Another Day, Another Copay...

:::::::::::::::Medical Update::::::::::

Eve has a middle ear infection and sinus infection on the right side. She was thrilled to hear she would be taking the same kind of medicine as Noah. Crazy kids!
Eve and I saw a nurse practioner instead of her primary care because he was booked up. He did walk by as we were leaving and we told him that Eve wanted to be just like her big brother, except we didn't find any eraser in the left ear. He laughed.

Michael told Noah he was an amoxicillan sommelier because he stood there appearing to discern the bouquet and color of his 2 tsp dose. Noah finished up his last dose this morning. Fortunately he stood up well to the news.

::::::::::::::::::::::Book Review:::::::::::

Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton



I just finished reading this one to the kids. My paperback version is actually the 1971 printing. I edited the swear words as I read. The kids were mostly interested in the baby that is found in the story. They were also curious about how the Andromeda Strain worked and how viruses spread. The animal experimentation caused them a lot of concern. The book had them nervous, but interested. This is a book for older kids due to the nature of death, which is a scary subject for most of them.

::::::::::::::::::::::Our Next Family Reading Book::::::::

The Ordinary Princess



This book was recommended by my friend, Kim. She has impeccable taste in books. Michael groaned to find out that we were reading "another princess story", but he is persevering and I'm sure he will end up liking the book.

:::::::::::::::::::Girl Scout Cookies:::::::

have swept through the house like wildfire. The boxes we ordered have been eaten. Rachel made a secondary goal of selling 275 boxes, so THANK YOU to all who supported her...and sorry for any caloric intake that decided to take up residence in your hips!

Later, gators! :)

I love the format of your writing! Beautiful layout too-looks like those butterflies could fly off your page! My mom read to us when we were older too and I loved it.

And Victoria, the shadowing you've done on that layout with the butterflies, I swear they are hovering right off my screen. Beautiful!
