Our house is officially for sale!

Our house is officially listed. We will see if it sells. We don' t have a definte plan on where we will go if it sells, but I don't know how fast it will sell in this economy. Heck of a house for the price. We love this old house...but it is time for a change.

Below is the link to the listing and the pictures.

Bead up the nose!!

So for days now, Zoe has been complaining about her nose hurting. There was no green snot just clear goop running from her nose. So, I reluctantly called the pediatrician yesterday. They were too busy to see us and just called in a perscription to swap her nose with. I then kept trying to get her to blow her nose and she kept crying that her nose hurt.

This morning when I went to get her...there was a yucky snotty small ball in her bed. As you can tell from the title..there was (well we think that's what it was) a bead up her nose.

Why didn't she just tell me there was something up her nose???? I asked her and she just shrugged her shoulders. Then I asked her what was that and she just shrugged her shoulders.

We may never know how long or what that actually was up her nose!

Jayden is 1 today!

Jayden is 1 year old today! He is changing rooms at school from the infant to the next class up. Sad in a way, but good that he is rejoining his friends.

He started saying uh-oh this morning!

Love this quote...

Jayden turns 1 next week....

Jayden was not a happy camper when we got these pictures taken! He was crying and fussing like I have never seen him do before. I know he was tired, but I also think we was scared of the flash. Can you believe he will be the BIG 1 next week. Wow...the last year just flew by.

Methicillin Resistant Staph aureus (MRSA)

Zoe has had an ear infection since Labor Day weekend. After numerous trips to the pediatrician, I finally took her to Cincinnati Children's. They had to drain out her one ear, which was running with goo in her right ear. The same right ear lost its PE tube Friday morning. The other ear was full of wax and once the doctor dug it out, we discovered that PE tube was just sitting against the ear drum and had fallen out as well.

The culture came back and she has been diagnosed with MRSA. It is not contagious like other strains of MRSA. It is just contained to the ear.

Pretty serious stuff!

We are now on our fifth antibiotic and 4 weeks. I hope this does the trick.
