Tubes, Guitars, and Dogs

First and foremost, Keatin will be getting tubes in both ears one week from tomorrow. It is an outpatient surgery done at Mary Greeley here in Ames. I don't like to think about that actual day too much...but am anxious to have it over with and pray it helps drastically with her ear infections and speech development.

On Friday night, I finally broke down...and for the 1st time in my life, played Guitar Hero (and I must say, I wasn't too shabby). :) But that is besides the point! The hilarious part was when Keatin joined in with her teal blue inflatable guitar (a gift from my wonderful secretary at school). Daddy got one picture of us playing our guitars...it really was funny...daddy started singing along to "Livin' On A Prayer"...and Keatin joined in on the "Ooooh, Ooooh" parts. :)



Last night was my staff Christmas party...I know, a little late. :) Anyways, Bri and Tyler graciously came to Ames for the night to watch Miss Keatin for us! They had a whopping 2 hours of actual babysitting to do before Keatin went to bed...but the report was that everything went smoothly! Got a few pics while they were in Ames...and of course the highlight was the fact Tyler brought his 2 doggies. :) Keatin was obsessed... They are great dogs...and even got Crimson to run around a bit! (She has been passed out all afternoon.) :)

Here are Tyler and Keatin this morning...she is going through a phase where she loves cuddling up next to people with her little Mickey Mouse books. She backs into you like a slow moving truck. :)



This happened a few times this weekend...Keatin helping Bender and Lilly escape.


Bri and Keatin on the bed this morning...Bri was teaching her how to bounce on the bed - great! Then Lilly and Bender had to join in the fun...which pleased Keatin!



Another 1st for Keatin tomorrow morning...dentist appointment at 8 am!
