One Eyed, One Horned, Flying Purple People Eater

So when Eve was 2 months old she got thrush, actually we got thrush. It was miserable. Well this past week she has been acting strange and all of a sudden those little all too familiar white spots showed up in her mouth. Luckily I wasn't in pain so I didn't think that it was thrush so we had to go to the doctor and get it checked out. Well the doctor says it's a really bad case of thrush. I want to cry. I feel like thrush is my enemy; I hate it. I will become obsessed with killing it. Everything has to be cleaned so that once we get rid of thrush it doesn't come back. Did I mention I hate thrush.

On the positive side we have successfully treated it before. So the doctor recommends the same treatment this time. I have to say that there is nothing more amusing that a little girl with a purple mouth!!! She looks like a clown, or like she has been sucking on a purple marker. It really makes me smile so I thought I should share some pictures of the purple people eater.

Goodbye Summer

We had a blast in Ketchikan this summer! Eve got to be spoiled by Grandma Mil, Aunt Alice, and Uncle Andrew. Aunt Alice bought her the lion walker she is pushing around. She got to dress up like a mini-tourist... those from Ketchikan can appreciate that. I got to do some crafts with mom; one of the crafts was figuring out how to make bows. Eve loved all the attention and I loved all the help. We miss everyone!!!

Daddy's Little Girl

When Eve was born she was a total daddy's girl; if I wasn't her sole source of food she would have happily gone off into the sunset with Ian and left mommy at the hospital. You can see that in this picture from when she was just a few weeks old that she still loved daddy most. Eventually she decided that since I was the sole source of food that I came before daddy on the love scale; this was a sad day for Ian. Recently she has decided that once again she is a daddy's girl. She goes to sleep for him easier, loves to play with him, and once again would happily leave me out of her life.

Ian is thrilled!! Secretly I am too!! It is a relief to be able to do things around the house without her crawling around crying looking for me. It is sad for me too. Mostly because Ian is at school or commuting to school most of the time so she is left with second-rate mommy which doesn't make her happy.

Mushroom Hunting

So Ian loves mushrooms and mushroom hunting so he decided to take Eve mushroom hunting this afternoon. You can see that they found a big one, of course we can't eat it, (it's an amanita muscaria, which is poisonous) but it's so pretty. Eve wanted to touch it so bad!!

End of Summer

So we made our pilgrimage back up North and got back in Wasilla late last night. We are so relieved to be settling back in somewhere where we will be for a while. We have only one more trip left for this year and then we will all be a relieved to be done with traveling for a while.
