Our Thanksgiving meal.
Well, Thanksgiving came and went. I must admit it was a bit of a challenging day for me. Lizbeth was running a fever and having stomach cramps, thus she was crying constantly. This does not make for a happy time! I went ahead and cooked the turkey, first one I have ever cooked. It turned out good, a little dry, but still good. We ate around 1:30 and you can see by the picture that Mariana loved the giant legs! She chowed down!
However, Liz continued to cry and be unhappy, thus making us unhappy, I admit I cried too at one point. Finally, after talking with a doctor, he decided we needed a stool analysis. So, after a diaper had been filled, I made the 1 1/2 hour drive to and from the lab. Turns out she has a bacterial infection in her stomach. (Don't ask me where she got it from. . . ) Now, she has been on antibiotics for 24 hours and is a whole new child. Antibiotics are wonderful!
In the end, we had a great Thanksgiving, but I admit it had many ups and downs in just 24 hours!
In other news, I have taught Dilma to knit using the Kniffty Knitter Loom. She loves it. She has already knitted 2 hats in 2 days and continues to make more. She wants to make a hat for everyone in her family. She likes the first hat she made so much that she wears it all the tiime and when she is not wearing it, Lizbetha and Mariana are fighting over it.
After she masters the loom, I am going to teach her to use needles. So, thank you to all that have helped by donating thread and looms.
Finally, I have finally found something cold that the girls like, they love strawberry smoothies at night. Here is another picture of Mariana, enjoying smoothie. (She loves to eat)
