My poor little Kelly got a fever for New Years. It was her first fever since she's been home. It was actually New Year's Eve when she came down with it. I called our pediatrician's office but they were closed, so I had to take her to a walk-in clinic. I was dreading it, not knowing how long the wait might be, but it was the nicest, most efficiently run walk-in clinic I have ever been to! Everyone was really friendly, and we were in and out of there, new patient paperwork and all, in 30 minutes!
It turns out, Kelly had an ear infection. She had been fighting a nasty cold for over two weeks, so I think the congestion from it settled in her ear. The doctor gave me a prescription for Zithromax which only has to be taken once a day for 5 days, so that was great. Within 24 hours, her fever was completely gone and she was feeling much better. But it did manage to slow her down considerably- here she is laying on the couch on New Year's Eve.
My mom and my brother came up New Years Day and stayed through Saturday. It was so nice to see them. I haven't seen my brother since last Christmas. He just graduated from Mississippi State University majoring in Professional Golf Management, so he's finally beginning to live out his dream. He accepted an offer as the Assistant Golf Pro at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, so we're all really proud of him. My mom has been so supportive of both of us, so she beams to see us both doing so well.
I hated to see them leave yesterday morning, but I was thankful we had a really nice time together.
Here we all are sitting down to breakfast Saturday morning. My brother, Clint, and Caleb were heading out to go golfing. It was Caleb's first time and he really enjoyed it. We hope to get him some clubs and lessons if he continues to show interest.
My mom and Camryn and I went to a few matinees while they were here- such a treat! Other than that, we all just relaxed around the house and visited, played with Kelly, and watched football... or the Backyardigans. LOL

Ok, you didn't tell me you got to see some movies with your Mom! Now I have to call and find out which ones, and how they were. Come on girl, you know that drill!
Kelly looks SOOOOO yummy all cuddled on the couch in her jammies. Kelly, Auntie wants to just smooch you up!
Love,
