Ginger wants some attention too!

Landyn seems to be getting all the attention on these posts so I thought I would give Ginger the spotlight for a little bit. Ginger is not feeling well right now. Rachel took her to the emergency vet last night. Turns out she has some sort of virus and she will be okay. The vet also said she was a little backed up and they would have to go in and clean her out. I bet that was not pleasant. She is back home now and recovering. She still is not yet herself, but it is good to know nothing major is wrong with her. Just some antibiotics and she should be okay. Click on the picture to see some more pictures of her. Hope everyone wishes her a get well soon!


Update March 3, 2009 8:34 AM : Rachel took ginger to Pet Med again on Monday, since she was still not better. The veterinarian spent a lot of time with Rachel and Ginger, and his diagnosis was that she most likely has a slipped disk in her back. That seems to be the point of her pain. We are suppose to limit her movement, up and down stairs and such, which is difficult.

Just for giggles, if you need to smile

Finally got around and put a couple videos out of Landyn. Every time he seems to giggle, eventually he gets the hiccups. The first video is of Mom tickling his feet. The second is Landyn giggling at Daddy.

Grammy and Grandpap came over on Valentines day to have lunch with us. They took some pictures, as usual, during their time with us.

Great Grandma and Pappy Cost

Landyn and I spent a few days with Great Grandma and Pappy Cost. Of course, I ate a lot while there as always, it was enjoyable to spend time with them. I know they enjoyed having Landyn there. Grammy and Grandpap stopped over as well for dinner on night as well. Landyn sure knows how to attract a crowd.

Pencil Drawing of Landyn

My mother had a co-worker, Jennifer Stoops, at State Farm make this pencil drawing of Landyn from an original photograph. Some other samples of her work are available on her website. This is hand drawn.

Happy Birthday Dad and Aly

Rachel and I traveled to Cincinnati to meet up with my family to celebrate my Dad's birthday, and my niece Aly. We left Landyn with Grammy and Grandpap for the weekend. We drove up on a Friday night and got there late after a small unscheduled detour (read as not my fault) through the backwoods of Indiana.

Saturday the guys went out and ran some small errands and back to the house to relax. The girls went to IKEA. They probably could have been there all day if we were not on a schedule. Saturday night we took Dad to "The Melting Pot", and as I expected, it was delicious. Then back to the house to open cards and presents.

Dad got a Kindle 2 and quite a few nice cards. The next day Aly opened her presents. She got a cell phone. I think she was happy.
