Mom's Brag Posts

(for when life gets too busy and all I can do is post some pictures...)

Gina and her cousin, Michael. They were on the same t-ball team last year but this year they moved on to baseball and softball.

Gina entered this picture she took in the PTA Reflections Contest where she got a 3rd place locally and 2nd place regionally. Way to go Gina!

Here we are at Pymatuning Lake for Memorial Day weekend. Our friend JJ's family has a camp up there. Gina really likes to fish because she always catches the most fish. It is amazing! In this picture Gina is mad at Lily because she is scaring the fish away.

Gina with one of several she caught.

This is Gina and Brigette. When I met Randy we were both in college. Brigette's dad is JJ who was Randy's roommate for most of college. It's crazy looking at this picture of the 2 roommates daughters.

Of course you can't go to Pymatuning without stopping at the Linesville Spillway to feed the fish. Go to YouTube or Google Linesville Spillway and see for yourself the weird yet mesmerizing tradition.



The friday before the Memorial Day weekend, we found out Gina had strep throat. She missed a make-up softball game. Thankfully once the antibiotics kicked in she felt fine and was able to enjoy the weekend. Then...
... Lily got sick a few days after we got home. I was so sure that she also had strep but a trip to the doctor determined that she just had a severe viral infection. No antibiotics. Her fevers were up to 105.2! Motrin lowered the fevers but as soon as it wore off the fevers would roar back. It was crazy - she would get so hot and would be miserable, I'd give her Motrin and an hour later she would be running around, five hours later she would be miserable again. We did this for 4 days. Thankfully she was drinking fluids like a champ and would even eat some. Finally today her temperature stayed normal. I hope and pray its over!
