Double ear infection:-(

Poor Lydia has another double ear infection. Her sleep has been off for about a week. She was a screaming mess last night and most of today. Earlier in the week, I wasn't sure if it was the cold she was getting over, teeth or her ears. It's so hard to know! The waking at night and crabby fits have gotten worse, so I brought her in to a minute clinic today. Poor thing has a double ear infection. This is her 4th one since March. As soon as we get our insurance all straightened out I'll be getting her into a doctor. I really hope she doesn't have to have tubes, but I also hate that she keeps getting the infections.

She must be getting used to the ear checks, though. She happily went to the doctor and let her look in her ears today.

Praying this is the last one!

First Day of School!

Caitlyn's first day of 8th grade was August 1st. She has been doing really well and seems to be liking the new school. She has been moved up to advanced band and is looking forward to a band trip to Disney World this year!! I'm so glad she has had such a good attitude about moving here and starting another new school.

Miss Lydia had her first day of preschool today! She was so excited about taking her Scooby Doo backpack and snack box with her.

I was a little nervous because she has not been crazy about leaving her mommy lately. She was happily playing in her new classroom until I tried to leave. Then, she broke out the tears....and screaming. :-( Her teacher said the crying lasted about 30 minutes. I guess it could have been worse, but I am hoping this isn't how we start every preschool morning! When I picked her up she was happily playing with her new friends. She told me all about playing with play-doh and going outside. I think it was a good first day!

8th grade and preschool, how did this happen? These kids are growing up too fast!

Happy 2nd Birthday Lydia!

Yesterday was Lydia's 2nd birthday. Can't believe it! She is such a fun little girl to be around. She amazes everyone by knowing her ABC's, counting, colors and talking a mile a minute!

Eric's parents have been here this week. It was awesome to have them here for the celebration. Miss Lydia was spoiled with many new toys!
