It's been awhile...

Apologies to my faithful readers... life has been a bit crazy. Ellie had double ear infections and we went to the pediatrician 3 times in four days because her medicine didnt work, then she had to have shot, then her ear drum burst and blood and fluid came out... we have had more than a few sleepless nights around here, and I have been scrambling to catch up on everything, but she is finally getting well and we are getting back to normal...

Other news:

1. All you JA Class of '98 grads, mark your calendars and watch your email. Our reunion is set for the weekend of May 10, 2008. Am I really old enough to have a 10 year reunion?

2. I joined Facebook. I am not addicted as everyone seems to think I will be but maybe that is because I dont have many friends. I am going to give it awhile to see if I like it better. I basically joined for work - all my youth are on there... I think I am just a blogger at heart. I love to see pictures and hear people's stories...

3. Ellie has many new words: "tar tee" (car key) "tow" (cow) "taaaacker" (cracker), bowie butt (belly button). She also thinks that the buttons on elevators are called belly buttons. It is really cute when she pushes them and says belly button...

4. One funny story. Last night, we were at a potluck supper at our church. As Ellie and I were going through the line, Ellie's pediatrician came up and spoke to us. Ellie took one look at him and screamed as loud as she could. The whole cafeteria turned around as our pediatrician backed up, assuring Ellie that he had no needles or instruments...hilarious... poor guy... last time we were in his office, he repeatedly tried to tell her that he was not the devil.
