And I am way behind on posting. I will start from the present and go back...
Paige and Braden preformed in a Christmas Choir performance last night. They both did great.
Zach performed for choir last week and did great as well. Zach also has a band performance this week.
We have a very busy schedule this December between, work, school and church parties.
Hope had a doctors appointment on Monday because of a cold that just won't leave. 45 minutes before the appointment she swallowed a dime and got got in her throat. She turned red, i hit her on the back she started to breathe, threw up a little, went red again, repeated process about 4 times. Thank goodness Loren had the day off and was there to help. We put her in the car to head to the ER and decided to stop at the doctors office instead because she was breathing okay by then. The doctor checked her out and gave her an antibiotic to clear up a sinus infection and ordered us to the hospital for x-rays to make sure the dime was in her stomach and not stuck in her throat. The dime showed up nice and bright on the x-ray-in her stomach.
I don't think she will eat money again.
I am trying to get caught up on house work and Christmas shopping, after having a horrible sinus infection for more than 7 weeks. I was on 2 kinds of antibiotics and then on a weeks worth of oral steroids. Each helped some but didn't clear it up altogether. So the doctor ordered a CT scan. Infection is gone but my sinuses are very swollen. They don't want to give me more steroids, I just have to wait it out. I feel a little better every day.
We hosted Thanksgiving this year. Mom told me that no one was coming to her house because they all had other plans. So we invited her and Dad, Rob and Chris to our house. It was a fun,small get together.
We didn't have as much food as when we all get together but between mom and me, we had plenty. No one starved.
Halloween was fun. Paige threw a party for her friends and dressed as a Diva Angel. Both Ethan and Parker dressed as ninja's. Hope was a cute little witch. Paige took Hope out trick or treating. Hope thought it was the greatest thing ever. She started taking candy out of our candy bowl and putting it in her bag. You can't have to much, you know.
Hope is 2! We had a family party for her and ate corn dogs and fries. We then went to Trafalga for games and rides. Hope loves the carousal and plane ride. She also likes to miniature golf. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. It seems only a short time a go that we brought her home.
I will post picture's later.
