Pumpkin patch 2011

Greetings all! Been another busy couple of weeks here. This week started off with Acute care with Emma. Last weekend, she started coughing quite hard. By Monday, she ended up throwing up due to the cough. So, Harper, Emma & I loaded up for Acute care (Eric had poker). We were in the clinic from 7 until 8:45. They ended up doing chest xrays & labs. Luckily, her lungs were clear. We got home around 9:15 with a rented nebulizer for a month, some steroid and one other form of meds that she took all week! That nebulizer is quite the experience, for a mom who's been blessed without ever doing it before! Due to Eric's cough lately, he's even done it. And I even made Bethany do it one time when she was here!

Yesterday, we were very busy. We started the day at the Apple Orchard picking our annual pumpkins:

Since it'd been a few years since Emma rode the pony, each girl took a turn. They both enjoyed themselves.


This is one of Emma's picks



This is us on the way out to pick the pumpkins. Harper enjoyed the horses that were pulling our "cart"

After picking our pumpkins, the girls were kind enough to pose for a few pictures in the staging area. I think I got a few good ones!


Earlier in the week, Harper refused to eat anything for supper. So, I asked her if she wanted a peanut butter sandwich. Be careful what you ask! She doesn't eat it like a sandwich. She likes to pick the p/b off the sandwich:(

Here is Emma with the nebulizer!

This weekend was parents weekend at Augie. After picking pumpkins, Eric took Harper home & Emma and I met my parents to watch the Augustana Vikings kill the Concordia Golden Bears. It was a great game & a gorgeous day!!

We all went out to dinner afterwards. My folks end up staying here (and watching the kids when we went to a co-workers for a bit!).

Today, we went to breakfast & then I had a bridal shower. No wonder I'm always so tired:) Very little down time.

We are so blessed with our family! Thank you all for being part of it!
Have a great week!
