We have had some great weather, and played in the backyard. I have joked that a blanket in the yard is like an invisible fence for Brooks. He does not like the grass, so he won't leave the blanket. It's great.
Our little fella also entered fall with ear infections that have been recurrent since August when he started daycare. We did 3 rounds of oral antibiotics, and two rounds of a series of 3 antibiotic shots (just to do the math for you, that 6 shots in 2 weeks). By the time he got the last shot he was using his free leg to push the nurse away. I hated it for him, but he was a trooper and recovered quickly. All of those shots did not make his ears better so we headed to the ENT. I tried my best to avoid getting tubes, but Brooks got them Friday, October 11th. Since then he has pretty much been able to sleep through the night with out crying, I am so thankful he feels better! I also feel like God used taking my baby to a hospital to make my heart even softer for those parents who frequent hospitals with their children.
My favorite part of the morning, when he was back in our arms and recovering! I am so thankful to have medical care that we need for Brooks available to us. Hard to think about those that don't.
We had a sweet morning at the pumpkin patch, our buddy Sadler met us there. These two had a great time checking out all the pumpkins.
I still have to remind myself that my lifelong best friend and I have sweet boys 2 weeks apart, such a blessing.
He doesn't lay still often, but when he does, it's sweet stuff.
And I don't really think about October any more with out thinking about Ukraine. Two years ago I spent two weeks there in October, and it was one of the most special times of my life. It was my no means an "easy" two weeks, but a lot of good stuff isn't.
I have this picture framed in my kitchen..I know the view of this road is looking out from the orphanage and I love having it in my kitchen.
