Uncle Bob
As we prepare to head out of town this weekend for my uncle's funeral, Jeanna and I are reminded again how short and precious life on this earth really is. When Jessica was just a month or two old we were in the same small town for my Aunt Ruth's funeral. My Uncle Marvin who is Ruth's son really enjoyed Jessica's company and commented about how as one person was just coming in to the world another was passing on. Take a minute today and hug your kids, call your parents and do something great for your spouse. Pray for my Aunt Barbara Coddington who will withour Bob for the first time in over 60 years.

Jeremiah...A Baby Name?
"Post A Comment" and keep those suggestions coming...we aren't above auctioning off naming rights...
Grumpy Baby
Jacqueline was a little grumpy (okay, she screamed at the top of her lungs) upon coming out of anesthesia but she is getting better already. The surgery was less than 15 minutes and hopefully her ear infections will be less frequent and less serious going forward. We were home by 10:30 and she's eating, playing.

Ear Tubes Thursday
Jacqueline will be getting her ear tubes on Thursday. We have to call the night before to get an actual surgery time. We will be in and out; not like with Jessica when she also got her head operated on while getting ear tubes. I think it takes like ten minutes once there under. I am going to see if I can watch, maybe do the next one on my own.
