Today we started Emily on solid foods, she loves it but later that day poor James went to the ER since he woke up with a 104 fever. It was a horrible night for James.

More visiting with Susie, Aaron and Joshua before they moved on to the next stop in their visit to Illinois. Joshua is so cute! We had lots of fun with him.

These are refills that I just got for Aunt Mary Lou. Why does the pharmacy use such huge bottles for so few pills?

Lots going on at our house today.

The driveway got poured first thing in the morning. Dylan and Fred painted (until the rain came and washed it away). Look at our beautiful freshly poured driveway. And, Susie (Eric's little sister), Aaron and baby Joshua came to visit from Colorado.

We went to Children's Memorial today to participate in an allergy research study. One of the things that we did was get allergy skin tests. We were hoping... But, he's still allergic to milk. The top reaction on the right is the 'control' of histamine. The third one down on the right is where they exposed his skin to milk.

Happy Birthday, Miranda!! I made Miranda an Oreo shaped cake for her birthday. It didn't come out of the pan very well (this is the nice side of the cake, the other side didn't look so good)

Jim & the kids planted some of our sunflower seedlings tonight

We were at Miranda and Joe's on Tues night, watching the Cubs, when Brooks and Joe decided they could hear the crowd's comments clearly with the surround sound speakers. Well, Joe needed to get as close as possible for a better listen...

I should have folded that 3rd load of laundry from Sunday cause now Mischief made a comfy bed out of it.

Miranda May 18, 2010

I know it's my birthday and I got lots of very nice stuff! But, I was SO excited to catch the critter who has been ruining our landscape!

It's hard to see but this is a whole that a chipmunk is making near our window well. I put out a trap today to catch him - and then place him elsewhere so he will stop making holes in our yard!
