Cousins :)

Libbie and Lyla got to hang out with Gma over the weekend while their parents watched the Sioux play hockey. Libbie is obsessed with poor Lyla! :)

Forgot all about this blog!

I just received some forwarded messages from my old Alerus email account. (five months after I left). There was some from blogspot.com that reminded me of this blog. It took some tries to get into it, but here I am!

Libbie and I are up at 12:21 in the morning! We are having a tough week. Grandma Jean (Curt's grandma on his mother's side) passed away last Monday. Libbie is at the age that she is starting to understand that we won't see Grandma Jean again. She was pretty close to her. The funeral was yesterday (Friday). We just keep reading her the book about heaven and answering her questions as best as possible. Curt has a really hard time with her questions :(

Something is going on with this child. She has a sinus infection or something??? The entire right side of her face is swollen up and her teeth are killing her. I am told that is typical of a sinus infection, but I have never had those symptoms myself. I will just roll with it!
I sure hope it isn't serious, since she has been around cousin Lyla alot the past two days. Wouldn't want to get that little cutie sick!!

Well, I am gonna try to get her back to bed. Curt should be home soon ( I hope) from a wedding dance uptown. He is with my brother Ben, so I am not holding my breath.....

Wonder if anyone will actually read this...... since I haven't updated for THREE years :-)

Another trip to Urgent Care

When I picked Libbie up from daycare on Tuesday afternoon, I knew it was not going to be a good night. Usually she is having a really good time when I pick her up, but when I got there Tuesday, she was sitting on the floor crying because she couldn't get her sock back on. When she saw me, the tears really started to flow. She wouldn't even help put her coat on. She didn't want to be put down. She was cranky all night and I was happy to put her to bed at 8 pm. By 9, she was in my bed cuddling with me. We let her sleep in our bed, but she didn't sleep much. She had a fever that hovered between 102-103. She was begging me to take her to the doctor to get her medicine. I would have taken her to the ER, but the roads were really bad with that snow/rain mix we had gotten.
In the morning, I got up at 6 and got ready for work. I am filling in for Northwood, so I HAD to go to work. The problem was that Curt had to go to work too. We compromised on me working the morning and him the afternoon. I called the supervisor of Northwood and she was so thankful that I was at least going in to open. I worked until my replacement from Grand Forks got there, at about 10 am. Then I went back to Larimore, scooped up Libbie and we headed to GF. Libbie's doctor was out sick, so we had to go to Urgent Care. Libbie had a pretty high fever, so we got moved ahead of a few patients. We got back to Urgent Care after about a 20 minute wait. We waited in the exam room for about an hour. Libbie crying the whole time!! The doctor came in and examined her. She decided to take blood, since Libbie has all the tummy problems all the time. She was also concerned about the high fever. Once they tried to take it though, they realized how dehydrated she was. Words were thrown around about an IV. I wasn't crazy about the idea, so we got her juice and water and got her to drink. We spent about a total of 3 hours in Urgent Care. Then we were sent on our merry way to get her antibiotics and ear drops. We got her some juice at Hugos (Dom's favorite). She got her lunch at McDonalds at about 1:30 (she was starving!!)
On the way home, we stopped to see her daddy. (my car was making funny noises) Then we had to stop at Everson's. As we drove by she kept yelling that she needed to show Grandma her ears!! So we stopped there. By the time we got home everyone was exhausted! She layed on the couch and watched tv. She got some pizza for supper and got to go visit her Grandpa Jeff. She went to daycare this morning and hopefully she makes it all day!!

Pictures from daycare

These photos are from Tanya Wentz, Libbie's daycare provider. She emailed them to me at work and I coulnd't resist posting them. It is interesting how she poses for all of them.

Lib is doing very well. She is doing very well with potty training and goes most nights without wetting her bed. Currently, she has a cold, which is making her a little cranky. Hope it goes away soon. Her daddy is taking her(and her mother) to Minneapolis. She is excited to see the fishies at underwater world. We are going to stay in a hotel with a big water park too! I am in it to go to IKEA!!

Not a good blogger

So... I know I havn't updated for two months. I've been busy!! I got a new postion with Alerus Financial and have been learning my new role. I also have still been working for Altru part time doing SK marketing. I will try to post some new pics tonight. No promises...

Merry Christmas!!

Libbie celebrated Christmas a little early on the McDonald side of the family. My sister-in-law, Steph and her boyfriend Chris were home this past weekend. We had Christmas dinner on Sunday night and opened presents afterward. Libbie got a little confused in all the commotion. Uncle Rick just kept tossing presents out at her, so she would stop unwrapping what she was working on and go onto another present. She wasn't looking at what she got either. She just kept opening. She is excited to play with all her new toys now though. She got a lot of loot!!
From Rick & Julie: a singing teddy bear
From Steph, Chris & Liz: a coffee set (this will probably be her favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!)
From Grandma & Grandpa McDonald: a doctor's kit and a cash register
From Grandma Jean: a Barbie

I think that is everything that she got. If I forgot anything, Sorry!!!!!

I will post some pictures from this weekend when I get a chance. We are celebrating xmas with my family tomorrow. More stuff for Libbie to play with...... i hope she gets some 4T clothes....She is too long for her three T clothes already. She is tall just like uncle ben and grandpa Jeff. Its a Capp thing! :)
