The Latest Victim, Asian Cooking Class and Fall Decor

It's Lucey's turn. I'm so sad she is sick. She has been so healthy the last 18 months she has been with us. On Tuesday afternoon she felt so warm. I took her temperature and it was 103. Yesterday I took her to the pediatrician and she has the dreaded ear infection and bright red throat. With only one ear, her doctor decided to be aggressive and start her on an antibiotic. The first one that I'm aware of. I'm not a fan of antibiotics; I know they save lives but they are over prescribed. Lucey could have a viral infection, the doctor is not sure. Antibiotics can't distinguish between the good and bad bacteria....but, what if a secondary infection starts? What if her one ear drum bursts? So the pros out weight the cons right now.

She has been the best patient. When her fever spikes....she is down for the count. When her temp. is about 100....she is up and moving. She is having a little trouble hearing. :-(

She is watching her show.

Adam went to one class this morning and then school was canceled. There was a water problem in the town where he goes to school....The Department of Health and Environment issued a boil order for the city.

He called and asked if he good bring is adorable girlfriend home for the afternoon. Lin and Adam went grocery shopping and Lin gave Adam an Asian cooking lesson.

Lin didn't want to get her pretty sweater dirty so Adam let her borrow his Cardinal t-shirt. Our favorite team!

They are making dumplings...

They made a bunch to share with The Troops.

Lin is just beautiful, especially on the inside. So easy to talk to and so polite. Lin is a bording student from China and is helping Adam with his Chinese. Lucey adores her and Lin is the sweetest with her.

I couldn't stay and cook with them, Lucey had her doctor's appointment. They served me when I got home. It was so delicious! The twins were delighted when they got home to the special treat!

They let me snap a picture before they headed back to campus. Adam had soccer practice.

Our weather has been beautiful so it's been very unfortunate that I have been stuck inside for the most part. With my pneumonia (I'm feeling better every day) and now Lucey....today we will go for a walk. She could use some fresh air and I could use some exercise.

Anyway....I got out some of our fall decor and had fun changing things up in the house. This place needs some work. I've only been able to get the bare necessities accomplished...like laundry and meals. So while Lucey was napping...I got to work and had a good time. The Troops loved the changes I made and gave me so many compliments. I'm glad I made them happy.

xoxoxo,
