We had the traditional Thanksgiving with the peeps.  It was in Billings this year and the weather was awesome.  The ladies got in some good long runs and the menfolk mountain biked quite a bit.  And of course we ate.  And drank.  As usual, we were having too good of a time to take very many pictures.

Yesterday Jessie figured out how to do a somersault by herself. She's been trying for months and finally got it.

Friday the 13th: The Revenge of the Croup

  • Nov 15, 2009
  • Post a comment

Friday the 13th seemed to be about over without incident when I heard a strange noise I couldn't place while Greg and I were in the basement watching a movie. I went upstairs to check on Jessie and found her doing this crazy wheezing beside her bed. It looked like she was having a hard time breathing, so we rushed her to the ER. The doctor quickly reassured us that it was the croup and she was getting plenty of oxygen. It was by far the scariest moment I've had thus far as a parent. We had no idea what was going on. Jessie started to have a little runny nose Friday afternoon, but otherwise showed no sign of getting sick. So to see her making these crazy sounds with every breath 2 hours after she went to sleep totally shocked us. They gave her a breathing treatment and a steroid and we were back home in about an hour. Now we know to bring her out in the cold to make her feel better. 


The doctor said she would likely be running around like a typical 2-year-old crack-head on Saturday and, as you can see from the movie, he was right.

Lucy gets neglected in the family photos because she is a grumpy bitch.  She's only willing to have her picture taken when there is some swimming, hiking, or eating to be done.  Let it be known that despite the fact that Sammy is in every single family picture, and Sammy is a fine dog and we love Sammy, Lucy is the best dog the Hoods will ever know.

The pumpkin of Jessie's design
Jessie was Super-Doggie for Halloween.  Doggie was a Fairy.  Jessie let us know this week that Doggie wanted to be a Fairy for Halloween, so Mommy made him a costume too.  We trick or treated at Boppie's, Uncle Billy's and around our block and got more candy than a little girl should eat in a year.  We got so much candy, our pumpkin candy carrier's handle broke on the way home!  Mommy and Daddy got to go on a hike in the Bitteroot today thanks to Boppie's generosity with babysitting.  We walked up Kootenai Creek where the big fire happened this summer and there were still hot spots where it was still burning.  It was rainy but eerily warm and very cool to see the burn.
