Gotta love these kids!

It's been a long week.  Last Wednesday I had to go pick Dane up cause he had pink-eye.  Well, we took him tot he Dr., got some drops and figured we would be good.  Friday he hadn't improved much so he went back to the Dr and got different drops and oral antibiotics.  That night his fever climbed to 103+ and stayed there for the entire weekend.  When he was medicated it would come down some, but as soon as the tylenol or ibuprofen wore off it would shoot right back up.  Nights were super rough and then we added some puking to the mix.  He wasn't eating very well and I started getting worried.  Monday I was supposed to go to Missoula for work but Clint was working that night.  We had made arrangements with someone from his daycare to bring the kids home and hang out with them until Clint got home, but obviously that wasn't happening.  Luckily, Clint was able to get Monday off and after getting Dane another appointment to go back in I headed out to Missoula.  Good news is that they got him into an eye Dr. and got some different meds to put in his eyes.  Turns out it wasn't pink-eye but a different eye infection.  Monday night his fever was up to 103.7 when he went to bed, but it ended up breaking overnight and by Tuesday night he looked so much better.  Clint had Wednesday and Thursday off, so Dane and him ended up spending some great time together.  (even though Dane could have gone back to daycare on Wednesday, Clint kept him home and they went fishing at the River on Wednesday and out on Holter today...  Lucky guys! 

Kimber is such a cuddle bug...  she will climb in anyone's lap who is sitting on the floor.  Here she is taking advantage of Dane's lap...  as little as it may be!
Tuesday night Clint was cleaning up after dinner and the kids were outside playing.  I don't think we have to wonder if Kimber is going to be a tomboy!

I know I've said it before, but Grammy is an awesome seamstress.  Here is Kimber sportin' a super cute dress that Grammy made her! 
The next few pictures are from the boy's trip to Holter today...  here are some crawdads that they were able to catch.  As well as a stick and a flower!
Dane showing off one of the crawdads they caught!
Even though he only went a few times, swim lessons really helped Dane's confidence around water.  Here he is splashing around and having a great time!
