So Much Better ...

She still has some redness under her left eye and the doctor said she still has some clear fluid on her right ear, but on the whole, she is SO much better. She is feeling and acting much more herself now. The only draw back is a wicked diaper rash she has from all the antibiotics. Hopefully this will pass quickly. Anyways, here she is today in Bubba's boots. She was trying so hard to put them on by herself, but in the end she needed a little help. She stomped around the house for a few minutes and was so pleased with herself. Then Bubba saw her and brought her, her own boots so that he could have his back. Luckily she took the bait and everyone was happy!
 
 

The Never Ending Sickness

Bailey had to go back to the doctor AGAIN today and get ANOTHER shot of rocephin! Her eye is looking much better, but still has an ear infection. We have to go back tomorrow for another check of her ears and potentially another shot (that would be her third). Poor girl can't catch a break.

My Lil Trooper

Cissy caught the flu that I have had all week. She is running a high fever, snotty, congested, vomitting, barely eats or drinks, and on top of all that she has an ear infection (again)! Oh, and it looks like someone just about blacked her little eye. Every time she wakes up, it is literally swollen shut. But through it all, she just wants to be held and sleeps. What a champ! She's barely had any medication for her fever and the doctor said that if she can handle we should let her. She's my hero!

The Hair-Pulling Saga

The Bald Spot: this is the spot the LJ pulls out his hair. Not really on purpose, but at the same time he can't really just stop either. The only solution really is to shave his head.
 
Here is the before:
 
And here he is, freshly scalped:
 

Our Poor Little Snowman

We really tried, but the snow just wouldn't pack. But the kids were happy with what we had.

Can You Hear Me?

From time to time I wonder if anyone is ever reading what I write or bothers to even glance at the pictures I post. So if you do, take a moment and leave a comment. Just so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself (not that I don't talk to myself all the time anyway).

Disclamer - Mom and Nana please do not call me and tell me you look at the blog all the time, I know you do. And you know that I am not talking to you ;)

Cissy's First Snow!!

L.J. has been praying for snow ever since we told him that Jesus made all the snow and kept it in a big barn (Job 38:22 "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail,.." Job 37:6 "He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.'"). Well Jesus finally sent him some snow and he was SO excited! Cissy, of course, ate the snow, got really cold and was ready to come back inside. L.J. and Daddy stayed out until they were both frozen solid and even then John had to bribe him with hot chocolate.
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

My crazy girl, won't wear a hat, but will wear a clown wig. Go figure?!?
 
 
 
What a sweet boy! You never see them together like this, because the stupid beast bites my kids all the time. Which for some completely inexplicable reason my parents find acceptable.
