Lost

I lost my memory card that I use in my good camera.  I think I have also lost my memory.  I took the memory card out of my camera so I download all of the fun pictures I took in Houston last week.  I shot most of them in RAW, so I knew they would be huge files to download.  I also knew that my laptop is going soooooo sllloooowww because of all of the pictures I have on it.  So I had the brilliant idea to move most of my picture files to an external hard drive.  I plugged the laptop into the hard drive and began moving files.  When I went to grab the memory card so I could download the new pictures to my computer, I couldn't find it.  I have looked all over the living room, and I cannot find it.  Hoping I find it soon!!

On the bright side, I am now downloading a month's worth of pictures from the memory card in my other camera.  I guess it's time to get some of them posted. :)

Sick Baby Girl

This is what a sick little girl looks like.  Danielle started acting sick Saturday morning.  She had a runny nose, lots of drainage, and a cough.  She threw up in her bed Saturday during her nap.  After a nasty diaper Sunday morning, I thought it was a stomach virus.  She was pretty irritable Sunday evening, but she slept all night Sunday night.  She seemed ok on Monday morning, so off to the sitter she went.  When I picked her up Monday afternoon, she was playing in the backyard.  While in the car on the way home, she had a terrible coughing fit that caused her to throw up.  Looking back, I don't think it was a stomach virus - I think that she has a horrible gag reflex (like her Mommy - it's even documented in the paperwork from the Scott & White ER when they were testing for all sorts of things that could have been causing me to be so sick) that causes her to throw up when she coughs too much or too hard.  It's been an interesting few days with a little girl who just wants to be held, doesn't want to eat, and is just pretty miserable.  Thank goodness she has so many clothes because she's had at least 6 baths in the past 3 days.

I'm thankful that this is the first time Danielle has been sick with something that has lasted over 24 hours.  Peter was sick all the time when he was a baby, so Danielle being so healthy has been such a blessing.  In fact, Peter was sick at the exact same age as Danielle is now - I guess Hazen babies don't do well at 16 months!!

Thankfully she is sleeping in her bed even though she doesn't feel well.  She wakes herself up coughing, but she is awesome at putting herself back to sleep.  I even gave her a pillow in her crib to keep her head elevated.  She loves having a soft pillow like a big girl!! 

Feel better soon sweet girl!!

Because He Lives!!

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus

He came to love, heal, and forgive.

He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

 

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.

 

Because He lives, All fear is gone.

Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living just because

He lives!

Girl Time

It's often difficult to get one-on-one time with each of the kids, but Danielle and I managed a little "girl time" recently on a trip to Target.  I needed more cardstock for the labels I was printing for a consignment sale.  Peter was still napping, so Danielle and I headed out by ourselves. One of the nice things about Andrew being out of work is that I can leave one kid at home while running errands with the other.  Danielle was totally content to just sit in the cart as we walked around.  I found the paper I needed, and then I was actually able to leisurely look at various things in the store as we made our way to pay for it.  Before leaving, we stopped by the snack area for a popcorn treat.  Danielle was so excited to sit on the bench like a "big girl" and enjoy her snack without having to worry about her brother getting involved. 

  

Peter Said...

Peter was talking to Homer (our dog) as they both went outside to play this evening . . .

Peter:  Homer - Watch out for the sew fish.  Don't get too close to it or it will sew you.

Mommy:  Peter, where did you learn about that?

Peter:  I didn't.  I just made it up.  If you have a rip in something, you need a sew fish.  I don't want Homer to step on it because he will get sewed. 

Mommy:  Ok, I'll remember that.  Thanks.

Love his imagination!!!

Sneak Preview . . .

What happens when you take four kids ages 4, 3, almost 2, and 14 months to the park at 8:30 in the morning?

More pictures to come once I learn how to edit RAW files using Photoshop Elements!! :)
