We are alive

I just thought I should tell you all, that yes, we are alive still. Barely. I've thought of some posts I should do lately, but haven't had the energy. Seriously. Just over two weeks ago, Jordan got a cold that turn into viral bronchitis, thanks to her asthma. She was kept home from school for a few days because she could hardly breath, and I'm not one of those moms who sends her kids to school that sick (though a kid that sits awfully close to her is... ggggrrrrrr!). So two weeks ago today, I caught Jordan's cold. By Sunday of that week, I was so sick, I ended up going in to an Urgent Care here. If you could have seen my throat, it looked exactly like strep. The test came back negative, so they just sent me home to heal. Oh yeah, by that Sunday (Feb 13) Liam had also come down with this cold. Two days later, my ear plugs up so I can't hear out of my right ear. Thankfully two days later and Liam is doing considerably better, and I am slowly improving. Thursday, Jordan wakes up for school, and starts throwing up. Great. Finally this past Tuesday, I made it in to the doctor, and he finally put my on antibiotics. I have an ear infection and a mycoplasma. The good part is that Ty somehow didn't manage to get any of whatever we had. I feel so blessed though that on the days I needed him to stay home, he was able to. So, I feel like there is a point now to finally start disinfecting my house and come out of quarentine! I hope everyone has been healthier than our family. My next post will have some pictures. I promise.

All I want for...... Valentine's Day???

Is Jordan's two front teeth!!
We had to pull her remaining front tooth last week. The new tooth had pushed this tooth so far down that there was a gap between her tooth and her gums. I was worried food would start getting in there and making it infected, so we pinned her down, literally, and Ty pulled it out. It didn't hurt her because the tooth has been dead since she fell two and a half years ago, and the root of the tooth has been gone for a while also. Her tooth fairy must love her a lot, because so far, for the three teeth we've pulled, she's (actually our tooth fairy is a guy...) left Jordan $5 a tooth! Sheesh. Ty tells me it's inflation. LOL. Anyway, back to the tooth. Jordan begged us to let her take it to school and share it with her class. So even though the tooth fairy didn't get her tooth, she got her money the first night. She was terrified that no one would like her anymore, so that night, I sent a picture to my mom asking her to call Jordan and tell her she was still beautiful. I also asked her teacher Mrs. Miller to ensure Jordan that she still liked her. So... If any of you would like to say that you still like Joey, that would be appreciated. I think she's feeling better about the whole thing because she can actually see the permanent tooth that's coming. I'm pretty sure she was worried she'd be living with this gap for another 2.5 years. Poor girl.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but Liam is a climber. He doesn't scale bookshelves yet... well, at least not all the way up. His new favorite thing to do is to climb up to the second shelf in one of our little bookshelves. And then he lays there and plays. He got himself wedged in there the other day where he couldn't move at all. It was actually kind of funny.
