Landscaping/Weekend Recap

Emma has another ear infection. We have been averaging about 1 every 2 months, which is a little ridiculous. Her doctor says that if she has another one before this fall, then we will have to talk about putting tubes in the ears...super.

So, anyway, on Thursday/Friday Emma was running 101 and 102 degree temps, so I took her to the clinic and got her started on some amoxicillin. John stayed home with her on Thursday and I stayed home on Friday. By the middle of the day Friday, Emma was starting to feel better and come around.

Saturday, we went to lunch with Jim, Barb, Jeff, and his girlfriend and then walked around the zoo together. It was a wonderful day outside, so it was awesome to visit the zoo, but it was very crowded. We spent the evening at Kristina and Johnny's for a BBQ. Emma did really well there, and we were even able to put her to bed there in a pack-and-play so that we could enjoy the fire and visit with everyone.

Sunday, we spent most of the day planting bushes/perennials in our landscaping. All we have had since we moved into this house was the rocks and edging, so we decided to finally plant some shrubbery. Most of the plants we got from Barb from her greenhouses, and then we bought a couple bushes at Lowe's. It was a lot of work getting in all the plants, but I think it is going to look awesome once they are more established.

More landscaping

Keeping with the outdoor theme on Sunday, we also tilled the garden and mowed the lawn.  We also brought Emma to a park for a while and then finished the day with some Frozen Yogurt.

Kinda unsure of the sand

But she loves Frozen Yogurt

It was a great weekend, but like every weekend it was over in a flash and then back to work. I have today off and Emma has her 12 month check-up, which means more shots. So, we will see how that goes. 

Enjoy that sunshine everyone!!
