I just remembered something Lanie said the other day that really made me laugh. We went to her doctor for a visit and they wanted to collect a urine sample. Since getting her to pee in a cup isn’t really possible, they put a urine collection bag on her and we sat there waiting to see if she would produce a sample. She wasn’t really happy about it and kept asking me, “Why is there a bandaid on my butt!?!” I could not keep from laughing!
Lately the posts I have made have just been things happening at the moment and I haven’t really kept up with things we have been doing, so I thought I would do one post to catch up the past several months.
October 2006 – Lanie went to the Texas State Fair this year with Mommy, Papa King, and Mormor. Daddy had to work and couldn’t make it this year. Later in the month, we went to visit a local pumpkin patch with our friends, the Harrells (Cherly, Chris and Rachel). Lanie had a blast seeing all of the pumpkins and riding in the wagon. At the end of the month, we had a visit from Papa Pat, and celebrated Halloween with him here. Lanie was the Little Mermaid for Halloween, and she went trick or treating with her friend Rachel, who was Cinderella. A lot of candy was received and quickly hidden and is still being rationed out now in February!
November 2006 – This was a pretty quiet month for us. We celebrated Thanksgiving in our new home with Mormor, Papa, and Kikishell.
December 2006 – Always a busy time with the holidays, this month was no different. Early in the month we had a brief but wonderful visit with our friends Rylee and Cassy who were visiting from Kuwait. It was nice to see them again, even if for just a short time. We celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in our new home. Lanie was on major sensory overload when she was opening presents on Christmas Eve, so we held some over to be opened on Christmas Day along with all of the presents she got from Santa! If you look at the pictures, you can see that Lanie had a very bountiful Christmas!
January 2007 – We took a fun family trip with the Harrells to Taos New Mexico. We had a great time snowmobiling and playing in the snow. Lanie loved the snow and still asks if she can go play in the snow. There are some great pictures from the trip, including some of Lanie asleep on the snowmobile! Later in the month, I took Lanie to the Stock Show with the Harrells. She went on her first pony ride! She loved it, and loved seeing the animals and riding the rides. We will definitely have to make visits to the snow and stock show annual events!
February 2007 – As you can tell from the previous post, much of this month has been spent dealing with Lanie being sick. Hopefully, she will get through it soon and we can get back to doing all kinds of fun things with her!
That’s at least a brief overview of what we have been up to, and I will be working on getting the rest of the pictures up so you can see it all too!
Lanie has been under the weather the past couple weeks. Two weeks ago, she was running fever and coughing, then last week she was diagnosed with ear infections, and then this past weekend has had a bad stomach virus. So we have had two visits to her doctor and two visits to Urgent Care in the past two weeks. Right now, she seems to be doing better and, hopefully, will be fever free today and well enough to go to Sarah’s tomorrow. There is nothing worse than when Lanie is sick and I feel so powerless to help her feel better.
