It's a car right? Looks all kind of swoopy and stuff. But then look at this:
Yeah, that's right. Sliding rear doors. So, is it a van? car? var? spacewagon? Anyway, Moving on.We have been enjoying the weather recently with lots of warm sunshine. Henry particularly likes helping in the garden/back yard any chance he gets. Here he is 'raking' our garden.
Which clearly needs some raking since it's already full of weeds. He also enjoys riding his 'bike' (a tricycle) and Levi's 'bike' which is a sort of push along thing. Here are the two boys out on a ride:
Another summer favorite around year is the prolific amount of road construction and road construction equipment. Henry and Levi both love watching diggers and rollers and... So one of the more well used toys in Matt and Kathy's back yard is a little sand digger:
Ok back to the theme of the post, the difficult week. So we think we have figured out that Henry is either lactose intolerant or allergic to milk. We're hoping for the former as we kind of already know how to deal with it. So prior to figuring that out, Henry had about 1.5 months of discomfort almost daily.In addition our self-diagnosis of Henry, Zoe also had some medical issues this week. Last week we discovered that she had an 'aural hematoma.' Essentially her ear flap filled with blood and the only real way to deal with it is surgery. So that happened Tuesday and now Zoe looks like this:
The good news is that she and Henry are pretty tolerant of her running into things with the big E-collar. She also seems to be healing pretty well.The last level of stress this week was that Tina was struggling with some sort of stomach ailment. So to recap our week.
Last Friday: new car
Last Sunday: diagnosis of lactose intoleran Henry
Tuesday: Zoe surgery
Wednesday and Thursday: Tina sick
It's been a long week. At least the weather has been nice.
Hope you are well.

Wow! Sounds like a big difficult week. Hang in there guys. BTW, I love the new car/van! I have to say I wondered how long the four of you were going to last in the other car. I wonder how long we're going to last in our car now that Anna is here. Take care. ~M
Oh no! Not the E-collar. Poor Zoe. When Casey had hers (from the bladder surg) Chester would pounce on her and whack at it. Sorry we missed your call. We'll try to call this week.
The Mazda5 is a "Microvan." We think that we've outgrown the Civic, and Lisa and I have been looking at that as well. You are going to have to tell us how much you like that. I hope everyone is feeling better though.
