Emma Accessorized Gavin!

Friends of our parents went on a cruise and then spent two days in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

They brought back beads for Emma!

Em decided I looked good in beads and high heals...for some reason Dad didn't concur. ;-)

Langdon, Alberta

My community is on Wikipedia!

While trying to find soccer registration information for me on the internet, Mom stumbled upon our community on Wikipedia - Langdon, Alberta is famous!

I wonder how many people know why its called the 'Good Luck Town'?

Read all about where I live here.

Enchanted Learning

Enchanted Learning is a great fun, educational site for kids, from toddlers on up!

Today Mom and I printed out the Paper Bag Puppet craft activity, and tomorrow we'll print out something else. There are so many great things, I wanted to print out everything today! But Mom said 'We'll print out one a day'. Oh well, I guess that'll do... ;-)

I'll get Mom to take a picture of the finished product and we'll post it here!

You can pay for a subscription to the site ($24 CDN) or you can print from the banner-ed pages. Either way, Enchanted Learning is my new favourite site!

Have fun,
Emma.

Valentine

Just a quick 'Happy LOVE Day!' to all our readers!

Emma and Gavin.

We Are Sick

Both Gavin and I are sick and have been for awhile now, hence the no posting on our blog.

I have an upper respiratory infection and an ear infection, and therefore am on my first bit of antibiotics EVER. It tastes YuCkY!

Gavin has bronchitis, poor little guy, and is on his first bit of antibiotics too. His medicine tastes better I think, first of all its pink, and second of all he sucks it back like there's no tomorrow. Lucky Duck!

But we're both getting better now, it took a couple of days for the antibiotics to kick in, but now that they have, we're both feeling better. Not crying as much, eating better, and much to Mom's happiness, we're sleeping through the night again.

In was a tough go for a bit, but all is well again!

A Sick Child

This past Saturday was the first time Emma has ever vomited. It was surely scary for her, not to mention for me.

She had a 'Norwalk-like' virus and was sick to her stomache for five days, and on Wednesday woke up with a head/chest cold, and still has a terrible cough and a runny nose. No fun!

Dehydration is a big concern, especially in one so tiny.

Knowing the signs and symptoms of dehydration, as well as the preventative measures can save your child and you from the ordeal of an IV.
