February, Waiting for the Big March

Get that?  "Big March" a play on the word for "military marching," and the month "March."
Get it?  Get it?  Get it?
Anyway... :)


Matt's date for deployment has been shifting all around and upside down.  Finally we have a date, and he'll be leaving before March is up.   But life continues on for our crew, and February has been pretty fun!  

Minus the "Eli sickness" episode, which gave us a little worried moment:
He ran a fever on a Saturday and it wasn't until Sunday that I realized what his symptoms could mean.  Hello?!  High spiking fever, and very thirst?!  Could be Strep Throat.  So Matt stayed home with him and took him to an Urgent Care, and me and the other boys went to church.  After a long wait at the doc-in-the-box, they were able to some answers.  Not Strep Throat, but an ear infection with an inflamed throat.  He was put on meds for 5 days.
Strep Throat is pretty serious when not treated.  It can get into the blood stream and attack the heart... Not a good thing for "half-a-heart" Eli.
Also, his meds were really gross, so I had to bribe him with some soda to take it (and not jam it down his throat and drown him).  He hated it, but loved the soda!  I'm a genius, so don't judge.

 

Eli smacked his head on the fireplace.  

Handsome boy Isaac.

One of those really healthy and amazing Roman Noodle meals.

Got the Wii fixed!

Titus has a huge obsession with the tablet, which we are curbing. 

Eli exhausted from ear infection sickness.  Laid himself down for a nap on the couch.  (Pink lips!!)

Where's Eli?  He's hiding and I can't find him. 

What a great hiding spot, Dude!
