Baby Micah is 10 months!

Yesterday he marked the milestone...

(This is especially for Granny Cheryl and Ari...so glad to know that you're reading! :) )


I'm still a bit yucky, but much better. I can easily swallow fudgesicles and fruitsicles and other cold goodies. I even tried a hot baked potato for lunch. Maybe by tomorrow, I'll be back to normal?

My parents have the kids :)

and I have strep throat. :(

The habenero chips didn't work. But the pencillin is finally beginning to kick in. And I've ODed on enough Motrin in the past two days, that I should never have to feel pain again.

Now, as long as I don't cough, yawn, talk, move my head the wrong way, close my eyes, swallow or breathe, I feel fine. ;)

Hopefully I'll be up and running by the beginning of next week.

Sore Throat Remedy

My dear, sweet husband, who was very concerned about my sore throat, brought home some Comtrex (miracle medicine!), popsicles and these chips:

He swears they will burn the soreness right out of my throat.

They at least numbed it so that I could swallow comfortably for the first time in days. Who knew? :)

Growing a Garden

Yesterday evening we broke ground on CG's garden. Our tomoato seedlings are developing nicely (I think, nothing has happened yet), so we thought it best to prepare the soil for other seeds. We'll be planting cucumbers and carrots, too. We also have high hopes for a tiny pumpkin patch and a few canteloupe. CG and her daddy dug into and turned over the topsoil and then added some generic fertilizer. We honestly don't know exactly what we're doing :) but we sure are having a lot of family fun in the process.
