The Sick One

All winter, Sawyer has battled ear infections and illness. He's missed more days this school year than in all of his previous school years combined. We went six straight weeks with an ear infection, multiple visits to the pediatrician and eventually an ENT, and tried multiple types of back to back antibiotics. Nothing worked. And the audiology tests confirmed that he wasn't hearing well because of all the fluid in his ears. After multiple visits and audiology tests, the ENT determined ear tubes was the best option. So today was the day ...  early morning appointment, waiting with iPad, icee from Sonic, then recovery at home with more iPad time ...

Maybe Someday ...

A rainy day adventure ... looking at more property out in the county for later on. Beautiful horse farm in the back yard ... sunsets to the west just over those hills ...

Hard Life

It's so hard to be Bruno ...

Bruno

After having the boys off from school yesterday, Bruno was feeling left out. We took him on a walk before we left for the rest of the afternoon, but he wanted to walk again today. I decided it was such a beautiful day we would pack up again and head to the local Rails to Trails path instead of just walking in our neighborhood. This is our halfway point, so we stop to take a break on the rocks and watch what's going on from our safe place.

Chef in Training

While we ultimately did not get to take these anywhere, Connor was being helpful and learning how to make these yummy Oreo truffle balls. We were planning to surprise our family by showing up for my aunt's birthday on the other side of the state for their get together. But as Sawyer decided to start throwing up this evening while he was out with Aunt Kelly, we're going to keep our germs and our truffle balls at home. Looks like we better start exercising now, because that's a lot of truffle balls to eat!
