Cold Days, Warm Hearts

Pittsburgh has been hit with a cold front lately, with high temperatures in the teens—the kind of cold that sends us bundling up but still finding fun wherever possible.

Mordecai had his checkup for the impetigo rash that came back. He is on another antibiotic and an antibiotic cream.

I had literally never heard of impetigo until last month and now it’s at the forefront of my brain haha.

He’s a trooper!
