I decided that since she doesn't really have any other symptoms and this temperature keeps coming back that we will take her to Direct Care Sunday morning. As we were getting her dressed for bed she was singing and having a great time. Hardly could tell that she had a fever!

Sunday, she woke up in the best mood and was playing around having a great time with NO FEVER!. In fact, the words out of her mouth were "I'm not sick anymore." So, I started second guessing my decision to take her to the doctor. Off we go looking funny bringing this happy little girl into the clinic who wants to play with everything in the waiting room. Come to find out, Emma has an ear infection!

While we were spending hours at Direct Care & Walgreens, Mike was off on a bike ride. He went over 70 miles! Those you who know anything about the Tyler area, he biked from South Tyler to just a few miles north of Palestine! When he finished his ride it was already 95 outside! It was so hot that he now has a dime size burn on the top of his feet! There was a small opening where the velcro on his shoes and the light found its way in!!! CRAZY!

Cousins Visit

In the past two weeks Emma has seen all of her cousins!! We went down to Katy for Drew's first birthday. Mike also did a tri while we were down there. Then Josh came up to Tyler with Nanny & Papa this past weekend. Emma and Josh were treated to Build-A-Bear by Nanny & Papa. Josh and Emma had a great time swimming in the pool in the backyard and getting to go to the science museum with Papa.

Then Aunt Jodie and Carter came in for a few days. Carter got to go swimming and play in the sand box. Emma had a great time being a "Big Cousin" to Carter!

We had a great time getting to visit with everyone.

I thought that I would get with the times and start a blog so everyone can see what we are up to.
