So I used to get onto Adria all the time - "You need to blog more" I would say! Well now she is saying that to me. So yeah, it's been a while and I'm sorry. But anyways - here I am blogging...YAY!!!!!
I had to take Colby and Eli to the doctor yesterday. Colby has double ear infections and the doctor put him on antibiotics. Eli is a little congested but hopefully it will go away. He weighed 8.5 pounds today so he has gained over two pounds in three weeks.
We are so excited about the Christmas season....all of the lights, parties, family time and everything that is a part of this wonderful time of year. Colby is so excited about Santa Clause this year and of course Eli could care less!
Shad's gone to the deer lease for a few days so the boys and I are just gonna hang out this weekend. The lighted Christmas parade is Saturday night so we are looking forward to that. I am really missing being home with Colby these days. He's growing up so fast and I feel like I am missing so much. Hopefully something will change soon...either he can start coming to work with me more or maybe I can stay home with him more. We'll see - maybe you can add that to your prayer list if you don't mind.
Here are a few pictures that I thought you might enjoy!
Shad and Colby went on a walk through the woods early one morning a few Saturdays ago and came up on the neighbor's cull chicken pile. There were two chickens that were alive and Colby fell in love with them. When they got ready to leave, Shad told him to tell the chickens bye but he wouldn't hear of it. He wasn't leaving without a chicken...actually make that two chickens! So Shad and Colby come in and wake me up and Colby is begging to bring his chickens in the house. I, of course, say no but I really thought they were kidding. I couldn't imagine them bringing chickens to our house - I mean what are WE gonna do with live chickens??? So, I finally got up and went outside to find two, real, live chickens under the carport. They were culls so they were a little crippled, enough so that they got put into Colby's dumptruck and hauled around for a while. Colby had fun with them and all the while I am telling Shad he is gonna get some kind of disease from handling those nasty chickens. Haha! The chickens stayed at our house for a few days laid up with the dogs if you can imagine that! Finally Shad carried them away and Colby hasn't missed them so far.
Eli at 4 weeks and wide awake!
Well, until next time, I hope you stay warm and well in this crazy East Texas weather!
