Hard Week

As promised but VERY late, here are the pictures of our new car-we now own two silver cars. We love our new car though and are grateful for it! I will spare you the haggling details and the frustrating car dealers but I must say-when we finally got to this car it was a piece of cake! It snowed like 5inches today so I was really grateful to have the 4wd! We glided across the snow!
Inside view and another side view. Check out the nav!

No-we did not get a dog. This is Hyrum with my grandparent's new puppy. My mom's parents came to visit and we went to see them at Grandma's house. Hyrum loved the puppy-sorry kid not getting one anytime soon! Cute pic of Hyrum though!

Well, we've had kinda a hard week this week. Between work and time off Hyrum has gotten another ear infection and has to get tubes put in his ears. I'm not excited he has to have surgery but I am hoping this will terminate our weekly visits to Dr. E. He must be sick of us coming and I'm sick of antibiotics! Poor Hyrum just got done with a 3 day course of Rocephin (antibiotic) shots for this current ear infection. We meet with the ENT in 2 weeks and then we'll set a date for tubes.
The saddest part of my week happened on April 1st. My grandpa (Dad's Dad) died at the age of 94. Now I know he lived a good long life but it is still very sad and I miss him and feel for my grandma right now. I feel sad that she has to be alone and go through this. They had 71 years together of marriage. My grandpa was an OBGYN and I loved to talk to him about medical things. Also, in his later years (like 90) he went back to college to take computer classes. He also was a craftsman and carved beautiful wooden birds that look authentic. I will miss him so much and can't wait to see him in the future. It gives me temple work to do!


Here is Hyrum walking...not doing it perfectly but he's trying much more now.

Your grandpa seems like a wonderful man. You're in our thoughts and prayers!

I can't believe how big Hyrum is, next time you guys are in town give us a call.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa!

And cute video of Hyrum walking. He is ahead of Zeke in that department. That little guy still won't do it. Stubborn!
