Thanks Giving

So, I wrote a post last night on Giving, was told I sounded like I was on a soap box, so I took it down... lol. Not my intentions at all. I just wanted to pass the message along that there are many people who are in need of warm clothing and blankets. If you have any extra old ones hanging around your house, maybe think about donating them to people who are in need.

We had a good quick weekend. Adam worked on Friday and then again on Sunday, so it seems our weekend was kinda only 1 day long. Adam and the kids had their last winter swim meet till the new year on saturday. With no swim practice and no football games, I am not quite sure what we are going to do with our Saturdays. We went out to dinner on Saturday night and I lost the car keys. That was kinda embarassing. I have this huge purse that Angela gave to me and I threw the keys in it. Well they landed in a zipped side pocket. Adam was about to call a lock smith to see if they were locked in the car. I found them in the nick of time. :0) I felt stupid. Here are a couple pics from the weekend.

Aiden & Andrew

And of course then there is little Aiden. He finished his fourth round of a different antibiotic on Thursday. The doctor checked his ear on Wednesday when we went in for shots and said that his ear drum still had water on it but it would be fine. Wouldn't that be nice. Anyways, in watching Aidens grumpy behavior and finding a swollen lymph node on the back of his neck, I came to the conclution that his ear was still not healed. 3 months and 4 antibiotics later. Geez. Of course the next option is putting in the tubes. I am fine with that.. but will that really solve this problem? Adam reminded me about the garlic oil as a natural antibiotic, and the lobelia oil as a pain reliever. So I started them again on Friday night. That bump on the back of his neck is now half the size. So maybe, just maybe this will work. I will keep putting it in his ear at bedtime. He stinks like some garlic bread or something, but he is cute enough to make up for it.
