A hot little number


Emme and I got to spend the day together, unfortunately because she is sick and running a fever.  The daycare called me yesterday when I was already on my way to pick up; Emme had a fever and was fussy and uncomfortable.  She slept well last night and napped more than usual today.  I've only given her two doses of medication today when she seemed inconsolable, but she's pretty much running a fever otherwise.  I don't take her temperature as it's pretty easy to tell whether she's normal, a little warm, or really hot, and without other symptoms, even the level of really hot doesn't make me too worried.  I'm on fall break, which means I don't have classes or meetings today like I normally would.  The flip side is that I'd planned to spend the day getting ahead on work and instead spent the day basically holding and rocking the baby.  Not a bad way to spend the day, I think, but still.  She's staying home again tomorrow, and I'm hoping she'll feel enough better to sneak out for a few errands.  Really important things, like checking out the new Nordstrom's.

A pretty crappy day



Once upon a weekend

Breakfast at IHOP.
The Cracker Barrel was too long of a wait :(
Helping at Lowe's.
Emme carrying the basketball to the park.
(She's really worried about this year's
NBA season being cancelled.)
So happy -- and pink!
On the Shelby Avenue Pedestrian Bridge
(Note: I did not approve the sock/shoes combo.)
Bundled for the cool weather.
