Wes is off to Alaska….

Monday, October 8th, 2007

I just hung up the phone with him, he was in Memphis. He left Monroe around 6:35, and I made it back home about 5 minutes and he called. We were all pretty apprehensive about him going, since he had fever over 101 at times yesterday. He went to the dr and got some medicine, so I hope he will be ok. He has sinus drainage with a secondary infection starting. Emma Grace was his nurse yesterday. She would cover him up, pat his head, kiss him and bring him all of her stuffed animals or toys. I was checking his fever last night with the ear thermometer, and she would take one of her toys and try to stick it in the other ear. She is certainly a copycat.

She woke up to tell her daddy goodbye. We left here around 4:45. Grammy came to stay with her, and I think Grammy thought she could sleep more. Well, Emma Grace had other plans. She is still awake and going strong. We have laughed at her. I don't know what Grammy put in her sippy cup this morning, but I want some of it. :) She is still saying "bitch" for witch. I am so afraid she is going to embarrass me in Wal-Mart. Last night, she had her Halloween flashlight and it had the witch cover on it. She came running in the living room saying where did my bitch go. She would say it over and over. I looked at Grammy and said she is saying …. I looked at her flashlight and the cover was off. I said, "Oh, no, where did your witch go?" Her response was with both hands on her head, "Oh, no, where is my bitch." She ran to her room, and we found it on the floor. She said, "There's my bitch." I know we shouldn't laugh, but she is so serious when she says it.

Well, Wes just called me, and he is about to take off from Memphis. (8:45) He goes to Seattle next, and then on to Fairbanks. I just checked the weather in Fairbanks, it is 25 degrees and snowing. It is going to be FREEZING up there. I hope he doesn't get sicker. I told him I wasn't too up on flying alone, and that was a LONG way to drive. :) Well, Emma Grace is still going strong, and I am about to fall out of the chair. Guess I will try and see if she wants to sleep. (hahaha) later…..

Update: (2:00)

Wes made it to Seattle around 1:20 our time. His ears were killing him. He didn't have fluid behind them yesterday, but he said he must now. He said coming down was tough, and everything he tried didn't work. He didn't sound too good. He was still on the plane, and said once he got off he was going to take medicine. I am about to call him back to check on him. I finally got Emma Grace to sleep, but not before she decided to decorate her room in powder. I have never seen so much powder in all my life. She had it all in her hair, all over her face and all over her clothes. There were not many places in her room that didn't have powder on them. It was a mess. Back to Wes, just got off the phone with him and he sounds terrible. He said his ears were killing him. He has a 3 hour layover, so maybe his ears will stop hurting.

We are getting everything finalized to start building our house. The bank called today, and we are just about ready to "sign our lives away". :-) It is exciting in one way and very scary in another way. Remember if you need any hair bows or anything monogrammed give us a call.

People have been asking about new photos. Hopefully in the near future Wes can put some photos up. He just hasn't had the time, and I don't know how to do it. I am going to get him to show me so he doesn't have to do it all the time. Sorry….
