1. upper respiratory infection X6 which all required nebulizer treatments at least 3 times a day
2. ear infections x4 resulting in 2 sets of tubes
3. bronchitis
4. whooping cough
5. warts
6. sinus infections
7. bruised tail bone
8. sprained ankle
9. stomach virus
10. pus oozing ears, noses, and eyes
11. LOTS of smiles
12. OODLES of giggles
13. THOUSANDS of kisses
14. COUNTLESS hugs
15. UNFORGETTABLE "I love you"s

This has been such a rough season and it's not over yet, but how can I complain...I am blessed more than I deserve.

What a GREAT Day!

Title: Proud To Be An American

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,

with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

What the "Whoop?"

Well everybody...the diagnosis from the doctor...apparently I'm pregnant!!


JUST KIDDING!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahaha ;)


Seriously though it appears to be whooping cough...who knew?

Hi There!

I know it has been quite a long time since I posted...SORRY!!! I have pictures to post and Christmas updates. I have been sick with what I believed to be bronchitis since about Thanksgiving time and can't seem to shake it. I'm taking myself back to the doctor today to check it out again. I'll keep you posted and get some pictures on here soon! I wish you all a blessed and happy new year!!

Glue Ear?

So I took the twins in today to get tubes in their ears for chronic ear infections. They did great. Dr. Stan said that Macy has the smallest ear canals his has ever seen...she's such a peanut! He said that they both had glue ear...thick sticky pus that can only be removed surgically. This is probably why the antibiotics wouldn't clear them up. Sophie has also developed some scar tissue from all of the infections. SO happy we got the tubes!!! Pray that we can start having some sick free days!!

Oh...I really got to see a glimpse of the differences in the girls' temperaments today. Sophie happily went back with anyone who wanted to hold her and she woke up from the anesthesia without a sound...actually as soon as she opened her eyes she said "uh oh"...she's so sweet. Macy however needed the "loopy juice" to calm her so that they could get her back (picture 20 month old peanut drunk...so funny) and she woke up a terror. They couldn't have been more opposite!

Christmas # 1

Last weekend after our big holiday party, Grammy and Grampy gave the kids their Christmas presents. Sophie and Macy were very smitten with their new baby dolls. Molly adores her Tinkerbell doll and Jack will not put the Tag reader down. Thanks Grammy and Grampy...you did good.

TINKERBELL!!

Later in the week we did our annual gingerbread house construction. Jack and Molly had a blast making a huge mess and eating the candy before they could get it on the house!

Isn't she cute?!

GOOFBALL!
