A mild case of the Chicken Pox

I received a phone call from Grammy Pam the morning of Tuesday, July 8th, informing me that Kristian had a couple of bumps (pimple looking) on her bottom before she went to bed the night before and now she has more on her bottom, one on her tummy and one on her leg. I immediately called her doctors office because there had been a little boy at daycare that had chicken pox back around June 9th. When we found out about the little boy at daycare I called her doctors office and was told that the incubation period for chicken pox is 2 weeks, well I guess Kristian proved them wrong. I met my mother-in-law at the doctors office @ 1:15 p.m. We were a little shocked that they weren't treating Kristian as a highly contagious patient. We waited in the waiting room, then was called back to a room. When the doctor looked at the bumps she said she was 95% sure Kristian had chicken pox. She described the bumps as "dew drop on a rose petal." She asked me if Kristian had her vaccine for chicken pox (varicella) and I told her yes. We were asking Kristian is she was itchy, sick, etc. and she answered no to all the questions. The only symptoms Kristian has was the bumps. She didn't even itch.....praise the Lord!! The doctor suggestion Kristian stay home until the bumps were completely gone. Kristian loved that because her and I stayed home the rest of Tuesday and all of Wednesday, then she was off to Grammy & Papa's until Friday :)
My baby's bottom :(
one on her tummy
All in all Kristian was a great sport. She never once complained about not feeling well.

Celebrating Independence Day 2008

Independence Day 2008 was a blast. This year we had a BBQ at our house with 2 other neighbors. I love our neighbors. There is nothing better than hanging out and having fun with the people you live by!! Everyone started coming over to our house around 4:30 p.m. before that, Kathy, Jonah, & Noah showed up. I walked into Kristian's toy room to this.......

time for Brad and Kathy to play toss....

Greg had a little much to drink. He must have thought my grass in the backyard was confortable :) We heard the dogs barking and wondered what they were barking at so I went to the backyard and sure enough, they were barking at Greg. I picked up Divot and put her next to Greg so she could smell him, right after that she was trying to bury her head by his. It was the funniest thing.
