Summer Lovin'!

I know...I have totally turned into that person. You know, the one who blogs every other month and vows they will do better. I'll say it anyway...I'm going to try and do better!

Our summer has been filled with fun! We started out the summer by going to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We met my parents and our family friends, Scott and Tammy Sims. Micah was 10 months at the time so we knew this was going to be a fun, but different kind of vacation! She had never been swimming so I was looking forward to introducing her to some pool fun. Yeah, well...that didn't exactly go as planned. She liked the water for about 5 minutes and then wanted out to crawl around the pool deck! Oh well, next summer should be better, right?! Some things she DID enjoy was guacamole, golf cart rides, crawling around our room (and everywhere for that matter!) and her grandparents. Brett and I always love going back to Cabo every year so, all in all, we had a great vacay!

The rest of our summer has been made up of trips to Texas (visiting friends and family) and selling Fireworks at our Arkansas location. Abilene has been rather *crispy* this summer so they did not allow firework sells this year. Other than road trips and fireworks, we've enjoyed swimming with Micah, cooking out, fellowship with friends and just RELAXING! We head to Texas (again!) at the end of this week for Brett's 10 year reunion. Wow! Until then...here are a few pictures of our Summer Lovin'!

Ear infection and fever and teeth, oh my!

Whew! What a week. Brett was on his death bed (or so he thought!) with bronchitis and a sinus infection and Micah had her first ear infection. Every month, I kind of internally count my blessings that she has escaped an ear infection but this month caught up with us! Poor little girl...it started out as conjunctivitis in her eyes, which in turn lead to an ear infection. The only good thing about her first ear infection was the fact that she liked the bubble gum medicine (amoxicillin) she had to take twice a day! She has been known to be quite the "gagger" when it comes to taking medicine. Almost as soon as we got her ear infection under control, she developed a really high fever (104.4!), which the doctor thinks was coming from her soar, blistery throat. This was the saddest thing, y'all....she would just lay lifeless in our arms making the most pitiful sounds. We gave her a cool bath in hope that it would lower her body temp and it seemed to do the trick. On top of her high fever, she was cutting FOUR teeth! Two bottom and two top. The girl could NOT catch a break, I'm telling you! Now that things are finally past us, I'm kind of glad she cut all four of her teeth at once....maybe we'll be done with the teeth cutting for a while. I really miss her gummy grin but her new teethy grin is just as cute! Anyway- cheers to no more sickness in the Unger home for a while, please!
