All work, no play

Keeping up with this blog has become more work than play!  For a week Natalie has been extremely congested with a cross between a runny and stopped up nose. When it sounded like it was all in her chest, I called the doctor. I was worried it might be RSV. We got her in Saturday morning at the last minute, and after a swab, found out she has strep! What?! Not sure where she got it, but she has it. You would have never known she was sick because she was her usual content self (thank you, Lord!).  Doc said she would be contagious for 24 hours so that mean no Easter services for us=( I went to church to complete my volunteer duties during the 9:30 hour, and Brian (who also wasn't feeling well) stayed home with Natalie. We will save her dress for next week!
Once I got home we loaded up and headed to Allen for a birthday dinner for Brian's 31st. The weather was perfect! We sat outside in a pristine (sp?) location with a nice cool breeze, and delicious food! We shared my favorite Lemon-Herb Garlic Chicken, with a side of mashed potatoes and carrots. Then topped it off with a Snickers Cheesecake. Yum!

Doesn't the little flower on the side look so cute?! Her hair is getting just long enough on top to hold it in! She was perfect while we ate, and again got many "ooohhhs" and "ahhhhhhs."

She was supposed to have her 6 month check up and shots tomorrow but since she is on antibiotics, we had to push it back a week. However, on Saturday they weighed her and she is only 14.8 lbs. Still a skinny girl, but getting some good thighs!
