bummer...

It seems like every spring/summer we go through this. Emma gets a strange rash and we can't pin down what it's from. And... it's here again. And it's spreading. It started on her upper chest - along her collarbones, and has spread up on her face and down her arms and her upper back. Seriously, it drives me crazy. I can deal with a rash, but on her face... it makes me nervous. (it looks lots worse in person, but you get the idea. small bumps, lightly raised and red. keep in mind she has perfect, flawless smooth skin otherwise.)

I honestly think it's a mild sun reaction, but who knows. The doctor recommended Zyrtec, give it twelve hours to get better (or not) and if not, start her on Prednisone. Meanwhile, we are staying inside finding things to keep us busy. Like how much of your body can you fit in mommy's purse?

hello...

to the beach!

Savannah and her kids are visiting while they move and are at Mom & Dad's until they find housing, so we have been playing every day. Today: to the beach! Mom and Dad have a gravel pit on part of their property, and we went 'swimming' today. Mostly just wading, rock throwing, and a little kayaking, but it was a great day!

big river

We went to Jackson for Aunt Kate's birthday last night and the girls had a great time playing on this bridge while waiting for our dinner reservation. Macie kept singing "Big river! Big river!"

Sunday Dinner

We had Sunday dinner at Cavet & Angie's yesterday and it was so much fun! McCarty and Macie are just trouble together and they love it. McCarty helped Macie learn how to escape out the back door of the house and feed the horse, Willie. They took turns on the trike,(the only picture I got of McCarty smiling) I made Macie's dress and it is one of my favorites... except she thinks she needs to eat cheetos when she wears it... played 'race' with Grandma Jane and we all took turns drooling over the sweet baby Peyton.

We really had a great time!

teething

Macie has been teething and is super cranky. It is totally not like her, and it's been tough on all of us. Last night, she ended up in bed with us which never happens, but was too funny this morning not to snap a quick shot of how she slept. At least she was comfy!
