first day of school

Wednesday was the first day of school around these parts and boy were we excited!!

the fogged up lens was killing me

Austin's fake smiles are also killing me!

Wow, third grade sounds sooooo old!!  

I believe this is going to be a great year for them!!

While the kids were at school, I was taking Jack to the doctor for the second time in a week to have his ears checked.  A week ago he was diagnosed with an ear infection and he's been taking antibiotics since then, but a few days ago he started pulling at his ear and telling us "ear hurt". 

I think it's pretty awesome that his language is developing so well and he can let us know when something hurts, but I hate that his ear is still hurting after a week of antibiotic.  

So now we are on round two, with a new medicine and counting down the days until we get to see the ears, nose, throat specialist and figure out when we can get some tubes put in.  

He's had ear infections every month except for July, since February!! 

 Poor guy can't catch a break!

I'm also thankful that I'm not working, which makes dealing with Jack and his sick times so much easier!!

This is Jack leaving the Children's Clinic! 

 He loves wearing sunglasses right now!!
