FYI

To all of you that have children or even yourself when you get colds try this! I think I had actually read this last year but I tried it with Baby Vick's and it didn't work. Last night only a few short hours after the kids had went down the coughing began. I started praying over them. The Lord reminded me that earlier that day my mom had told me to rub Mentholatum Ointment on their feet and put socks on them. So I did it! It worked! Both kids slept great last night. They had a few coughs here and there, but nothing like the nights before. We didn't have to get up once to give medicine! YAY! As I am typing Jackson is still asleep! So thank you Jesus for always leading and helping us and providing wisdom and advice through our parents!!!

Your timing on the tip is perfect! Riley has just come down with his first cold (it's not too bad, but he still has the sniffles and is constantly rubbing his eyes and nose). Another friend of ours gave us the same tip yesterday just as I had finished reading your blog - how strange is that!? Hope Jackson and Jaycee are feeling better and you guys can enjoy Christmas this week - we miss you guys!!
