What have we been up to?

So what has the Brooker family been up to these days?  It certainly does not feel like we've been doing anything.  This month is flying by though and I can't believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

Wednesday Maci got her third and hopefully final set of tubes in her ears.  I took her in for a cough and the doctor mentioned it looked like something might be wrong with the tube in her right ear.  So we scheduled an appointment with our ENT.  Within seconds of taking a peak, he said the existing tubes needed to come up and new ones needed to go in.  It was less than a week later when she got her new set.  We are right on track for one set of tubes a year.

As always, Maci was a super patient for the procedure.  We were in and out in under an hour.  It was amazing.  It sounds like it was a good thing we were able to get in as quickly as we did.  The ENT said her right ear was pretty bad and due to her weakened immune system, we'll be fighting this battle forever.

As for Kenna, she is playing basketball and shockingly, she likes it.  She is one of the smallest out there but loves to sprint down the court and actually practices dribbling once in a while.  We also got her very first report card on Friday.  It was a good report and we are pretty proud of her.

It's been a busy fall.  The girls are starting to think about Christmas and I've been doing a little shopping.  I love to get a head start!  Now if I can only refrain from giving the girls their gifts early....
