Claire is sick

Sunday morning I woke up to Claire crying for me. She was so hot with fever, and couldn't catch her breath. I put her on the nebulizer, but it didn't help. My mom instinct was worried, and said you need to take her to the hospital. I still have anxiety over taking her in after the last ER nurse told me during an asthma attack that maybe I should have waited to see if the meds kicked in. But when we got there her heart rate was SO high and her fever was over 103. We were there for over 4 hours trying to get her to have the fever come down.

We are still sick today. Not much change in the fever. Some bubbles did make the cool bath more fun. I love bubble snakes

Last day of the pool

Back to School

Summer was too short. I was teaching a lot of art camps, and it felt that there was never a real break to stop and enjoy summer. I think that was the hardest part for back to school for me. The second hardest part was sending the littlest off to full day Pre-K. I know she is ready, but the letting go isn't easy.

26 July

We have hit that point in summer vacation..

A very neat hands on art exhibit at the Art Center. Emma made a fish.

Her World

Her world is still full of joy, and simple pleasures. A quiet bed is her carriage to wonderland.

Concert in the park

A few years ago we started going to the weekly concerts in the park. It is such a fun summer tradition, and it is free!

The girls love dancing, and even get some special attention by the performers.

Emma wasn't very sure what to think about her chair being occupied by Rick K.
