Saturday, 9 February

Got up a couple times during the night to help Olivia fall back to sleep. Found out some things more about her skin and allergies. She is allergice to polyester - found that out the hard way. Put her in Polyester pajamas - and after being in them for only a few minutes, she had bumps all over her body and little sores. It's been so aggravating not knowing what will set her skin off. So did a bunch of research and I ordered two air purifiers - one for her bedroom and one for downstairs. Hopefully that will help out with things, I got rid of all the polyester pajamas and bought more 100% cotton PJ's. Okay, so got up at 5:00 am, did Olivia's hair and changed her - then took her downstairs to let Kurt get some sleep. We sat and she played - I had a lot of coffee. The breakfast bar didn't open until 7:00, so we got to spend some quality time together. She is so happy and chatty, especially in the morning. She is talking a lot and giggles all the time. Around 7:30, Kurt came down then the rest of the family was down shortly after. Had a little to eat and then headed up stairs to get cleaned up. We had to be dressed and ready to go by 9:45. We got all packed up and headed out to the Funeral Home by 10:00 am. It was a very nice funeral, sad of course but it was very touching. It was nice to see Tammy and Sophia, had a long chat with them, met another parent that has a child with eczema (Cayden). Learned a lot and we compared notes on the eczema. After the funeral, we went to the church and had a nice lunch. Met a lot of very nice people, relatives of Kurt I hadn't met before and family friends. Everyone was very nice and I enjoyed our chats. After lunch, I had to get back on the road - long ride and there was a big snow storm coming. So got on the road, followed Kurt all the way home, we stopped at the Tanger Outlet Mall. Got some stuff at Banana Republic - really cheap. I got a sweater and two polo shirts for only $23.00... Great deals. I also got two pair of shoes for Olivia at the Stride Rite outlet store. We then got home around 4:30. Fed the dogs and put everything away from the trip. Gave Olivia a bath (she had an explosion in her diaper) and then went to Blockbuster to get a few movies and picked up some soda. We watched a movie (The dumbest one ever - Blond and Blonder, it was Kurt's choice) - it was so bad. I feel asleep through it and woke up at the end of it. Went to bed, so tired.
