Ella gets sick
Ella has been sick for a little over a week. It started at daycare as most of her illness' likely will. I was called at work and told that Ella's eyes were looking goopy and that I should take her to the doctor's office.
I did that night when i got off of work. I figured it was pink eye because the daycare had posted a letter to the parents of some recent cases. However, the doctor said that although her eyes were very goopy, they were not red so it was probably NOT pink eye.
Well, all that weekend we cared for her eyes by keeping them clean and goop-free. Over the following days, while she was at her grandma's she seemed to be getting better but by the end of the week she got a cold.
Ella has been having a tough time at night with breathing through her stuffy nose. She has also been coughing a lot. I am hoping she is better soon. Hoping we all get better soon since Carl and I are also exhibiting the same symptoms as Ella.
Overall, although Ella is sick she is still in a good mood most of the time. She is a trooper. She even got her 4 month shots the other day. That night she actually had a slight fever but she has been doing great since.
abe gets married
Abe got married June 27, 2009 to Catherine Basila just south of Denver. Carl, Ella, and I had to take a long 12 hour drive out to be with the family for the weekend. It was busy as all Medina gatherings are. We got rained out on the first night when we were going to gather at the park for a picnic/bbq but Catherine's brother opened his home to everyone and we partied in his basement. The day before the wedding most of us went to the zoo to entertain the kids. Ella wasn't too impressed but we learned that Elephants can't jump. The night before the wedding we all had dinner at Buca De Beppo. What a good dinner that was. On the wedding day we didn't have much to do until we were supposed to meet for photos. The wedding was held in a garden. It was beautiful. Abe and catherine exchanged vows before the family with a pond in the background. Catherine's brother actually did the wedding. Cocktail hour followed the ceremony and then dinner. there was a photo booth and a candy bar that gave the wedding a festive/young feel. Because of Ella, Carl and i couldn't stay as late as we would have in the past and we didn't get too rowdy but the wedding weekend was a great chance to show-off Ella to the boys and their families and to my dad.
