Time for Tubes

So we are on schedule to get tubes in the boys ears.  After schleping them to the ENT doc on a rainy, cold, Friday morning and the doc taking 10 seconds to check each one of their ears, the decision was made to get tubes.  We knew it was coming and are relieved.  This will help all that fluid drain off their ears and hopefully be sick a lot less.  Looks like it will be some time in March when that happens! 

Now on to fun stuff.  Isaiah is just a heartbeat away from crawling.  He gets up on all fours and starts rocking back and forth.  Mostly he goes backwards, but it won't be long before he is all over the house.  Sam is sitting up on his own and his favorite place to be is on the floor playing with toys.  He also loves to watch the dogs.  Especially Gracie.  I guess because she is so small.  Last week I was holding her in my lap and he reached over and grabbed a hunk of her hair.  She yelped and we had a little lesson on how to pet the puppy. 

Next week is my annual trip to Memphis for work.  It's always cold, packed full of meetings and I can't wait to get back home.  This year will be extra difficult.  The only night I've ever been away from the boys was while I was in the hospital.  That was torture!  My Dad is coming down on Sunday to stay with Jorge and help out.  Raising twins is a team effort for sure.  Since they go to bed, eat and bathe at the same time, it takes four arms, not just two to get the job done.  My dad is great with them and he's looking forward to helping out.  Wish he lived here in SC.
