This and that....

What a season we have had at the Bente Casa. I cannot begin to describe the trials we have been up against. Starting in October Jayce's ear infections became more and more persistent. So troublesome, we had to go to the ENT and he had tubes and his adenoids removed the Monday after Thanksgiving. He faired well minus a little freak out when coming out of anesthesia and a sore throat from the breathing tube. Back up a week during Thanksgiving, Jayce was fighting yet another ear infection, I had a severe sinus infection and Henry and John came down with the flu. We seem to be going back uphill on the battle now, but it has not been easy. We are all very tired and have had some easy days at home lately.

In the mean time, we have been trying to make the best of our situation. I will let the pictures tell that story...

We ended our 2nd season of flag football in 2nd place, but the improvement in Henry is something to be proud of.

 Jayce and his BFF Alyssa!

 We went to SPI for Thanksgiving as usual, considering how sick we were, we still had a really nice time, you won't see John in any pictures, he was in bed running a 103 fever. :(

 Ruben's hand is "John"! Ha!

 John's family was so awesome while we were sick, they really picked up the slack and entertained the boys. Dad took Henry fishing, I don't think he will ever realize how special that was for Henry.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and we will catch up soon. XOXO
