Good news! I took Eric to the doctor yesterday and hopefully have him all squared away. He has double ear infections and the beginnings of bronchitis. Luckily we caught it in time so he just has a yucky cough now that should be going away soon. I had to take him to care now last month and they misdiagnosed him with swimmer's ear. So, while the medicines helped a little, it still didn't clear up. Hopefully now he'll get all cleared up and start feeling 100% better soon.

We also have hot water now so we are no longer the Clampits (sp?). The part for our hot water heater came in tonight so we don't have to boil hot water in order to bathe! Yay! Man, modern convenience sure is taken for granted until we no longer have them!

On a good note, I am completely finished with my Christmas cards and pictures. I went to Walmart yesterday and printed them out. They came out so great! I'm really excited to have a good camera after having a sucky one for so long. I'll upload some pics soon.

Ok, so maybe I'm not as good at this as I thought I would be. It seems that I am only good at updating this when I am home sick. Today Eric is sick again. It doesn't help that it was 70 degrees yesterday and 30 today. I think he has another ear infection and some kind of throat infection. The poor guy. He's 10 now, I thought they grew out of this sort of thing by now. Oh yeah, and our hot water heater decided to go out again today. Why does this always happen when it is freezing outside?

Well, Christmas is just about here and we have such crazy schedules now that seem to go along with this time of year. Breanna's big dance performance is this weekend. She is practicing everynight from 5:30 to 8:30. But, she enjoys dance and I know she'll have a good time this weekend. Especially at the after party. Maya, our Chihuahua is so cold right now. When she gets cold she likes to sit on your feet so she doesn't have to touch the floor. She has been buried under the blankets with Eric all morning. It works out for both of them, keeping each other warm. The day after Christmas we are going down to see my Grandaddy for the first time ever (long story) and we will have to leave Maya behind. Carlos' mom has volunteered to watch her while we are gone. Maya is deaf and if you don't stay on top of taking her outside, she will have accidents. I'm not so sure how this will go over with my father-in-law. I'm sure Catalina is going to enjoy spoiling her though and everything will be fine.
TTFN! Gotta get ready to take Eric to the dr.
