Ok, so it's been a while. But back by popular demand........PICS!! But first, a little update in our lives. I took Nate into the doctor's office on Thursday 9/21 because of red spots all over his body that had spread. There were even some that looked like ant bites; however, I knew it was not ant bites. There were too many; it was entirely impossible for him to have bitten by that many ants and me NOT know about it. So the doctor looks him over, runs a CBC and says it's Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (for more info, click on the link). No biggie. Works like chicken pox..........its contagious until the red spots blister and burst. So, he is FINALLY not contagious when what do I hear? A cough. Ugh. He's sick again. This was Tuesday 9/26. Sunday 10/1, we wake up, and Nate cries for like 2 hours straight, which is so unlike him. I called the doctor's office and after the nurse told me to just give him Tylenol and see what happens, I worked it out so that we could come in. Good thing. Nate had an ear infection in his right ear, plus, I told the dr. that I thought his coughs were a bit wheezy, and since last time he was sick and was diagnosed with bronchiolitis (click on the link for more info), I was concerned. Sure enough, there was wheezing........the dr. even let me use the stethoscope to hear it (Wow, that was soooooo cool, unfortunately though, since it was Nate's lungs that sounded like that). So he's been on neubulizer treatments since Sunday (since it was the second time he's had this happen), and antibiotics for his ear infection. Now we just have to keep close eyes on him each time he gets sick to see if this happens again. Hopefully not. Anyway, Grace is also sick, but shes a tough cookie and has an immune system that is as strong as an Ox.
Not much else to report. I will end my boring blog here. Without further ado...........your pictures!This is Grace getting ready to walk out the door on her first day of school

Your kids are soooo grown up!
How does Gracie like school? Looking forward to seeing you sometime!
She LOVES school a lot!! She's always asking to go on her days off. Looking forward to seeing you, too......it will be soon I'm sure.
It looks like Gracie has her coffee and is ready for work! She is growing up too fast!
And yes it is 2:15 in the morning. I'm in the ED working - we have a slow run - that is the only time I get a chance to catch up on everyone's blongs.
