Baby got some NEW ears!

Yesterday was the BIG surgery day! Bug got tubes put in. We went to the hospital at 6:00am. Had surgery at 7:30am and were leaving the hospital by 9:30am. He was a little fussy for the first part of the morning, but by 11:00, he was back to himself! Amazing how quick it went. Hopefully we are IN with tubes and OUT with ear infections!!

H1N1 is pretty bad in our town. The hospitals have restricted visitors. School attendance is down like 30%. It's all anyone talks about!

Do you find that H1N1 is all you talk about? Well, here is a happy baby you can look at and talk about to get your mind off all the bad things happening in the world!! My healthy, ear infection free, growing boy, who loves puppies, balls, and dadda!

Beautiful Fall Day

Weekend

We had a great weekend with my family. Mom, Dad, and Kayla made it up. Bug was busy playing with everyone. He's starting to say "Nana" and "Papa." I think I have to let him say Papa instead of Boppa because when he wants to play with a ball he says "Ball-Ball". Well, those two just sound a little too much alike...but we'll see what happens! This morning he was asking for "Papa" and went to his little photo album and pointed to Papa. So cute!
Our Cozette is back. She made a quick trip to Petsmart for grooming. It's so sad looking at my beautiful Cavalier with no hair on her ears! Hopefully her hair will grow quickly. I think Macy is driving her crazy. But, the Bug has taken quite an interest in tackling Macy- so surely Cozette enjoys that show!
The men worked on plumbing this weekend! Here are their prized cast iron cut-outs! Mr. Fixit has his 3 inch pipe, and Dad has his 4 inch pipe. Us girls made them take a picture of their pipes before the weekend was over!
And there you have it...the Bug...the men...and their pipes! Ferocious! Mr. Fixit did want to point out that he made a cut on that big pipe too...and that the picture is a little bit misleading! I'm so happy that our new bathroom is almost plumbed! Can't wait to get the bathroom furniture in there! (Is that what you call the shower, vanity, and toilet?)

Fall Comfort Foods

What types of recipes do you love once the weather starts getting colder?? We grill all summer...and once fall comes, it seems that all of our recipes are soups and casseroles. Can't forget the cookies. Bug helped make cookies for his "Nana" and "Papa" who are coming this weekend! Mr. Fixit and "Papa" are going to be plumbing the basement.
