Poor Anna

Written back in May...

We have had a great time being in Utah thus far.

Anna has had a bit of a rough time though.  To start off, her sleeping was way off.  She was waking up between 4:45-5:45 for the first few days and would not go back to sleep.  I am most definitely NOT a happy camper that early in the morning.  On top of that, two days after we arrived she was riding a "plasma car" and it went rolling down the end of the driveway and dumped her right on her face.  She scraped her chin, lip and nose.  Thankfully she's a tough cookie.  The next day she and Tommy came down with a really bad cough/runny nose.  It was waking both kids up at night, which was rough on Mom as well.  Two days later Anna was out riding on the tricycle with the girls and I heard a huge scream.  She had fallen off that bike as well and not only scratched her chin and nose, but managed to put two huge bite marks on her lip as well as bloody knuckles.  Her lip was extremely swollen for a couple days after that.  We kept the pacifier in to help her avoid chewing on the lip.  Ouch!  Lots more blood that time.  And then another two days later?  She started teething- 4 teeth at once.  Poor Anna couldn't catch a break!  As of today we have a residual runny nose, but the crabbiness and waking up multiple times a night has ended.
