One of the best parts about living closer to family is getting to visit with my Florida cousins in the summer. Summer loved playing with her big girl cousins!
This trip she quickly got attached to sweet Ella Katherine.
She wanted to GO and DO whatever Ella was doing.
Playing in the sun wears a girl out! Interestingly, she decided to sleep horizontal in the crib.
I'm proud to say that I come from a crafty family. One of the stars below costs $40 and one of them was made for about $4. Can you guess which one? You can place your orders in the comment box.
Mimi, Summer and I spend lots of quality time together. We love our girls' trip.
However this pumpkin sure was happy to see her Daddy and give him a big hug.
Summer's second year of life has come with a fair share of double ear infections (7 or 8 to be exact). So I was actually relieved that she was diagnosed with an ear infection before our big birthday/Florida road trip. That way she was on antibiotics and surely I wouldn't have to worry about her getting sick. Ummmm, not the case...she developed a rash the day we left for Florida (more like the first 45 minutes of the drive) and we turned around to go to a Dr. in B'ham. You see, last year's Florida trip was cut short because of Summer's first ear infection and we didn't want to go down there with a risk of sickness. After getting a second dose of antibiotics and a good nights rest we were back on the road early the next morning. The weekend passes and about the time that she saw Daddy (in the picture above) she started to cough. The cough was more of a hack than a congested one and that night she was having labored breathing. We have a nebulizer from when she had RSV 3 months ago and I had it with me. We were up multiple times in the night with a fever and more breathing treatments. The next morning I called the Dr. and we drove straight there from Chad's parents house (2 hrs away). Turns out she was having asthma-like symptoms. It has been a draining week but I think I have kept an upbeat attitude and not lost it (thanks to afternoon coffee).
In this photo, Summer is about to go to the Dr. for a check-up. Just because you feel crummy doesn't mean you have to look it!

The Star on the left cost $40 and the one on the right cost $4. Hardly a $36 difference!!
