So the big joke is that every time mom (Ama) leaves town, Kendall gets sick or something.(no kidding, this happens every time - for the past 8 years!) Kendall got the abcess when mom was on the east coast trip and now, the day after mom and dad leave for Seattle, Kendall gets a high fever after visiting our friends at the beach. By the next day the fever is down a little but she is bright red - not sunburn - and covered in a rash. Ama has to quit leaving! This is ridiculous! Poor baby!

So being the good mom that I am, I put off taking Kendall to a doctor over a bite or something on her arm that was big, red and hot. I noticed it last Saturday and since camp was finally over I took her today (Friday) to the med center. It had become an abcess - good job mom! The doctor had to numb it up, lance it open and drain it. He then packed it and we have to go back Sat. or Sun. to have the packing removed. He also took a culture which should be back on Sunday. So now the poor kid can't swim or play ball for a few days. Lesson learned! She did great through it all which is no surprise. She is a tough cookie!

Kendall is at water sports camp this week at camp Manitou-Lin - a YMCA camp. She is loving it of course. There are only 4 kids in her group so they each get a lot of turns. They go tubing, canoeing, waterskiing, swimming, sailing, kneeboarding and ocean rock climbing along with other fun camp stuff - archery, arts and crafts and horseback riding. The weather is below normal temps for June so after the first day I went out and bought her a wet suit. She says the water is really warm but when the kids are up on skis or in a tube - brrrrr!! The high today was 67 degrees until after camp was over, then the sun decided to come out. Figures!
She will be going back to the same camp in July with a friend for regular day camp. She is already excited about that!
Wish I could get pictures of her skiing!

Kendall is such a good big sister. I am so proud of her. The other day, after Reese's surgery, Reese proceeded to throw up EVERYWHERE. I was at a loss as to what or who to clean up first. Kendall took Reese and said "don't worry mom, I will take care of her." Not many adults would do that! I know she will be just as good with her next sister. Could a mom ask for anything more?

Alright - I have been encouraged by Kendall to start a blog for her, since both her sisters have one. So I thought that both of us could add entries as it will be quite entertaining as she gets older. ( but I think that she is old enough!) So, here it goes Miss Thing!
