Here I Am!

As you may have noticed, I have not been here for a while. We went to SD to visit Dave's family over the Thanksgiving Holiday. We were gone a total of 10 days. It was a lot of fun visiting everybody. I think the girls really liked it. In fact, one day during the visit, Amanda said she didn't want to leave. I asked her if she was sure. She would miss her pre-school and she said..."I can go to pre-school here."

We spent some time at our cousin Megan and Derek's house....oh, yeah, we visited with Al and Lori, too. :0) Amanda and Megan were hardly seen the entire time they were together. They got along so well. When they were apart for a few days, Amanda kept asking when Megan was coming. So, cute. I'm glad they get along so well. Derek was great with the girls, too. I think he liked playing with Sarah, too. He's really good with the little ones.

The only downer to the vacation was that both girls, and to a lesser extent, Dave and I, all got sick while we were over there. Amanda came down with a really high fever, 104.1, on Mon. and Sarah got the same 104 temp on Thurs. Happy Thanksgiving. We thought Amanda was getting better, but the night before we left, she spiked a 103 temp. at the hotel. She still has a temp. today. We've been to the Dr. and she said Amanda has a red ear, not infected, but her right lung sounds bad. So, she's on Azithromiacin (I know I spelled that wrong) She hates taking it. Thank goodness it's only once a day. I tasted a drop of it and it is truly awful. It tastes like bubble gum at first and then the after taste hits. It's like someone put cleaning fluid in your mouth. I think I'm going to call the pharm. and see if that's what it's supposed to taste like.
Yuck, :P ! While I was brushing Amanda's teeth this morn. I had her open real wide and saw Awwww, and I saw a bunch of little white spots on the back of her throat, so I'm wondering if she has strep. I wish the Dr.'s office would call me back so I can take her in...again.

Boy, it seems the girls are sick all the time now. I hope that means they'll have healthy immune sys. when grade school comes along.

I got back in time to get my Antique pic.'s. I need to scan them and let you see them. They turned out pretty good. I'll do that on another post. Gotta go check on the munchkins. Hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving.
