Suki stepped outside with PaPa during breakfast.
She loved this fountain in the yard with its lion heads.
Dad holds a surprisingly sleepy Kate. She was also surprisingly sick in this corner just moment later, we didn't know what to make of it because she seemed completely fine right afterward. I tell you, this is foreshadowing.
Grace stacks some napkin rings.
The girls dance in one of the front rooms.
Then it was off to the farm, where Suki enjoyed watching these chickens.
On one of the farm paths.
Then it was time to visit one of their favorite friends!
The little dog was so happy to see them.
Uncle David comes along to join this crowd.
Some sweet pictures of Kate trying to steal Uncle David's hat.
Sitting in the yard at the side of Uncle David's house.
Examining Granny's ring.
Dad and his girls.
On our farm walk. As you can see, Grace has only one shoe (she said her foot hurt and preferred to go without her croc). There was a considerable amount of crankiness on the walk, it as not our traditional fun time.
Three sisters.
Grace feeds Kate like a baby bird.
Grace feeds Suki.
Then Suki fed Kate.
And finally, Suki fed Grace like a baby bird. They enjoy the baby bird style quite a bit.
Dad and Kate.
Grace and Suki argue by the ditch/creek.
Granny and Kate.
Reading on Uncle David's porch.
I panicked when I went to wake Suki from her nap on our bed -- I couldn't find her anywhere in the partially darkened room. I finally found her sleeping here, blending in with the throw at the foot of the bed.
When Kate woke up from her nap, she'd spiked a fever over 102. As we took her temperature every fifteen minutes or so, it climbed rapidly. Once it tipped over 104, we knew we had to get her to the Emergency Room, so David packed her in the car.
We didn't know what was going on with our sweet girl, but just before dinner she was off for care.
And then, right before bed, Grace's fever started to climb. When it tipped over 102 just before bedtime and we still had no diagnosis for Kate, I decided to pack her into Grady's truck for a ride to the ER three hours after her sister went.
A very sleepy Kate is much perkier after a considerable amount of fever reducing medication.
Listening to the doctor.
A significantly happier Kate. Look at
this photo -- I couldn't believe it was the same gown from October 2007.
Oh, there were so many firsts here in the ER, many new tests were run that these girls had never heard of before. And in the end, the diagnosis was an unspecified virus, we were given medication to dampen Kate's nausea and were told about the course of fever reducers we should administer at home. We didn't leave until after 1 am and were so relieved to be home and in bed at 2. We were most relieved that our girls didn't have anything that required them to be admitted. Kate still has bruising five days later from where the nurses unsuccessfully tried to put in an IV but that was the extent of the long lasting effects.
