After Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving went by way too fast. We had a good time with our families and friends. I hope every one's holiday was wonderful.

Congrats to Amanda and Dray-Christian Caulder was born Sunday November 25 weighing 8.5lbs and everyone is doing good.

Here are a couple of pictures of our Thanksgiving.

Sophie, Sam, and Addy

These girls just won't cooperate.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Well Taylor has strep throat so I doubt that they will be coming over tonight after all. I don't want Addy to get another illness nor do I want it. Anyway, I hope everyone has a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Please remember our men and women who are serving our country in various locations and all of those people who don't have family and who are having rough times right now. Be safe and happy. Don't let the holiday stress get to you. Sit back, relax and enjoy the family--after all that's what it is about. If you go shopping on Friday don't get mad or frustrated enjoy the time let the spirit of the season guide you. I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR. Especially now that I have a family of my own. Love makes all the difference!!!!!

MORE DRAMA

Okay Addy now has hand, foot and mouth disease. She looks like a walking blister. She has thousands of tiny blisters all over her. Mom kept telling me that she thought that was what it was, but I didn't think so because it was all over her. Mom and I took her to the Pediatric Night Clinic last night and that is what it is. They did give us some cream, but it still looks pretty bad. I also have two midterms to take today because we had the kids all weekend. Mark and Lynn had a discussion last night that didn't go to well. End result-we won't be getting the kids for Christmas because Greasy Bob is coming to town even though she asked last year to get to keep them for their first Christmas without them being married. That is okay though. She WON'T ever get any more favors from us.

Addy's Sick Again

Bless her heart. Yesterday the call came in around 2pm from daycare and the director told me she needed to talk to me for a minute. They said she hadn't went to the bathroom all day not even a dribble and that she had just started vomiting. Out the door I went to pick her up and take her to the doctor after 7 days of upset stomach. Conclusion: a urinary tract infection and a yeast infection probably coming from the upset stomach she has had. We are on Omnicef and Cultrelle(I don't think that is how you spell that). Hopefully we will get out of this funk soon. Happy Friday.

My Little Turkey

Well I don't know how many of you know that Addy has a hard time at school with crafts because she eats them. I know it's crazy, but she did finish a craft project yesterday and it is the VERY FIRST one that I have ever gotten. I was so PROUD of her. They did say that she did try and eat the crayons, but ended up making it to the end. Here it is:

I know that only a child's mother can TRULY appreciate their artwork and know that it is beautiful. I hope that she does get some of the family's artistic talents.

Doodle the Penguin

I know it took a long time for me to post these, but here is Doodle as a Penguin. Grammy made the costume several years ago for Breanna and I kept it and now my baby girl got to show it off. THANK YOU GRAMMY
