Got Sushi?

I've honestly been waiting this one out....it's official...Sushi has been missing for a month. We all just got back from our week long trip to Tyler. Sushi was supposed to be there, waiting for someone to transport him down to San Antonio now that we have the new house. He just vanished! No sign of him....and b/c of that, I'd like to think the best. I imagine him with a loving family treating him like a king...dominant as he is being a Siamese male. We had Sushi for 5 1/2 years! He was my baby before Avery even came around. We will miss him and remember our first family pet, Sushi, forever!

Memories that will never be forgotten (good and bad):

• Sleeping, snuggled up next to me EVERY night.
• The sticker burr that got stuck to the back of his tongue
• Never once, not ONCE cleaning up an accident off the floor
• Searching till midnight, even the neighbors, with flashlights when stuck up a huge tree
• His softness and warmth in the winter
• Traveling with him...back and forth our first year like he was a dog, and like he liked it!
• Come to find out, he had the biggest case of motion sickness I'd ever seen
• The way he was so miraculously clean all the time ...where'd the dirt go?
• Rescuing him from the two big dogs at our duplex
• How he climbed trees like a pro with NO front claws
• His calming purr
• His response to my voice only

WE LOVE YOU SUSHI!

Rent to Own

For the 6th time in our 6 years of marriage, we have moved again. Finally it is permanent. I'm glad we didn't really "rent to own" any of those duplexes, apartments or rent houses. It's just such a good feeling to finally be moved in with no more "moving" in the future...well for a long while anyway. Someday our little family will grow out of this small first house and we will move again.... But until then, goodbye renting!

An update on this little girl, who just had to get her swimsuit on when she saw out the window that Daddy had the sprinkler on.... Obviously, feeling much better. She has gone two nights without fever...that means we slept! She still is congested and we are still taking some Tylenol for the ears, but what a huge difference in the beginning of this week from last Monday (first sign of fever). Hallelujah!

Pneumonia

I thought my next post would be a happy post about our new house. Well, that is coming but I have been extremely busy taking care of Avery that was diagnosed with pneumonia yesterday! She has been completely sick and miserable since Monday with fever that is only controlled by me forcing medicine down her. It's just plain ridiculous how hot and on fire she feels at night especially. I have been completely miserable as well... even though we are all moved in ...and I DO love our new house. I gotta get this baby well, so that we all can enjoy it! Tomorrow, if the fever is not gone, the doctor wants her to come in a third time.. yes, that will be on a Saturday. (We found an amazing pediatrician who's office is open on Sat and Sun!!!!) Thank you God.... haven't we all been there on a weekend when we absolutely need help with a sick child? So, hopefully tonight goes well and me and Avery don't have to spend our Saturday at the doctor's! Please pray for my little one... somethings got to give. We are all about to go crazy!
