Sat-19-Jul-2008 - Photo blog & GOOT
This week the boys have been sick. Samuel is lots better. He seemed to have an ear infection and be teething, and I panicked and gave him lots of echinacia when his ear began draining gunk out of it (he told us it hurt frequently) and put a drop of colodial silver in it as well. He never complained after that.
Elijah has been coughing, and we put GOOT on his feet in a desperate attempt to help him. He'd been coughing for half an hour, we applied the GOOT, he was much improved for about 2 hours. We marveled. We took the socks off. Shortly thereafter he began to cough again, painfully. So we put socks on him last night with more GOOT and put it on Samuel as well. I didn't wake up to hear Samuel cough once. Hooray! Our house does smell like an Italian restaurant and I crave garlic bread, though!!!!
Samuel, my sick one. Holding cheese sticks he could never bring himself to eat!
He fell asleep like this. The weight of the pillow must have felt good???
I canned 18 pints of new potatoes despite the boys been sick.
Elijah sleeping . . .
Elijah playing with our cat. The kitty was flipping his tail around and playing with him - they both really enjoyed it!
Jonathan made Elijah his first fort while Samuel was asleep. Elijah just crawled right through it! We were a bit suprised, since Samuel was VERY cautious about stuff like this at Elijah's age. However, Elijah has certainly proved over and over that he is not his brother! He was fearless and Jonathan was thrilled that he enjoyed it!!!
I went and picked blackberries Thursday night. It was very warm. I can stand the heat when I'm not pregnant, but it was obvious to me this time that I was! LOL It was 92 degrees when I started and 87 when I stopped, but I picked 10# of blackberries. And it was SO WORTH IT when I got home! (I had two boxes but only one is pictured below.)
Elijah loved them!
Samuel and Daddy enjoyed them . . . .
And the stains came out of the carpet and off of Purple Boy!
So all's well that ends well . . . at least when it came to our blackberries!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Elijah is too cute. Just adorable! I bet he's a lot of fun. You're so blessed!

Samuel gets me in that frog t-shirt :) I can't believe how fast he is growing. I think I say this every time, but Elijah has the most contageous smile ever! Can't wait to see them and you guys.

I'm so glad the goot helped. (Once I saw your blog I remember what it's official name was!!)
Oh my, those black berries look soooo good! Steph and Za come over yesterday morning and we canned 27 quarts of applesauce!
