Its been a little while for an update. Sorry about that. Maybe this will cover the bases at least for a little while.

(Roli Poli and his friend Ollie -only 2 weeks younger than Roland. )
Roland is recovering nicely from his bad double ear infection, and when we go see the dr. for a follow-up, we will discuss getting tubes put in his ears. I hear really posotiv feedback from parents about the procedure so i am not nervous at the possibility. He is sooooo close to pulling humself up on almost everything, but not quite. I am posotive when he gets moving soon (other than army crawl) he will loose those glorius thunder thighs that make his legs look like tree stumps. I’ll miss em.

Neela is not doing so great. She has had the cold for more than 3 weeks, and I just took her to the dr yesterday to identify what I thought was pink eye. It is not. Dr. didnt know what it is actually. Cold + Allergies = red eyes? She is on some antibiotic eye drops, so we will see if that helps. Shes also got a strange rash on her leg that we got another perscription for. AND she got a few missing vaccinations from the past year. Given all that, she is doing well. ahe has finally stopped crying for a littke break here and there.
Elliott has also got the cold. he is going on 3 weeks as well. He is at the end, so his body is trying to get all the crap out of his chest. Coughing. All. The. Time. Poor kid. He is also just put on a program to help him recover from being 3. I’m told a good, behaving, loving stage is just around the corner. In the mean time, he shares lots and lots of hugs with everyone but more with N & R. Lots. and Lots. Usually accompanied with a poke to the cheeks, and/or baby talk. Hes a really loving brother.

Ethan is doing great. He started a new job a month ago, which he LOVES and gets to pick up his vespa from the mait. shop tomorrow, sand has been getting plenty of time with the kids- so hes doin great.
And I am doin good. Still never enough time to play and get anything done. I have been obsessed with trying to get our garden going. My Sarah (Ollie’s Momma) got to come play, and I thoroughly enjoyed that. And of course cried when she had to leave. I really miss her. A lot.
