Happiness

Happiness means different things to different people at different times. Today we find our definition of happiness in Psalms 127: 3-5, which says:

"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them. . ."

We are happy to add to our already full quiver!!


Expected arrival for this little arrow is October 19, 2011.

Medicine Anyone?

How many bottles of Amoxicillin do you have in your refrigerator?


We have 6!
Plus all this in the cupboard too:



As you can guess it's not been a fun two weeks at our house. In 10 days time we have had 8 visits to the doctor and 7 to the pharmacy. Most of the trips to the pharmacy took an hour or more. Gotta love military pharmacies! :)
Derek is the only one in the family who hasn't been sick but since he escorted most of us to the doctor he has actually "seen" more doctors than any of us. (Ha! Ha!) Anyway, Andrew, Brian, and I all had strep throat, Kylie had double ear infections, Philip had bronchitis, and Timothy had an upper respiratory infection. Andrew also had an allergic reaction to his Amoxicillin and was covered in a rash from head to toe. Poor kid-- just another thing to add to his already long list of allergens. So, we have had lots of fevers, sore throats, coughing and some itching at our house. We have gone through two whole bottles of children's Tylenol. Since we all started our medicine everyone is on the mend and appears to be getting better. Now we are just hoping that Derek won't ever have his turn. Here's to hoping!!
