Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Emily! We hope you have a wonderful, fabulous day and the beginning of a great year! How many years young are you? : )

It's been a crazy week here. Adam has been under the weather and it turns out he has pneumonia and an ear infection. Poor guy. He's much better now thanks to the miracle of antibiotics! He's glad to be back in school.

Isaac has been having trouble with his ears -- it's been a reaccuring issue for years now -- he gets fluid in his ears and it stays for months and in the meantime he can't hear. This year his hearing is worse than other years, but the theory is just wait and it'll go away on it's own...ugh!!! The pediatrician told me Tuesday that not only has it turned into double ear infections but that part of the issue is his adenoids which have regrown -- he's had them removed twice already! I can see our future now. It'll be ear tubes and adenoid removal this spring. He sees the ear, nose and throat specialist April 5th and we'll know more after that. I just want Isaac to be able to hear normally again. Please keep both boys in your prayers!!!

On a happier note, we enjoyed some unseasonable warm weather earlier this week -- mid 60's! When the boys stepped outside, Adam said "I feel like we're at Disney World!" Our snow is almost gone and we can see grass again. Emily, I loved seeing the pictures of your flowers!

Love, Joy
