A is for: Autumn, Apples....and oh yes...Amoxicillin!

This has been a very busy week! Eric and the kids spent last weekend at the lake while I worked. I had Saturday all to myself and while I loved the quiet I missed the noise! I attended a double baby shower for some of my co-workers on Saturday evening. It might have been the most fun I've had at a baby shower. We played games and had lots of laughs! I made some of my burlap letters for the new babies. I love monogrammed things! My SIL Cathy did some cute burp cloths and onesies as well! Thanks Cathy!

Walt started his alphabet series at school of course starting with the letter "A". He has brought home some fun artwork and they have done many things dealing with apples this week. Today, they celebrated Johnny Appleseed's birthday!

One of the not so good things that is going on is that Walt has a double ear infection. Despite having tubes in almost 2 years ago I think they have bit the dust! Last night we got home from eating dinner at a friends house...Eric was getting Walt ready for bed when all of a sudden Walt comes flying into the bathroom talking about the blood on his finger. His poor little ear had blood oozing from it. So, after a 45 minute wait for the triage nurse to call me back Walt had fallen asleep. I went to check on him and there was blood on his pillow so Eric scooped him up and headed out into the stormy night to get to Children's South. Well, South closes at 10 p.m. so he headed downtown. Well, I guess it's a good thing that I work at the main hospital and have awesome co-workers to help me out in mommas time of worry. Eric sidetracked up to 6NW where my friend cleaned up his ear and took a look at it. Eric decided to skip the ER (and the $100 co-pay) and head for home. I took him to the pediatrician this morning and the left ear is definitely infected. He could not see the right ear drum due to the dried blood but it's either: infected, ruptured, or perforated. I will take him to the ENT next Tuesday. I hope this isn't the start of the need for Tubes Round #2. So, in the meantime 10 days of amoxicillin will hopefully get my boy feeling better! Hooray for free antibiotics from Publix!


Eric has a birthday tomorrow so we are looking forward to spending some time with him! I think a trip to GiGi's cupcakes is in order! Bring on the sugar....oh and welcome Autumn!



I just love these little hand print trees! Awesome!
