My sweet girl is sick. She has a chest, nasal, and double ear infection. Savanna is on antibiotics and is taking Motrin to keep the fever down.

The shade was reddish brown
But when it was time to color again

When I have time alone (on my way to work) I ask myself “what core values do I want to instill in Savanna and how will I go about teaching her these core values? ”Compassion” is very high on my list. And, now that Savanna has been known to bite other kids (2-3 times), push and shove “the pugs” on a daily basis, [...]
