We woke up to a nice surprise T-Day am when Addison was complaining of “itchy” spots on her tummy…So Nurse mom checks them out and YES we have the pox.  I was worried she may not get them and then I may have to consider the immunization (not something we wanted for our children).  So though we were just @ the Doc monday and found out she had Strep Throat, We called and there was a Doc on call who got her started on Acylivor right away.  It is suppose to help with the number of pox…but so far she is beating Cole by a landslide.  She is pretty uncomfortable but hopefully she will bounce back like Cole did.  Addison also lost her second front tooth last week!!! So now I am singing the song..” All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth” to her, she thinks I am a nut!  So here are some pics of my Dear Daughter…warning, she is crying in a few but I promise I am not a mean mom..lol!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we all have so much to be thankful for every day in this life. xo, blessings- Jules

Ahhhhhhhhhh A rootbear float makes everything all better!

Yep, thats right alot of itching going on over here..Cole got the chicken pox on Nov. 13th.  He was an absolute trooper, put up with the cool baths, the meds, and did a terrific job trying not to scratch =)  He still has some that have the scabs falling off but everyday I see less and less, Addison has not got them yet…but maybe had a mild case when she was younger..who knows.  Addison has had a fever off and on since Wed. of last week and she was not really complaining of anything just a headache..so finally today I took her in to the Doc and she has full blown Strep Throat…a g a i n! With her having no tonsils I don’t think she gets that sore of a throat, just the fever that does not go away. So 10 days of meds for her. 

I have started on some Christmas crafts with the kids and also some shopping, This year seems to have just flown right on by.  I also had some time to scrap a few Layouts so I will post those and pics of Pox Cole below..  No bites on our home yet, but we know it will sell if it is God’s plan for us to move our family.  So we pray and wait. 

I hope everyone has an extra special Turkey Day, and eat extra Turkey for us caz we are stuck home and have a Pizza to make and root bear floats for the kids!!!!  Love and Blessing to you all!- xo- Jules

Whoah….I think we have enough candy to last the next year or two..LOL!  So I wanted to share the kids dressed up this year….Cole is just something scary…and Addison is Anikin (from Star Wars), like I said No more girly costumes for Addison, sigh.  We had a blast, our community pool hosted a “Trunk or Treat”, so we walked down there with our big wagon and flashlight, glow sticks etc… The kids loved that, several adults were really dressed up!  They had the boxes that the kids put their hands in to guess what was inside…kinda creepy in the dark…hehe.  Cole loved a witch that was brewing up brains..(with dry ice), very cool!  Now we are dividing up the candy and adding to our prize box.

Hope everyone had a safe Happy Halloween!
