No New Pictures

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, so here's an update. Alex has been sick, he threw up a couple of times on Friday and Saturday, had a fever all weekend and Monday. The last few nights he has woken up screaming and crying. I brought him to the doctor yesterday and he was happy as could be, running around and getting into everything. She said his ears were a little red, but didn't want to give him antibiotics because he was doing so well. She said to just give him some ibuprofen before bedtime. So we're in the waiting room and five minutes later he's screaming and crying and miserable again. I tried to see if the doctor was still there but of course she was gone already. We waited a little longer and saw another lady. Two hours later we left the Dr office with amoxicillan (sp?), ibuprofen, and Tylenol. She also said his ears weren't that bad, but gave him the antibiotics anyway. Hopefully he'll get better soon because mom and dad are tired of getting up in the middle of the night every night. Other than being sick, he's doing excellent. He is talking more and more and copying his big brother. He's been singing E-I-E-I-O from the Old McDonald Had a Farm. It's pretty darn cute.
Damion, started the soccer season. He's had one game so far. Unfortunately Alex threw up right before we got to the field so I spent most of the game cleaning him up and finding him so clothes. Damion had a blast though. School starts a week from today. He's so funny, he won't admit that he likes school. He said the other day, "I can't wait until school starts, but not really." I asked if he missed his friends and he said "yeah, and I want to wear my new clothes!" It's the same way about haircuts. Our friend and neighbor, Nan, cut his hair recently. I told him I like his haircut and he said, "Me too, but not really." Heaven forbid he liked getting his haircut. Hopefully we can go buy school supplies after work today. I think that'll make him even more excited.
I have decided to take a few classes this year. I enrolled in a business degree at UAS. I will be taking Intro to Business and Record Keeping for Small Business. They are both web classes, so wish me luck. I have never completed a web class because I am such a procrastinator. Although they are the only two I'm taking and I'm paying for them myself so maybe that'll give me the motivation I need. Anyways, I better get busy :)

Dad and Alex, playing in the waves.
Damion and Peyton dressed up as Spiderman. We miss Paige and Peyton. And Rhiann :)
I forgot my camera during the Blueberry Festival, but the weather has been beautiful for the last couple of days. Yay, we finally get some sunshine. We went to Settler's Cove yeterday for a little while. Alex got really cold so we didn't stay too long. Damion was with his dad, so no pictures of him at the beach. Alex is so fearless, he just walks right into the freezing cold water.
Playing in the toy box!
Aaron, Alex and Auntie Aimee
Damion bought a plane made of old pop cans at the Blueberry Festival. It's pretty cool :)
Alexander and Grandma Vicki. Poor Fritz, he's looking at Aaron like PLEASE SAVE ME!!!

Nothing new in Ketchikan. Except that I heard that it might be nice this weekend. I'm not holding my breath though. I am taking the kids to the Blueberry Festival tomorrow, so I will take lots of pictures to post. Have a great weekend :)
