Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Someone gave Abbey a Lions cheerleading outfit, which I don't think she's worn before. Good thing the Lions play on Thanksgiving, because it was tight enough that I don't think she can wear it again! Sadly, her cheers did not help the Lions, who lost to the Titans 47-10.

First big trip with Abigail

Last weekend we took a trip down to Tennessee, to see our friends the McCuistons. Thankfully Abbey had recovered from her allergies and was feeling good, so she traveled well and warmed up to them quickly (they were good to give her time). We were sad to leave, and wish they could see her more often.

Debbie took her outside today, to play in the leaves and get some Vitamin D.

A Pox on Abbey

It actually got much worse before it got better: her back was almost solid red with the rash for awhile. Two days/nights of no sleep for anybody (I think Striker dozed), although oddly she usually felt better during the day. Unfortunately, the doctor said there's nothing to do but wait for the drugs to work their way out of her system. She was so itchy and uncomfortable!

Daddy's Shoulders

She loves riding on my shoulders, and I think it's much more comfortable than carrying her in my arms.

This was taken just as she was getting over the triple-whammy of cold, tooth, and ear infection, and just before she demonstrated an allergic reaction to Amoxycillin. So the smile isn't destined to last long.
