It's a little long...but well worth it!

This is for you Leesa and other friends and family that aren't close enough to see this first hand. My kids sure are growing up fast. I'm so glad I have a video camera to capture such precious moments.

Sorry Morgan doesn't seem to have made it in these videos for some reason. She was napping during Elizabeth and Haley's dance. I just can't get over how smiley and happy my baby boy is. He is such a joy.

To Shelley

I do appreciate your concern Shelley. Elizabeth did indeed have an ear infection. From the research that I've done antibiotics aren't even proven to speed up the recovery time of an ear infection. Thank you God that she is almost totally back to her happy little self. I have no doubt that she was in a tremendous amount of pain. If I could have done anything to help her I surely would have. I did take her to the Chiropractor and her neck was out. And I would torment her by pulling on her ear as the Chiro instructed me (in order to open things up for the pressure to be released). As much as she hated it, she would feel better after I would do it.

I think we are all healthy enough to be at church on Sunday. See you there!

Update

Elizabeth is feeling better. The poor thing didn't feel good enough to do anything for three days. She did manage to have the strength to cry and whine however. I desided to praise God that she was at least well enough to do that much. It's even scarier when your kids are to sick to complain. I recall when she was 12 months she was to sick to complain...my poor lathargic baby...she had the croop.

Elizabeth and Morgan are taking turn complaining about their ears. I'm pretty sure the worst is behind me know though. It all makes me grateful for health!

Sick Kids

The girls have had a cold for a week or so. Haley is pretty much over it but Elizabeth and Morgan got an ear infection. Elizabeth is so miserable. Her ear started bleeding yesturday. I took her to the doc and they said it all looks normal. This is my first experience with an ear infection so I just wanted to make sure all was normal. Even though I read it is common to have blood drain from the ear when there is an ear infection it is still a little on the freaky side...especially when your daughter is whinning and crying almost non stop. That's a little taxing. Poor thing. Of course they gave her a perscription for an antibiotic but from what I've read it's not even proven to help. So unless the drainage turns green and smelly we'll let her body do what God created it to do.

Thank you Jesus for protecting Isaac thru all the snotty noses. He has not gotten sick!
