Getting better...

Madison seems to be getting better. No fever overnight or today yet and no vomiting since Wednesday. She seems to be in a better mood overall and has not been so clingy today. Willie and I are supposed to go on the Pontoon Poker Run on the lake tomorrow. Hopefully Madison remains healthy so my Mom can babysit as planned. Willie and I need a day out!

Madison is sick...again

Just when I started bragging that Madison had not been sick in awhile...she is sick again. She started with a fever this morning & it got worse (103.4) as the day went on. I took her to see the Dr this afternoon and she tested positive for the influenza virus. She has to be kept home from daycare for 7 days (we won't be starting the new daycare on Monday as scheduled - probably not until Tues or Wed). Willie and I got prescriptions for the same medicine as Madison to help keep us from getting sick too. Hopefully with the $150 I just spent at Walgreen's, she will start feeling better soon and be able to sleep tonight. She is miserable right now & just wants to cuddle with Daddy. Hopefully I'll have a better update tomorrow.

Madison is 14 months



This is what happens when you ask Madison where her belly is....










Playing with Daddy in their "fortress".

McArtor update

Madison had a check-up with the ENT and her tubes today. The obstruction that was there 3 months ago is gone. Tubes are there and everything looks perfect.

Her new favorite games are showing her belly & climbing on EVERYTHING! Willie has made a "fortress" out of a large cardboard box. She also likes taking her toys into the fortress & peeking out. We stopped for ice cream after her Dr appt today. She preferred to play with the rocks in the gravel parking lot instead of eating her cone. Maybe she won't have a sweet tooth like her mom!

Willie still has a kidney stone(s). It is slowly moving & is causing him a lot of pain. Now it's just a waiting game until they pass :(

Madison is changing daycare in August. Willie and I will be able to car-pool again. Less $ on gas & miles on our vehicles. The mint green commuter car has been running great, so we're planning on using that. No time for uploading pictures now, I need to go chase my little dare devil!

4th of July

Grandma Ulm babysat so Willie and I could enjoy a day on the lake with fireworks. The fireworks were postponed until Sunday, but we were able to enjoy a day on the lake Friday. Friday was the annual "Girls Day" on the lake, so the men who came waited on the ladies. It was a very relaxing day! I forgot to take a picture of Madison in her 4th of July outfit - I'll try to remember that this week!

Madison likes messy Mini-Ravioli!




Here is a cute picture of sleepy Madison with Daddy.
