ears...

merrick went in a few weeks ago to have tubes placed in his ears... i would like to say that it worked... well it seemed to have work for a few days, then he was crying about them and pulling at his ears again... we go in on wednesday again to get him checked out...

it was so sad to see him upset in the hospital... he was terrified! i tried to stay as calm as i could... kasey wanted to just take him and run! i'm glad we had it done, i just wish that merrick would feel better.

and as i type, merrick is screaming in the other room cause kasey is drawing him a tub... merrick used to love tub time... now he screams then entire time and i have to hold him in the tub and wash him with a wet towel...

so sad...

merricks 2nd birthday party...

so, um i'm way behind... we had merricks bday party earlier this month... at least i'm posting this in the same month as the event right, not that bad!

merrick and his buds had tons of fun! kasey made this race ramp the night before... last minute idea! and it worked out great! we had been collecting, with the help of my mom, match box cars from savers for the kids to play with and take home... they raced down the ramp and played on the track rug that we found at ikea... i remember having one when i was younger and loved it!

thank you betsy for all your help! it was fun having you and the girls here... merrick really misses niki and g.
