Smiles all around

Blast from the past

I was cleaning off some old images and found this fun phone picture.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Ian!!!

Sesame Street Live

We took the kids to see Sesame Street Live last week. They absolutely loved - the first ten minutes of it. We made it to the intermission then it was time for something new, like playing on the escalators. Next time I say we save the thirty bucks and head to the mall, where the escalators are free and a hot dog won't set me back a week's paycheck.

Do I sound like a grumpy dad or what?!

Hospital stay

Annie took Ian to the doctor yesterday to see how the antibiotics are helping his pneumonia. His oxygen levels were down around seventy percent so they sent him to Children's Hospital in an ambulance.

They've done a lot of tests on him and determined that it's not RSV and may indeed not even be pneumonia, but may be a virus and/or bacterial infection. He still needs constant oxygen to breath and they changed his antibiotic prescription last night. Annie stayed the night with him and Ian seems to be doing better today. He downed a bottle and a half of milk and is once again doling out his award-winning smiles.

Silvi and I will go visit in a bit; hope it's the last night he has to spend there. After all, I wouldn't want our cat thinking it's safe to sleep on the living room floor once again.

The boy's night out

Annie's in Chicago for the weekend with her sisters and Silvi is staying the night with Grandpa and Grandma. Let's see what kind of trouble the two guys can get into tonight.
We started off at the lake. Ian really likes my shoes. Don't you?


Then we got some Chinese food. Chopsticks only, of course.


Stopped off at the college bookstore for some light reading before...


grabbing a Spanish latte and a discussion on angst in Sartre's writings at the university coffee shop.

Then we got matching dragon tattoos. (Kidding, babe, kidding.)


Stopped back by the lake where I looked for one of Ian's hearing aids in the dark (found it at home!).


Called it a night. Most excellent boys night out, Ian. You make great company.
