Poor Izzy

Today has been a long day for all of us, but it ended with Izzy having an unfortunate mishap, followed by us snuggling on the couch and both of us being medicated (hopefully we will feel better and rest well too).

After dinner, we were hanging out with Uncle Mark when Izzy decided to get some books off the big bookshelf in the living room. Izzy was mad that I took them away, and I was putting those books away, I turned around to see 2 dark objects on the floor, close to Izzy. About the time I realized they were WASPS, Izzy stood right smack on top on one! I barely got to her to lift her foot off, but it was too late, Izzy got her first wasp sting in the worst place - bottom of the ball of her foot. For Izzy that's a terrible place because she is ALWAYS running around, and the sting left her unable to do so. She had no idea what had happened, but she was very upset.

We tried a few things - Ice, pickle juice, after bite medicine, but it wasn't until I stuck Izzy's feet in a sink of cold water and she found our toothpaste that she stopped crying. We gave her bath, and then snuggled on the couch watching baby einsteins for the rest of the evening. At first, she kept squirming around, trying to run away, but as soon as she stood on her foot, she'd give a wimper, try to walk on her toes then just cry some more. It was soooo sad to watch. I gave her some benadryl and motrin to hopefully help her pain and let her sleep. Soon after that, she was able to drift off to sleep in her daddy's arms. Putting her to bed was the easist part of our crazy day which started with me waking up Robert at 2am after I came home with a migraine. So Robert has been taking care of both his ladies and I am recovering from my migraine and working 3 nights with no where near enough sleep.
Hopefully tomorrow will be less eventful and Izzy will be able to walk/run/climb again soon!
We are looking forward to having Grammy, Grandpa, Cheree & Daniel come visit for the LONG weekend!

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Another busy weekend has come and gone. It feels like we did so much with our family this weekend, but really we were all able to relax some and enjoy hanging out and playing with Izzy for the weekend. I'm thankful for the extra time with everyone. I just wish we had one more day off to do nothing now! Here are a few pictures to recap the weekend. Grammy made homemade blueberry pancakes while Izzy and Grandpa supervised (and taste-tested) YUM!! I'm pretty sure she said Yum a lot this weekend! Izzy showing Grammy how much she loves to take off and run outside She is growing up too fast - but still cuter than ever! Excited that Cheree and Daniel came too Learning all about Mac Books from Uncle D Laughing when Grandpa makes animal noises, another favorite for Izzy Ahhh ...my daily scene of frustration - wish she would listen to us and NOT stand on chairs every chance she gets...but naturally standing is always more fun than sitting for this daredevil, so we're working on that...

Closer than ever

It was soooooo good to see my brother and sister. I'm glad they will get to see Izzy more too! There is so much to her personality and abilities, it is just too hard to describe her over the phone! Yesterday was a very cool day for me - I got to hang out with my brother, sister and brother in law too... hanging out might not sound like a big deal, but to us, it is exciting because for the first time in a long time - at least 7 years the 3 Voyles siblings all live in the same state. Not just that, but we are only 2 hours away from each other. We have been 10 hours apart for the last 4 years...which meant only visiting each other 3 or 4 times a year - 3 or 4 RUSHED visits is hectic and not enough time together for us. Now with Cheree and Daniel in Chattanooga and we're in Nashville (so is Mark), we're all going to be able to see each other much more often, allowing us days to just "hang out" like we used to. I literally called Cheree and Daniel on Thursday to ask so...
