Goofy!

Latoya, Kaylee, Kelsey, and Jordan

this picture says it all. they were all playing with their glasses that they got in their christmas goodie bags from church and i couldn't help but take a picture.

anyway, on to the news. well, there actually is once again not too much to report. the girls went to the e.n.t. (ear, nose, throat) specialist on monday. i had been thinking that kelsey had another ear infection as she had been playing with her ears, but when they got to the e.n.t. to have them checked, he said both of the girls ears were completely dry.....no fluid!!!!! this is a miracle! from the day the girls turned one (they got their first ear infection on their first b-day), they have had fluid in their ears. this is why they had so many recurrent ear infections, because even though the fluid would be clear (meaning no infection), it would never go away, so it would get infected again quickly. the dr. was very happy with how they looked as was i. he said she may have been playing with her ears just because she can hear soo much better without all that fluid in there and it is new to her. i don't care why she is playing with it as long as she doesn't have an infection. also while we were there, the same dr. had seen kaylee for the lumos on her jawline and he was very pleased to see that those are actually getting smaller. i hadn't noticed till he said something about them. he thinks the medication she is taking for the tb is what is making them go away. now if it would only work on the birthmark she has! anyway, she is still doing good on the inh with no signs of it affecting her at all. we will keep praying that it stays that way. we were told that if it hadn't affected her yet, that it whouldn't at all, but there is still a slight chance, so keep her in your prayers.

on to other news, i have all of the kids presents wrapped and ready to go. i usually wrap all of them the night before, but i decided i was going to get it done early this year. it's kinda nice to be able to relax a little. i think i'll do it again next year. i can't beleive christmas is only 5 days away. it literally just zoomed right in. i love christmas even thought i don't get presents anymore. i love to see my kids excited, it makes me excited. makes me remember the good "ole" days. here are some more pics i took on that same sunday as above, but in the morning before church. i had forgotten about these dresses that i had gotten them for christmas, so they wore them last sunday. have a great evening and a very merry christmas in case i don't update till after. here are the pics(i also included one of jordan in his train hat):
