Wow, did I get behind!

Well, it's been since the beginning of June since my last post.  Perhaps behind is not the correct term...  Things have been crazy around here: I lost my job, James got a new one and Rowan just keeps on growing, changing and being awesome.  Now that I have a bit of time on my hands, I'll see what I can do about getting caught up.

Reading with Elena, Anna and Rowan

Hugs good-night!

Waaaay back around Easter, we had a nice visit with my friend Anna and her daughter Elena when they came out to visit from Ontario.  The girls had a blast together, although Elena kept calling me Rowan!  We would have seen them again with daddy Chad, but...illness struck hard!

The most pitiful sick girl ever!

Poor Rowan got some kind of tummy bug and threw up 10 times in one day!  I had no idea someone so small could throw up that much!  It does show how much of a trooper she is that she hardly cried, just slept on my lap and you didn't even hear her throw up.  Good thing James was home though; I don't do well with puke.   

  Feeling a bit better, but still not up for much playing

The real downsides to that day were that she was pretty leery about eating or drinking anything for about a week after and (after the explosive diarrhea), every little toot demanded a bum change.  Also, we didn't get to have Anna, Chad and Elena come over as none of us wanted Elena to go through that.  Especially with a long flight back to Ontario on the agenda.

But as with everything, she came through it, gained the weight back that she lost from being so sick and became her old self again.
