Blue lips, barstools, and naked houses

Hope everyone had a happy and healthy Tuesday.


Alex had a quick checkup at the doctor's office today. We are going to see my (Andy's) family in Colorado this weekend, and thought it wise to have the wee one's ears checked before heading into the altitude. One of his ears looked good, but he has some pinkness in the other. Linda, the PA who saw him today, said if we weren't travelling, they would let it go, but since we are heading to higher altitudes and potentially painful ear scenarios, she prescribed some antibiotics. Afterwards, she gave Alex a sucker for being such a good boy. The after effects can be seen in the next few pictures.




Tonight, as I was sitting on the loveseat, Christine, who was sitting on the couch, just started laughing. As I walked over to see what she was seeing, I found this.


In case you are wondering (which you shouldn't be because they do say a picture is worth a thousand birds), Alex had pulled out a barstool and attempted to crawl through it. After much heartache, whiney-ness, grunting, and encouragement to "solve the problem", he popped out of the other side with a look of relief on his face. Rest assured, I will never attempt such a tenuous and difficult activity, because it would quite embarrassing to call the fire department to remove my fat butt from the inner sanctum of a bar stool.

Finally, as we have said, our new least favorite (kidding of course) neighbor tore down her beautiful pine tree. Below you will see some stunning before and after photos.





That's my time for night. Thank you for coming, and have a wild and wacky Wednesday.
