How can something so cute...

cause so many problems? And I'm not talking about that sweet little boy right there, I'm talking about that little ear on the side of his head!!! What a time we have had dealing with those little ears! Ford got his 379th ear infection two weeks ago, so we started another new antibiotic and set up an appointment with the specialist for this past Monday. I was headed to the beach for my annual girls weekend with my college girlfriends, so Joseph was holding down the fort. Ford finished his 10-day antibiotic Thursday, but wouldn't you know it, he woke up Friday night screaming his head off and burning up with fever! Joseph took him to the doctor Saturday morning and handled the whole weekend like a champ (along with a "few" phone calls to his sister...thanks Jennie!) He wouldn't let me call my mom for reinforcements or anything - he said Ford needed to know that Daddy could take care of him too! So while I was having a blast with these beautiful ladies...

Joseph was in the trenches of mommyhood taking care of a very sick little boy, cleaning our master bathroom, and doing a few loads of laundry for good measure. I think I'm one blessed wife! Thanks honey!!

By the way - we're getting tubes on Monday!!! Please PRAY for Ford that all goes smoothly! I never thought I'd be so excited about surgery, but it can't come soon enough!
