We're on the mend....

So I still can't figure out how to write before pictures on here. As soon as I have time, this blog is moving to wordpress..... Anyway, there was a random picture of Gus in the bathtub for you.

I am happy to report that everyone in the Thole family is finally on the mend. Kevin can hear again, thanks to his ear specialist puncturing his ear drums and suctioning out all of the fluid. It was a week ago today that he had this done, and it seems he's fine now, so hopefully that won't be a problem again. I think it's a pain how he normally can't hear me well, so this was a new level of painful as far as communication goes. We more or less just didn't talk for 2 weeks.
Gus went back to the doctor last week too, and he still had an ear infection. So now he's on new antibiotic....and sleeping better again, so hopefully he will be better soon.
I also had a respiratory infection, but I think I'm recovered. My biggest problem has been just aching from playing softball - we had two games in the last 5 days and I HURT! I am just old and out of shape, but hopefully playing softball will help.
So here are a few pictures.

Gus randomly crawled into Lucy's crate. It was very cute, but then he couldn't figure out how to get out, poor kid.


The day that Kevin could hear again, he decided to go buy Gus a new toy - I guess just because he was so happy to hear again. So this is Gus's new toy. He likes it, but it slides across the rug when he leans against it, so I need to figure out how to fix that.

Gus LOVES the dogs. He often crawls up to them squealing, and he loves petting them. This picture is out of focus, but you can see how happy Gus is to be playing with Lucy.

Sunday evening we had friends over, so we were trying to keep Gus up a little late to avoid sending our guests home early. He played on the floor for awhile, but then got a little tired and decided to collapse just like Satchel.

Not much else going on. I'm very grateful to Jessica for giving me some memory cards that work in my old camera so I can keep taking pictures! We mailed in my broken camera to see if what was broken might be under warranty (obviously I didn't tell them I dropped it)....so hopefully we'll hear something soon!
