Labor Day Weekend

Yeah, for a three day weekend! And what better way to kick it off than with frozen yogurt? Yummy!

Unfortunately, the weather didn't feel like cooperating on our three day weekend. While we still need the rain, does it really have to happen when we have a few days off? Oh well, guess it's time for a short road trip for some indoor fun...IKEA here we come! It wasn't until we had a toddler that we realized just how family friendly IKEA is. Olivia may not have loved looking at all of the fine Swedish home furnishings, but she did love running and climbing on all of the furniture! She was also a big fan of their meatballs. I think she ate as many as I did!

Grandma and Grandpa Szafarczyk also came to visit us. They not only brought Olivia some new duds to represent Da Bears and Sox, but they brought Olivia's favorite furry friend, Angus! She loves that dog so much. Her new favorite thing is to take him for walks. I'm not really sure who is walking who, but they both have fun!

Sadly after such a fun weekend, we ended up at the HSE Health Center to see Dr. Lai. Olivia has been battling a cold for a few weeks now and I was worried it had turned into a sinus infection. She also had a very red tush. Olivia really hated having her ears looked at (not that she ever really "likes" it). Unfortunately, Dr. Lai couldn't see one of her ear tubes. NOOOOOOOO! He did caution that it could have been because he couldn't get the best angle. We have a 6 month ear tube re-check scheduled in a few weeks, so I am hoping and praying Dr. Dugan will be able to see BOTH tubes.

Who doesn't enjoy Starbucks after a doctor's appointment? What can I say, we felt bad that she was in so much pain so we let her have a little treat. Oh and it was just whipped cream; no coffee! Can you imagine Olivia with a caffeine buzz?

Thankfully, by the end of the week all of Olivia's antibiotics had kicked in and she was in much better spirits.  She is much more of a morning person than me!
