lily's health (again)

so lily just got off an antibiotic yesterday for a sinus infection... and it worked for her nose but just moved it all down to her chest. this weekend (its always on the weekends isn't it) she kept choking in her sleep. so we took her back to the doc who perscribed a nebulizer, chest xray and allergy medicine. the doc thinks it might be allergy or asthma related... (both run in seth's family) luckily medicaid purchased the nebulizer for us (the place i got it from said they sold 6 to parents of children yesterday) so her chest xray is today, wish us luck and we hope its not pneumonia. yesterday it was the first time in a month it was warm and dry enough (without too much wind) to play outside.. lily loved it sooo much. she had just finished a nebulizer treatment and she was really hyper and she just crawled around as fast as she could because she had so much space. she also practiced standing as much as possible and flirted with every person who walked by... it was wonderful... too good to last... the high today is 50 and its rainy and windy... so no outside time today. (did i mention she has thrush again and her eczema is really bad again) but the good news is that this weekend is supposed to be in the 70's without a cloud in sight.. woohoo!

i need help

so i'm still trying to find a decent flight and so far the cheapest i've found that will work for us is almost 500 dollars and we just can't afford that. we need to fly out of either salt lake or boise (salt lake would be much better because we have somewhere free to park) the night of july 18th. (probably after 7) and we need to fly back july 25th (or the day before). if anyone has time to help me look for a flight please do so. thanks in advance for your help

lily's new word

family reunion

so i'm trying to figure out when we are traveling to nc and i was hoping everyone could tell us when they are traveling and what airlines have the best fares. we also want to minimize the amount of trips to the airport. thanks!

i got tagged

so i picked up the nearest book over 123 pages and turned to page 123 and the 5th sentence is kinda boring... the book is "Residential Landscape Architecture" and the sentence is ... " the designer must also be able to accurately record the information and insights provided by the clients during the meeting.

french onion soup

While I was in tuscon my inlaws made french onion soup. I didn't think i would like it but i loved it! Wednesday night we made it again and i loved it all over again.. so here is the recipe.
French Onion Soup
3 medium onions, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
5-8 cups water
1 small carrot, shredded
1 small stalk celery, chopped fine
2 sprigs parsley, or dried parsley flakes
1 small bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Salt & pepper
1-3 cubes beef bullion
1-3 cubes chicken bullion
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3-6 slices toasted French bread
3-6 slices Swiss cheese
Grated Parmesan cheese

Cover and cook onions in butter in a 3-quart saucepan over LOW heat,stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Drain or blot of excess butter from the onions. Add everything except the bread and cheese, adjusting bullion,water, and seasonings to taste. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Serve soup into oven proof bowls. Top each bowl of soup with Swiss and then Parmesancheese and broil briefly to melt cheese. Place the bread into the soup and enjoy.
So this probably isn't the healthiest with the bread and cheese but if you limit those quantities it's pretty healthy, not to mention delicious... and i don't usually like onions or swiss cheese :)

just can't get ahead

i dropped a piece of lily's bottle in the bottom of the dishwaher and hit a hot coil and i tried to pick it up... 2nd degree burn on my thumb and palm. the one on my thumb i scraped as i pulled it away so it was bleeding and both hurt really bad.. so seth rushed me to the doc and they put silver burn cream on it and wrapped it, then gave me a prescription for the cream.
