Been a while

I have been keeping busy so no time to write.  Nathan and Liam did great at their swim meet.  Both their times have improved drastically since joining the Amberjax team at the beginning of August.  Over the summer Nathan averaged about 58 seconds for free and just over a minute on back, at the meet he had 39.77 on free, 42.05 on back, and 46.38 on breast.  Liam also did great with 59.13 on free, 1.19.67 on back, and 1.33.25 on breast.  When we started in August Liam couldn't swim 25M without stopping for a rest on the lane rope.  I am really amazed in both of their improvements.

Braxton received his first head bump, a result from standing up and holding onto Liam.  Liam decided that was enough and pushed him off only for Braxton to fall and hit his head on the corner of the wall.  Luckly it was mostly a bruise with a surface scratch so no ER visit required.  It definitely gave me a scare.

Nathan was off of school for half of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last week.  It was nice to have a break and not have to wake up so early.  Darlene and Ralph came up on Thursday to take Nathan out for his late birthday celebration, with school starting the week of his birthday they never got to come up.  He had a fun time at Chuck E Cheese, the mall, and Toys R Us.  Then on Friday I took them both to JumpZone since we had a groupon that was expiring soon.  Now today he is home from school with a stomach virus, I am so sick of these things.  This is the third day he has been out this school year already.  I hope it is only 24 hours and no one else catches it.

I am not sure if I had mentioned it in the past but Liam has been having stomach problems for months now.  Since July he has woken up 4 times and vomited on numerous occasions, but it is only stomach bile.  After the last incident in late September I called and made an appointment to talk to Dr. Mary about it.  He also complains a lot that his stomach hurts.  She looked him over and we talked about what happens, she isn't exactly sure why it is happening but we did start Zantac and nasal spray.  We were told to keep a food journal for a month and come back.  Since we started over a week ago he has only complained one time that his stomach hurts, which is a drastic change.

Braxton also had his first ear infection about 2 weeks ago so we go for his recheck tomorrow.  When it rains it poors.
