Looking forward to the weekend!

I really enjoy Easter weekend with my family, but before we get there, we have to get through tomorrow morning.

At 8:45, Savannah goes to the orthodontist for her monthly adjustment. She'll be in & out within an hour. And then we have to find something to kill time til about 10:30. Anybody free & want to get together for an hour of ....something?

At 10:40, we're going to Samuel's ENT appointment. You may remember that we went to see him back in February because of Samuel's chronic recurrent ear infections. He had this same problem as a baby/toddler & he ended up having tubes put in when he was about 2. He kept the tubes for about 18 months before we had to go back in & surgically remove one of them that refused to fall out on its own. That was about 5 1/2 years ago now & he's done fine during that time, but last year he started having recurrent infections all over again. In February, the doc said he "qualifies" for another set of tubes, but rather than going straight to that, he put him on a steroid nose spray for 2 months to see if that would clear up any inflammation in his ears & fix the problem. We've used it religiously & well...it hasn't fixed the problem. Last Friday he was diagnosed with another bilateral ear infection. Tomorrow morning we go back for the follow-up appt & I suspect we'll be scheduling surgery. It's fine. I know it'll help him. We just need to get a move on & have it done quickly. Our insurance runs out at the end of April....and doesn't resume til Aug. 1st! yikes! Lord I hope we don't have any broken arms or legs (or anything else!) all summer!

Speaking of those check ups, here are the stats for my sweet back-to-back babies:
Samuel (who turned 9 on 3/29) weighs 53.6 lbs & is 46.75" tall. Sarah (who turned 8 on 2/15) weighs 71.4 lbs & is 49.25" tall. Hmm...you can tell which one takes after my mother in law's side of the family. (She's 4'9" & both of her parents were right at 5'.)
