This last week Jacob, Maya, and Nadia were in town. We just love any chance we get to see them. Ashlyn just absolutely adores Nadia. She asks about her all the time. On Tuesday, they invited us to join them at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I haven't been there in several years, but much is still the same. Ashlyn had a blast looking at all of the animals. There was a big group of us and lots of kids for Ashlyn to play with. They have added a new interactive area that is a lot of fun. Ashlyn loved exploring and discovering. We had a great time and I definitely plan to go back to the museum but I want to take Joey next time. The kids had a great time and they all fell asleep the second we got in the car.
On Wednesday night, Dawson started coughing and got really fussy again. He coughed all night long. Poor thing didn't sleep well at all because of his cough. (His sickness always has impeccable timing on nights were I work the next day). I had to go to work but called the doctor during my plan time. I described his symptoms to the nurse and she said that he better come in to be seen. I brought him in as soon as I got off work. The doctor he saw was the same one he saw the week before. She looked in his ears and said that they actually looked worse than they did last week. She said the ear infection he had was resistant to the antibiotic he was on. So, she prescribed him a new antibiotic. We started the new meds and he seems to be getting better, but he is still fighting the same nasty cold that Ashlyn fought for weeks. Ella has it too, so I spend a lot of time wiping poor baby noses. I pray that they both get better soon and stay that way!
On Saturday, Joey took the kids up to Woodland Park. I had to do my long run, so I couldn't join them. They went up there for the awards ceremony for horse competitions. Ashlyn got a ribbon and a $10 McDonald's gift card. She is very excited to buy some Happy Meals with her card. They also got a chance to ride the horses which Ashlyn just loved of course.
Here are some pictures from the week.
