Keeping Nike in business

Track season is in full run here in the northwest. As luck would have it our first meet was sunny! My daughters are seasoned pros at track and field, but my son is a first-timer. We were exceptionally proud of him when ...
HE CAME IN FIRST PLACE AT HURDLES!!!!!!! WOO HOO! MEGAN CAME IN FIRST AT HURDLES, TOO! TWIN POWERS, ACTIVATE! FORM OF: A GRASSHOPPER!

In other news, Nolan needs to see a specialist for his cough which we just can't beat. He has an inhaler. He takes allergy medicine. We have tried more than one kind. He has been on antibiotics. He uses a humidifier. He has had a chest Xray. Still, he coughs so hard I expect his eyes to pop out. The last time I talked to our ped. about his cough she wanted to let it ride a while, but time to insist on a referral.
*Emmeline is 6.5 months now. She had a hard time with her last round of shots which was terrifying. High fever, bright red rash -- your basic cause for massive parental guilt and nightmares. And, that was with leaving out Hep B which she can get later. Happy to say she is now showing no residual effects of her vaccines.
*Final note: my sister in law is having another boy! That makes three boys for them; a perfect fit.
*And with that, dear reader, I am off to school because the nurse just called and I have a child with an upset stomach and 101.5 fever awaiting pick up.
