Guess it's time to update

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long but really haven't felt much like updating it even though there is plenty to update. We had a great weekend last weekend and both Tj and Haley are feeling much better. Actually, I'm happy to announce that EVERYONE is feeling pretty good this weekend! It's so nice to not be worrying about who needs cold or cough medicine. Last week Tatum's headaches continued and actually got worse on Monday. Tuesday she had a CT scan of her head and also of her sinuses. We found out on Wednesday that she had a really bad sinus infection and also ear infection. She didn't appear to have a sinus infection though, just a little runny nose. Now after being on a new and stronger antibiotic she seems to be doing better and only complained of a headache once since being on the antibiotics. They were not sure what antibiotic to give her since she has broke out all over her body from what they think is an allergic reaction to two different antibiotics. The one they gave her this time seems to be working well and so far no reaction to it. Only bad thing is that it's very expensive but guess that's OK if it works and she isn't allergic to anything in it. They are kind of stumped as to why she would be allergic to the any of them because she gets the penicillin injection monthly and never has had any problem with it. The doctor thinks it might be a colorant in them or something. Wednesday Tj went with his mom to his aunts for Thanksgiving and returned on Saturday. We sure missed him while he was gone and everything was so different not having him around. The girls kept asking when he was coming home and where he was. Haley was even missing him and got bored without him around to be a goofball with. I'm so glad the two of them get along so good but they sure are a little on the crazy side sometimes! Scott, Haley, the girls, and I all spend Thanksgiving here in Lincoln and had our old neighbor over for dinner too so she didn't have to spend it alone. We had a great lunch and it was good catching up with her. Friday morning Scott and I got up at 4:30am and went out shopping. We went to a bunch of different stores and got about all our Christmas shopping done too. I don't know if it's really worth going out and fighting all the people but it was fun. Haley stayed home with the girls so it was nice for Scott and I to get out together. We shopped until around 10am then went home and spent the rest of the day at home. Saturday afternoon after Tj got home we put up Christmas decorations and got the tree up and decorated too. Scott worked outside on lights and did such a great job on them even though he really dislikes putting lights up or even any kind of Christmas decorations. That evening my mom and her boyfriend came and helped with some of the decorating and then we all went out for supper. It was really good food and we had a good time even though she was only here a little while. Today we just finished up some of the tree decorations that the girls can't seem to leave on the tree and relaxed all morning. Haley and Tj made cookies that didn't last long either, they were so good! After the girls naps this afternoon we went to walmart and got some groceries for the week. I can't believe that the kids break is already over and I wish that it would last about another week. I love it when they are home and now I will start the countdown to Christmas break just like they are I'm sure. Three whole weeks then they are off for 2 weeks until after the first of the year. I really can't think of anything else that happened over the last week so hopefully I'm not missing anything. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
