My poor baby had to have her shots yesterday. I had a fever Monday so I figured, even though it was gone Tuesday morning, that I'd better send Scott to the appointment just in case I was still contagious. Maddy's doctor said "I notice your wife isn't here and it's shot day . . .". I suppose he thought that I wused out and didn't want to see my baby stuck with needle after needle. Well, not my reason for being absent but an unintended benefit!
She is now caught up on all her shots and she is 10 lbs 12 oz and 23 inches long. Her weight and head circumference was in the 50th percentile but she is 75th for length. Maybe she will turn out to have Scott's height!
We have to take her to Primary Children's Medical Center next week to have an ultrasound of her hips. Apparently Dr. L saw something that made him a little worried so they are checking. He told Scott over and over that it's not a big deal and probably won't be anything but he wants to check for displasia (sp?) and make sure that if it is there, we can correct it with braces rather than surgery later. I hope that the results come back negative and we don't have to worry about that!
I felt fairly well but decided that since it was 1:00 and Maddy wasn't feeling great, that I'd stay home with her. She was a little bit more cranky than normal but nothing too bad. She took her shots like a trooper!
Aunt Katie likes to do Maddy's hair during the day. She does a much better job than I do. Yesterday I came home to this cute little do. I LOVE it! However, I have to admit that she bares a striking resemblance to this man.
Love the do Katie. Thanks. I am torn between how cute it is and the fact that it makes her look like a little girl and less like a baby.
We also planted Skyrocket Junipers a few weeks ago and a boxwood and Japanese maple, so I think that we might be square with the environmentalists. And for extra measure, I bought some reusable cloth bags at the grocery store (now we have to see whether or not I actually remember to take them with me to the store). 
It was pretty dark, the sun was just behind the spire of the temple, and my camera on auto setting was taking pretty dark pictures. However, I watched an instructional DVD on my camera a few weeks ago so I played with aperture and shutter speed and got some better pictures. The only problem with a slow shutter speed is that the photographer and the photograph-ee have to be pretty still since any movement really blurs the pictures. 
Anyhow, here are a bunch of my favorite pictures - after being doctored by me with Picasa. I love Picasa!
I love the way the people are just blurry colors because they were walking.
The moon was full (or just past full) and looked really pretty and bright through the trees.
So, I'm no Sharon but I had fun shooting the pictures and then editing them. In theory, I should learn how to make the camera settings do this stuff so I don't have to edit it in. . . but until I learn, this is fun.

If you read my sister's blogs, you probably have heard all about the trip so I'll just say that I so, so, so love my family!!!! We had such a wonderful time catching up and reminiscing and just having a great time. And we have such great husbands some of whom had to take vacation days to stay home and take care of kids. Some vacation huh? Thank you husbands! I Love my family!
