Hello to all. Our new year started off with a trip to the ER Sunday morning with Nigel. He had been sick and having some ear trouble but when we had him in earlier they told us his ear was just plugged. Well early that morning he woke up with a fever again so we took him in. He had a perforated ear drum. So finally he can get better. He is allergic to anything with penicillin in it so the dr told us it might take a few different meds to heal it. Thankfully the first one we tried worked. The 2nd I cleaned the house good.   The 3rd I had to make dessert for sewing dinner and we went to town. I didn't stay at sewing I just dropped my stuff off. There was council meeting in the evening and after church Travis and Amanda came over to plan program. They are the new people we are on with. The 4th my friend that teaches away was still home on Christmas break came over for dinner and the afternoon. She brought her sister and one of her friends that was visiting. I made food for a family that just had a baby and one for a family who is having one with in a week. We had to quick run into town in the PM. The 6th I cleaned the house. The 7th Kelly worked a shift at the fire station in town so he was gone from 7 to 7. He is starting that now when he isn't busy in the shop. The 8th we had company for supper. I often make chicken taco salad for Sunday night suppers. It's very easy and everyone likes it. The 9th Heidi and Nigel had follow up appointment with our dr. We sat in the waiting room for about 2 hours only to find out she had been called to the hospital for and emergency and had to call another dr to help her. So I could have waiting for her to get back but I just rescheduled. So the 10th found us back at the dr. Nigel's ear was cleared up and the dr earlier had heard a heart mummer on Heidi so my dr listened and decided to send her for an ultrasound. We ran to town after the appointments. The 11th Galen's called and wanted to meet us at the Merc for supper. They are open now a few evenings for supper a week. The 13th Kelly worked another shift again and I cleaned house. The 15th we had supper company again. This time I made Mexican Pot Roast. The 16th we took the leftovers from Sunday night supper to Clay's for supper. The 17th we where in town. The 18th I cleaned up the house. Kelly was at the fire station in town talking with a paramedic he knows quite well about going to school. The 19th I started doing book work so we can do taxes. The 20th I cleaned house. In the evening we went to Travis' to plan program. The 22nd we went to Lorne's for dinner and after church to Clay's to practice a song that we as a family are singing at a neighbor mans funeral. Issac and Heather are staying with Ricky while his folks are gone. He doesn't need a lot of care and can do most of it on his own but he just needs someone there to help if he needs. The 23rd was the funeral in the afternoon. The kids stayed home and had naps and one of the youth girls that is Heidi's friend came and watched them. Took Kelly to the ER in the evening. He had something to his eye and it was all red. He wondered if you got a metal chip in it. Thankfully nothing was wrong.  The 25th I took Nigel to the neighbor lady for a haircut. The 26th was Heidi's ultrasound in town. Kelly had a course so I had both kids with me. The 27th I cleaned the house. The 29th we had Steve and Kate from Silver Valley for dinner along with Errol's. Steve was had been a minister for a couple of years now and we wanted to hear him preach. Well that is all the news. Nigel's potty training fell by the wayside over Christmas so I need to get back with it now.   Heidi is very excited about Sunday School and is always ready to learn her verse. She loves to call Nana and tell it to her. Well that is all for this time. Till next time.....
