Another Post?

Yep, 2 posts in one week....CRAZY!!!

The kids are watching Santa Claus II so I might as well download and post some pics from today.

I wish they would start the kid's movies at 7 instead of 8 but I'm not in charge and I guess it is Friday night.

Dave is working tonight then off the next two nights..which is really good since I am not quite ready for Christmas yet.

We are still struggling with colds and coughs here. Seems like they are really holding on this time. We realize there that we overall are healthy and these are very minor struggles compared to what some of our friends are going through. So, I won't and cannot complain but just posting a little update and a few cute pics.

Dave took Marina and Lauren to the Dr. on Wednesday and our normal Dr. wasn't in so we had a "fill in." Lauren has an ear infection and gross cough so we are hoping the antibiotic will help with both. The Dr. told Dave to "watch" Marina and bring her back in on Monday if she isn't any better. She has had a runny nose for a month and a cough for 2 weeks.

Sure enough last night about 11 she started coughing really bad and sounding like a "seal." Dave left work and came home to take her in at about 1. Sure enough, croup and bronchiolitis. So, we are doing the breathing treatment thing here for the next several days or week. She is such a trooper and loves to show the other girls how brave she is. They clap and then she claps! pretty cute. She is also not too sick to enjoy an oreo cookie.

"Porter" our elf is also "doing his thing" these days. He has really been watching the girls this year and Emma has been writing letters to him to see how she is doing. :)

And, I was doing a little more baking tonight and forgot the burner was still hot.... oh well.
