So much to type...

I am doing a little bit better. Ashley has green stuff coming out of one eye and I am treating and keeping an eye on it. We will see if it is an infection but I really don't think it is pink eye as her eye is not pink. The doctor on call at her doctor's office said because she has such a bad cold she may have her passage between her nose and eyes clogged up resulting in the green stuff. Jenna had something similar months and months ago but it was both eyes and her doctor treated it like a sinus infection. She had been really sick with a cold then too but was not responding to the medicine like Ashley is.

We did have a good Thanksgiving at my parents' house. I was drugged up and passed out on the couch. Tim did too...Ash got to meet Mamaw (my Mom's Mom) for the first time. Earlier last week she met my dad's sister Beth for the first time. She is a regular at Thanksgiving.

Jenna is also 33 months old as of Thanksgiving Day. She will tell you she will be three soon but that she is still "two a half." Here's the crazy bean:
Yesterday was our 5th anniversary. Tim and I take turns planning what we will do and where we will go on our special day. It is his year this year but having a newborn and then the holidays, etc just got in the way. He says we will go away or do something at a later date.

I did wake up to breakfast made for me before I headed out to pick up Beth to meet my sister Amy for Black Friday shopping. It is the one day of the year I can count on to go out and shop and be a person who is not a mom...but I do buy the kids toys for Christmas then, so go figure...But anyway, it is a tradition that started before I ever had kids. Tim takes the day off of work and watches the kids. I am SO thankful for that time away and to be with Amy and Beth. We always have fun and this year I got pretty much all my shopping done for Jenna, most for Ash (she doesn't need much as a newborn as yet) and I need to get one more smallish thing for Tim. I have to buy then for the person I drew in our family drawing - which we started this year.

Tim is now not feeling so hot and has been out of it a lot of the day. I need to go take care of Ash.

I will get to the questions soon so if you have one, fire away!
