Goodness!

I just posted on FB that I seem to be in the doc's office once a week, but it's not that it SEEMS that way... it IS that way. After a run in with a ravioli can, Eli lost a toenail. It was gruesome and the toe got infected. That led to impetigo. He was on an antibiotic and is now better. But as brothers share EVERYTHING, Owen now has it. This is one GROSS disease!! ugh. So Owen now has his antibiotic and I hope that's better soon. I won't post pics cause I don't want to gross you out!

It's conference week, although they are quite time consuming, I love them and seeing the parents talk about their kiddos is always fun.

Paul is travleling a lot still, but we had the whole weekend together, the first in a month!! It's so nice when he's here :)

Owen has his tube surgery scheduled for November 3rd. I love my ENT and he said he is an excellent candidate with low to moderate hearing loss. I'm not nervous, but I'm sure I will be soon.

Eli turns 4 next week. Holy cow, how did that happen???? I'm in denial LOL. We'll discuss next week I guess :)

Catching up

It's been so long!!

The kids are great :) Eli still continues to make tremendous progress at school!!! I think some of it might be that he's almost four now, but I also think he's just happier at the new place. He's been talking about all the things he's learning these days and I'm so happy with the results. We made breakfast for dinner in the middle of a crazy storm today. When it was over, it was still raining while the sun was out. He thought that was really cook, he told me he was going to tell his teacher tomorrow. I thought that was really sweet :)

Owen is finally cruising around the furniture. He hasn't attempted walking on his own, but he's moving around just fine as it is, thank you. He and Eli are building a relationship and it's so cute! He only wants to be where Eli is and is enamored by him. He thought it was hilarious tonight that Eli was jumping from rock to rock. Owen just laughed and laughed!! And Eli likes him around too, except when he doesn't want to share his toys. This seems to be most of the time however...

We have the consult for Owen's tubes in about a week. Hopefully the surgery will be short and sweet and he'll do well. I don't plan on it being crazy... but you never know.

School is good. We fnish the six weeks tomorrow, it sure has gone quickly! I look forward to things calming down a bit soon. (I think it should have by now, but for some reason, it hasn't.)

Paul is still traveling and we are getting better at handling it. I'm very stingy with my weekends though and I need to get better about his having to leave. ergh.

That's it for now :)
