It's Been a Weird Week

Last weekend, Faith seemed to be struggling with a cold. On Sunday morning, I thought she had slept it off, but unfortunately, it hit full force that evening. Because she was so stuffed up, and had a lot of drainage, she did not sleep well that night. I tried to put her adjustable bed up as much as I could, but it still wasn't enough. Around 3 in the morning I put her in her chair where she slept for a few hours. After I put her back into bed, her sleep was still pretty disruptive. Finally, around 8:30 she had had enough and just wanted to get up for the day.  On Monday, we called to cancel her Tuesday therapy sessions. She was bummed about having to miss aquatic therapy and occupational therapy but took it well. I was trying my best to help her feel better by giving her nose spray (which she was actually asking for), keeping her humidifier going, and also doing this face mask thing that makes steam so that she can breathe it in.

Summer Recap

It's almost the last day of August and I think pretty much everyone I know is asking, "What in the world happened to summer?" It seems like summer whizzes by faster and faster every year.

At the end of every summer, I find myself feeling sad about not doing the things I had wanted to do once the warmer weather approached. But now as I think about it, there were some very hot days that I was content to stay inside! I think our hottest day was 106 degrees.

Meanwhile, as summer passes us by and my favorite season quickly approaches, here are some fun things we did over the short summer. 

We kicked off the summer celebrating my niece Justine's graduation from high school


We saw an unusual number of rainbows this summer after some very crazy storms

While we didn't go on the Riverboat this year, we at least made it to the river to enjoy the scenery!

Faith was so happy to go to the 4th of July parade this year in Mandan with Grandpa!

Having fun with my friend Kristi and her kids at the parade

We of course made our weekly trips to one of our favorite places - the library

We were so happy to discover our swing was back at Magical Moments playground!

Faith couldn't wait to show Grandma - who we had a lot of fun hanging out with this summer!

That about sums up our summer. One more thing Rob and I have been working hard on all summer long is completing my book, Having Faith. I'm happy to say it will be coming out next month! 

We hope you got a chance to relax during this season and were able to get out and enjoy the summer weather. Here in North Dakota, it's not something we take for granted!
