Annie-Sarah has the chicken pox!!

This has been a very interesting week in the Clements' house, Annie-Sarah has the chicken pox!!!!! She started running a fever of 101 on Sunday night and then she acted normal on Monday, but Tuesday morning she woke up with a rash and it steadily got worse throughout the day. Wednesday she woke up and she had a red rash all over. She had the chicken pox shot at 12 months, but they still have the chance to get them, but she does not have a bad case of them. She is actually in a pretty good mood, but very sleepy and gets irritable when I don't give her medicine regularly. The hardest thing about her being sick is that she has wanted to go outside and play because she has been looking out the window and seeing other kids outside playing. Daniel is at Centrifuge this week and she already missed her daddy, but being sick makes her miss him even more. I am very thankful that God has blessed me with such a wonderful church family that has called and checked on us.

Our First Family Vacation!

Vacations are always something that Daniel and I look forward to. Before moving to Arkansas Daniel worked two jobs and went to school full time which did not leave much time for vacationing. We did manage to take a cruise for our first anniversary, but sense then we were unable to go on vacation for almost three years. That was until June 3 when we took a short trip to Lake DeGray in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. Arkadelphia is about an hour and a half from where we live. We decided that instead of paying a lot of money to stay in a hotel we would be adventurous and stay in a tent. I have to say that it was one of the best experiences that we have ever had! Annie-Sarah had a blast!!!!! She took naps when she was suppose to and went to sleep at night like she was suppose to. She was great!! The only thing that we really had to convince her to do was to get in the water. Last year she loved the water, but this year it has taken some convincing to get her to play in any amount of water(including the kiddie pool in the back yard.) Annie-Sarah did meet a friend on the trip, it was a frog and she decided to name the frog "Becky" after her Aunt Becky. I have to say this was the best vacation ever because having a little one makes you look at activities in a whole new way.
