Both kids have had colds and subsequently ear infections over the last couple weeks.  Buster was the first to fall victim, but Little H followed rather quickly.  Last weekend I was able to join Dan for the last part of his Las Vegas business trip.  It was our post-Valentine's, pre-anniversary trip, and it was so nice.  We went and saw Phantom of the Opera.  I've never seen the show before, but I must say, that it was excellent.  (Have I mentioned how lucky we are to have two sets of grandparents who are great about watching our kids?)

Anyway, while my dad was waiting for us at our meeting point to get the kids, Little H woke up and started crying that her ear hurt.  My dad thought she must have slept on it wrong, and asked her if that was why it hurt.  She responded, "No, Papa it's not my fault.  And also, my sense of smell hurts."  ???  When we got to the parking lot, my dad apologized that he was returning our little girl to us with only three of her five senses in proper working order.

During Buster's doctor visit we found out that he's actually lost weight.  It makes me a little sad.  He's moving like crazy, though, so it was bound to happen.  His favorite thing right now is the tub.  He slips and falls and climbs up and starts over again.

                                

He spends a lot of time there, for obvious reasons.

                  

I also wanted to post this picture of Little H.  I bought her a summer dress a little prematurely, and she wears it all the time around the house.  I have to hide it from her when she takes a bath or else we'd never get it washed.  One lazy weekend I think she wore it day and night for at least 48 hours.  In this picture, I told her to pose and I'd take her picture.  Doesn't it just scream trouble?
