Kites and Sickness



Well the Easter weekend we had planned has been put on hold. Amelia got sick Thursday, not just a little cold, we're talking miserable sick. She had a fever that we couldn't get to go down, even after rounds of the Ibuprofen/Tylenol combo. Thursday night, I took her into the walk in clinic. Turns out Miss Amelia has the Coxsackie Virus, aka Hand, Foot and Mouth. Except she just has the mouth infection. Poor baby has blisters in her throat. We think she caught it at the Kite Festival last Saturday. So Easter will be a chill at home weekend, since she's extremely contagious. Hopefully Nathan and I can catch up on some sleep, the past two nights with Amelia have been horrible.

Speaking of the Kite Festival, it was really fun this year. Besides Amelia licking the school bus seat which is probably where she caught the virus, kites were able to fly this year. Last year there no wind, which made for a lame festival. The other fun part about it was Garrett, Melissa and Olivia Rasmussen were able to join us! It was awesome having them stay with us for a few days while on their way to Mesa, Az. Olivia and Amelia became fast friends and it was hilarious to watch them interact together.

We also had our family photo's done at FotoFly. They are the most amazing photography studio. For those who are curious, they're located in Draper. Loved them. I highly recommend them. And because you asked nicely here are a few to enjoy:

So sorry to hear how sick Miss Amelia has been. At least she has two special parents to love her back to health. Love the blog and love the pictures. Miss you guys and we LOVE our Dixie Fan Club!

Hey Steph. She is just a doll!
We are planning on going up through St. George so we can visit you. That way, we can stop in Albuquerque just to take a look around.

So expect us June 22nd or 23rd.

I'm excited to see the girls together. But a little apprehensive. Sarah has learned to be possesive and fight for her place. She says "No" "Don't" and many other things...so I'll work with her and try to teach her how to share to prepare to see Amelia...she's a firecracker. Sometimes I wonder if my last two got the wrong color of hair...
