Cough Syrup is Goooooood....

We are all recovering, but we are all still sick. We had to take Augi back to the doc because at the end of her antibiotic, she was still rashy and sick. They said the antibiotic wasn't strong enough, she still has a strep infection, so now she is on the next level of antibiotic. We are so incredibly sleep deprived. TTYL.

Scarlet Fever?

What the *@#?
I thought scarlet fever was something little women and boys with velveteen rabbits died from. I thought it was long gone with the advent of hand sanitizer or clean drinking water or something. Well, Augi has it. She is starting to feel better on her antibiotic. We have had lots of long days and restless nights. Hopefully she will be fully recovered by the end of the weekend.

It's the Underpants Gnome!!!

This is a rare shot of an Underpants Gnome at work in Chris' underwear drawer. We had to sneak up on it to get the picture. You should have seen it run when it spotted us!! For those of you who don't watch SouthPark, we are sad for you. You won't get this at all.

Welcome to 2007

This picture is a little delayed...but, it's still cute. She is so stinkin' adorable. She can do matching puzzles and she pretends to write our names. At dinner tonight she was pretending her lettuce was a bunny, hopping along the tray. She is so bossy with her daddy. He loves it. Today she was very concerned because we took Nanny to the vet and groomer. She loves her Nanny. I had a big scare on Wednesday--Augi fell and hit her head at the store. She then threw up. She was fine in the end--probably just made herself vomit by crying so hard. I think I am much more traumatized by the whole event. We are going shopping for a helmet this weekend and she will be required to wear it at all times.
Anyway, we would like to send out a little note for our Elmie Family Friends--Elmie was a sweetie and you gave him a great life.
