Updates and Valentines

Well, I thought I would update you since my last post. I think I told you about Brenna and Brandon being sick, and also about Brenna's little accident with her tooth. Well, Brandon finally got well and is doing great. Brenna was diagnosed with a sinus infection and the beginning of an ear infection. She had a very rough week that week, but I'm thankful that she too is now well and doing great! That same week that Brenna was sick, Bethany got the flu, and by the end of the week, she had double ear infections. So, we've had our share of sickness since the start of a new year, and I'm ready for all of us to be healthy and stay that way for a while. Right now, everyone is great, and I'm rejoicing in that!!

About Brenna's tooth: We thought we would have her tooth pulled because of the injury to it (see last post for more details). But, she saw the dentist this week and he said the tooth has tightened up, is not as dark, and actually looks great right now. So, we decided to leave it alone and let it come out when it's ready. Brenna was very glad, because she had already told me, "Mommy, nobody is taking out my tooth!!" I'm thankful I didn't have to fight that battle!

I thought I would post a few Valentine pictures. My girls were both sick and missed their Valentine parties at preschool, but they were very excited when their daddy brought home all their Valentine goodies. Brandon and Bradley both had fun parties at school.

Here is a sweet picture of Brenna helping me get she and Bethany's Valentines ready to send to her friends at school.

Here is Bradley at his "Cookie Decorating" Valentine Party at school. Loads of fun and lots of sugar.

Here is Brandon showing off all his loot at his Valentine Party.

This picture has nothing to do with Valentine's Day, but I didn't have a Valentine picture of Bethany. So, here is Bethany and her best buddy, Kenlie at Pajama Day at preschool.

I'll close for now. Be on the lookout for more to come. Soccer season and baseball season have begun. Bradley and Brenna are playing soccer, and Brandon is playing baseball. So, I'm certain there will be more posts along with photos in the days ahead. Thanks for reading!!
