Project 365: Day 37 – One Year Check-Up

image

After a fun visit with Daddy, filled with cookies and ticklish feet, I took Navy in for his check-up.

Weight: 22 pounds, 4 ounces
Height: 30.5 inches

He may need to go back to the dermatologist if his foot doesn’t clear up. Those wonderful eczema genes from Daddy.

He got 3 shots and was not happy about it. He recovered quickly and promptly fell asleep after we were in the car.

Project 365: Day 35 – The Kindness of Strangers

This is how my morning started. Got the kids loaded in the car with time to spare. Was driving slowly. Slid a little, corrected a little. Slid a little more, corrected a little more. Spun. Slid into ditch.

A lady driving by stopped and said she would ask her dad if he could help us since he had a truck. She drove by 5 minutes later to let us know he was on the way.

While we waited, Lily told me, “Our can spinned in circles, and she got really dizzy, but that’s okay because it was fun.” She also said she wanted to do it again.

Mike arrived and surveyed my dilemma. He said we needed to get the snow away from the wheels, then go up the embankment at an angle.

Meanwhile, Dad arrived and made sure we were all okay, which we were. I was much more calm at that point.

Mike got the tow strap in place. The first tug was unproductive and my tires spun. The second one got me back on the road.

So grateful for the kindness of strangers!!

Lily got invited to her first birthday party for a friend. Not the first birthday party she’s ever gone to, but this was for a friend she made all on her own, not a friendship orchestrated by the parents.
