This morning we are on a mission to get the boys their flu shot. I'm a firm believer in vaccinating my boys in order to protect then from deadly diseases that are now in the rise and claiming the life of way too many children. This year, the flu is a huge problem and Lizze and I have protected the boys by getting the flu shot ourselves and now its their turn. I don't think that this is going to go over very well but it's a very necessary evil,especially with Elliott's asthma and Gavin's compromised immune system. I'll let you know how it goes.

I concerned that my readers are having problems with the LiveFyre commenting system I'm using on this site. I feel that LiveFrye is far and away the best commenting system available.  However, it doesn't really matter what I think, if my readers can't utilize the system. The reason I'm asking is because I know for sure that some of you are, or at least were, having problems. These seemed to be most prevalent when using an iOS device (iPad, iPhone etc). I've noticed that my comments have significantly decreased recently. If ya'll have nothing to say, that perfectly okay. However, if you do have something to say but can't get the commenting system to work right, that's not okay. Please let me know if the commenting system is working for you by…

Lately, Emmett has been walking down the steps backwards.  What the heck is up with that? Is he trying to kill me? If he is, he's doing a really good job. I mean, he just has no fear. Anyone else kid do things like this? Doesn't scare the crap out of you as well?

Elliott woke up this morning going with a fever.  It's a low grade one but it's enough to require him to stay home. He seems fine and is otherwise asymptomatic. However, a fever is a fever and he can't go to school. The other thing is that the boys are getting their flu vaccines in the morning and Elliott will need to checked out before getting his, to make sure he's not sick. Fevers, especially low grade ones, can come and go for no reason at all. Schools have a policy about this and even if their feeling fine, they are required to stay home, just to be sure.  These are cases where it's more of a technicality than anything else. Anyway, he seems fine and issues feeling well enough…
