Our Crazy Life!: Parks and ENT Doctor

With the temps getting a bit cooler outside I'm getting nervous for fall / winter to come. We are trying to take advantage of being able to go to parks and play because we know it will only be a matter of time and we will be stuck indoors.

Spencer loves riding his bike to the park by our house. Thankfully it only takes about 5 minutes because I have no idea whats going on between Easton and Nolan in the trailer but every once in awhile I hear whining and crying.

I love that Nolan is walking more and more each day.

My neighbor took us to a new park. I was a little overwhelmed at first because there was a YMCA day camp at the park. It's hard keeping track of the boys to begin with but add another 30+ kids and I felt screwed. Thankfully I was there with a few friends so we all kept track of everyone's kids.

After our trip to the park we tested out the new frozed yogurt place. The boys had fun making their own sundaes.

We attended a going away party this weekend. Jenny and Luke will be moving to China with their kids Hattie, Mason and Gabe. Gabe is my godson. They will be gone for a year to teach. We don't get to see them often but always look forward to the basketball games in the winter and summer concerts. We hope they have safe travels and I can't wait to hear about all of their adventures.

The boys spent the rest of the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa while Ryan and I relived our college years with some of our friends. Let's just say we had fun revisiting our college years but there is no way I could do that every weekend. The kids had a blast going to the airport looking at all the planes and Spencer got to try water skiing again.

Medical Updates:
Easton went to see the ENT doctor again this week. Since he was being treated for strep and was on antibiotics, his ear with the tube in it started draining. The doctor pointed out that this isn't the first time but more like the 5th time. It was time for us to consider having his tonsils and adnoids taken out along with getting a new set of tubes. I went to the appointment knowing that this would be our plan. We have struggled with his ears and illnesses over the last year and we haven't even hit the cold and flu season yet. I have vacation time coming up so what better way for us to spend our 9th wedding anniversary then sitting in the hospital waiting for Easton to come out of surgery. I know the recovery will be hard and I'm sad that he has to go through it, but I know in the end it will be better.

Onto Nolan. I'm getting ready to call the ENT doctor for him. He's had 3 back to back ear infections. When he had his 1 year check up we talked about keeping an eye on things and switching to soy products. This weekend he spiked a temp again and both ears are infected. He had only been off the antibiotics for a few days. I'm so frustrated with our kids and their bad ears.

This week Uncle JB was up here appartment hunting. We found out he took a job in the cities and will be living here again. Spencer is excited for a sleep over at his apartment.
