On the mend

Last week we had the privilege of having Pappaw, Nana, and Aunt Kimberly come see us. Unfortunately, while they were here Grace got very sick with what the doctor called bad bronchitis/early-stage pneumonia. So, as a reward for traveling all the way across Texas they got the chance to spend quite a bit of time with a sick, puny, cranky toddler. Thankfully, they are family and have to put up with us anyway. :) But there was a little time for fun bubble-blowing before Grace got sick... And while she was on the mend, Aunt Kimberly was kind enough to crawl around with Grace on the floor and pretend to be various animals. One of Grace's favorite things to do these days is to hide, and to make people hide WITH her. She doesn't necessarily want to be found, just hide. So, we played along with her game. Some days, even when Kevin is gone, Grace and I hide under the covers and have nice, lengthy conversations. She doesn't seem to mind that no one is really looking for her. (Oops, these pictures are a little out of order but you get the idea!) And here's Grace getting a breathing treatment with her new favorite toy, the nebulizer. We are thankful to have this machine when we head back to East Asia for any future breathing incidents! It's a scary thing when your kid can't breathe well in the middle of the night!

I have missed reading your blog. Traveling... I am sorry Grace has been sick, but you will be thankful for the nebulizer! We had one that traveled with us for man many years...thankfully we have outgrown it. Looks like you are still having a good time with family!!! Miss you!

Hiding under a blanket is all fun and games until someone passes gas.

I am so sorry about Grace getting sick. We completely understand. We had to put Claire on a breathing thing as well. I think the scariest part is when your child gets really pail from not being able to breath well. However, Claire did not get a cool pink car one like Grace's.
