Whatcha doin?

Well, we were hit with a superbug that didn't want to go away. In early January Xavien was diagnosed with a massive sinus infection and it took 3 rounds of antibiotics to get rid of it. Ivie came down with what we thought was a cold but turned out to be a double ear infection. The dr. said that there was so much fluid in her ears that she spent the month of Jan. basically deaf. It took 2 rounds of different antibiotics to get rid of the ear infection. Luckily her hearing is fine now and although she is vulnerable to another bad ear infection for about a month, we are optimistic. My kids fall under the 'show no signs' of ear infections (at least none of the typical ones) but between all three kids we have had a total of 5 ear infections in their lives.

Everyone probably knows I am what you call an obessive reader. It is a bit of a joke in my in-laws family that I will always have a book with me, every picture taken I am reading etc etc. I think you get the point...I love to read! My ereading device broke this week which is incredibly sad. (Yes, I know, I am pathetic! But I used the ereader every day!) SOOOO what free time I have had recently has been spent researching ereading devices and trying to find one that doesn't cost an INSANE amount.

Matthew got to go to the Charlotte Bobcats basketball game. He had a lot of fun and even got to meet the cheerleaders! :)

So now that the kids are healthy, we are a happy family!

Terrific Kid


Kanayla received a Terrific Kid award in school last month! We are very proud of her and her efforts in school. The pics did not turn out too great...we are in no way professional photographers.

Ivie's Hair



I promised a pictures so here it is! Seriously, I have braided Ivie's hair at least three times because she has a never-ending ear infection right now.
