Good news!!

Hi everybody!

I guess the good news is that I did not have to have a root canal after all. I went to the dentist last Monday and they told me that I had an abcess starting over one of my back molars and that I needed a root canal. Ugh. So I scheduled said procedure and wondered how much the whole she-bang was going to cost after I got a crown and all. Then I went in and the endodontist (that's a dentist specializing in root canals) did all kinds of tests and said that the nerve in the tooth was still viable and that I did not need the procedure after all. Yea!

Jacob has also not been feeling well. Starting last Friday night, he had a 102 degree fever that lasted for almost 3 days. :-( After the fever broke, he developed a rash, which means he actually had the roseola virus. Now the rash is almost completely gone. I sure don't like it when my baby feels so hot to the touch. I'm posting some pictures of Jacob when we were at my mom's in October. I think that they are some of the best Jacob pictures EVER!!

Alice Cooper Reincarnated

Oh, wait, he's not even dead yet.

Howdy y'all,
Things are gettin' all Christmassy around here. I cant' wait till the day after Thanksgiving to put up the tree and start getting all the decorations out. Yesterday, our little Alice Cooper, had his Thanksgiving dinner at school and tomorrow is the party. Yes, Larry got a hold of my mascara. Then this morning, he got his mullet cut off! He's saying look at all that hair that came off my head. But he also Peed in the Potty!!!! We are starting to work on it more and more.

Jacob is now crawling around on all 4's and pulling himself up. As you can see in the above picture he is getting quite the formula gut. :-)

Other than that, our friends Tami and Aaron came down from the Fort Worth area and we all went to the Rennaisance festival. It was the first time I had left the boys with teenage babysitters. But there were two of them so I felt more comfortable. And we left them three phone numbers of people close by who could come over if they needed help. And we left the van here so that if something happened and they needed to go to the hospital (god forbid) then someone could come drive them and they would have the vehicle that had car seats in it. (you get the idea)...Everybody lived.
