Short update.

Well, no pictures to post...sorry. Last Thursday I took the kids up to Saint Joe- we saw my dad and ate lunch with my grandma, cousin Jared and his wife Amanda. Then we went swimming at a childhood friend's parents' house. It was a blast! They had a slide and a diving board. Both of the kids did the slide! That night Mira mentioned in passing, "My ear hurts." I thought, ok sure, there's probably water in there. The same thing happened the next night after her being absolutely fine the entire day. "My ear hurts." The next night when B was brushing her teeth she started crying about how it hurt. Brooks finally says to me, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?" So I looked, and much to my surprise, pus was leaking out of her ear! AH! I had some antibiotic drops so I started those on Saturday night and decided to see what happened. Sunday it was more of the same- pus pus pus. ICK! After church I took her to the minute clinic at CVS. They told me that the drops were the right thing to do since she has tubes and isn't running a fever or really acting sick (her temp was 99). So we continued and sent her to school yesterday. Well, when B picked her up from school her temp was 101.5! Woops! I had to page Dr. M last night to give me some oral antibiotics. Her ear still looks terrible this morning, but hopefully we'll be on the mend. She is at Pepper's today so she can rest a bit more than at school. Crazy!

I don' t think much else has really been happening. This thursday Aunt Molly will be here. Mira is pretty excited. Molly and I will be cleaning out my dad's apartment. Should be fun job, eh? Good thing Dairy Queen is just down the road.

Griffy is doing fine. He still won't eat at school. I asked him what I was supposed to tell Dr. M when she's mad at me because he doesn't grow. I said, "Are you gonna tell her you won't eat?" He said, "Yes, I tell her. I no eat lunch." Nice. At least he's honest!
