Too close to home...

Well, if you don’t live in a hole, you know about all the recent events here. How close to home did it hit? WAY to close. Courtney’s day care shares a parking lot with New Life Church. The parking lot next to the day care was full of emergency equipment Sunday night. They commandeered the day care center as a command post. The FBI, ATF, fire department, and police department were all working in the day care until 4am Monday morning!

I took Courtney to daycare Monday morning. The campus police arrived shortly before me and apparently stood guard all day. That made me feel a bit better. As of Monday morning, we weren’t sure if everyone involved was caught, heck we didn’t even know who the shooter was. I was a little upset about leaving her there Monday, but everything has settled down now. The whole situation is a bit scary all together!

Back to what we have been up to, it was a super busy weekend here. Friday night, it was snowing, and 3 of our cadets came over. Saturday morning we woke up and it was still snowing. I was supposed to go to the open house at our Agility building, but I got out on the roads and they were awful. So, I turned around and went home.

That evening, Hubby went a picked up 2 more cadets! Yes, we had 5 cadets here Saturday night into Sunday. Things were feeling a bit crazy around here, but we got through. Sunday morning we had a big breakfast, and mid-day the group of 3 cadets went out and played in the snow for a while. Once they came back cold and wet, they all took hot showers and then headed back to the Academy. The group of 2 stayed through dinner, and then we took them back. After dropping them off at the Academy, we stopped at Target for a few items we needed.

Monday was a nice day, which helped some of the snow melt. But, by the time Maggie and I left for Agility Monday night around 7:30pm it was snowing again. We woke up to snow this morning, and lots of school delays. However, Courtney had a doctors appointment first thing, so there was no delay in getting on the roads for us. This appointment today was her 15 month check up. She has had a slight runny nose the last few days. We told the doctor about that. She looked in Courtney’s left ear and said, ‘well, that one’s infected’ then she looked in the right and said ‘that one’s infected too’! Ugh. But Courtney didn’t have a fever, so she was able to get her shots today. She is maintaining being in the 15^th percentile for her weight. Her height is in the 50^th percentile, and her head is in the 70^th percentile! The pediatrician thinks she has come a LONG way, but she is worried about these repeated ear infections. But with her ear infections, it is a wait and see kind of thing.

Well, I have a ton of things to do with the holiday coming up so quick!
