Ears, round 2, or is it 3?

It's 3 for Aubrey in the last two months, but only 2 for Joel. Found out yesterday that Aubrey has a bad double ear infection (this baby is just so cheerful and happy that we never know she's sick until she's really sick), and today Joel decided to join her with one in his left. And Kari isn't hearing well either, we discovered at her "well-child" visit on Monday, still having trouble from her ear infection a couple months ago. Have we got issues, or what? They can blame me for their poor head plumbing. I get to have sinus surgery in March. So, we're doing the doctor/pharmacy circuit around here.

But lest you think everything is horrible, here are some photos of some happy moments in our day. It was beautiful out today, a little chilly but beautiful, and we just had to go out to feel the warm sun on our heads and try out the swings that haven't had any riders since fall. (Rain is in the forecast for the next couple days, I hear.) I wasn't sure if Aubrey, in her current state of misery, would appreciate the swing, but she did--a lot--at least for a while. I see many days of swinging ahead.
