The Dreaded Strep!

Unfortunately Gregory has had strep for a week and a half and is now on his 2ND dose of Zithromax. Both times the doses were diagnosed wrong for him. He wasn't taking enough for a boy his weight. I got sick and went to my family doctor and he is the one that figured that much out for us. I refuse to go back to the pediatrician. We are all now using my family doctor. He is great. I now have strep as well! YUCK! This stuff really knocks you down! Gregory and I spent the whole day in bed.(besides going to the Dr) I am sure we will do the same tomorrow. Please pray for us all to get healthy and stay healthy. Robert especially needs to stay well as he is in charge of a huge project that has to be finished really soon at work! Your prayers are greatly appreciated and I hope and pray you all are staying healthy yourself. The sickness started rather early for us this year. I just hoping this means we are getting it out of the way early! Thanks again for your prayers.

Fall is in the air!





Sunday after getting ready for church I realized that Audrey and I matched. Since fall is here I decided our yard would be a great backdrop for pictures of us together. It was fun. Audrey always enjoys picture taking. This morning we woke up to find the mountains had been dumped with snow. There was literally no snow on some of them just last night but this morning they were covered heavily at least a fourth of the way down. It is amazing to watch the transition into fall/winter. Hope you all are doing well!

Eric's 8th Birthday!



Wow, what a celebration Eric had for his 8th b-day! His birthday was last Sunday. With it being a Sunday we waited til the following Friday for his party. So Sunday we gave him his Cubs jersey and went out to eat after church. On Monday he took cookies to school and then Friday was the party. His party was the Chicago Cubs theme. He came up with the idea to invite a bunch of boys and play a baseball game. Everyone was excited about this game until it rained us out. Needless to say having 10 boys that are from 6-11 years old in our home was quite the excitement. Poor Audrey and Alena were the only 2 girls. So we came up with some balloon games to play, had cake, opened presents, and smashed the pinata. Everyone had a really great time. Although it was 2 of the longest hours of my life. Boys will be boys! It is hard to believe he is now 8 years old.
