Hear, Hear?

Ok, so I am waaaay behind in this blogging thing. We found out a couple of weeks ago that Ellie can't hear in her right ear. She doesn't have an ear infection or fluid in her ear, so we're not sure what's going on. We'll follow up in a month or so and see what happens. I get frustrated sometimes with all the things that seem to go wrong for her. Heart babies should not have all these little extra things to deal with! Then, I'm reminded of how many "big things" have gone right for her. She's happy and, most importantly, alive!

On a different note, we thought we needed a break so we packed up the kiddos and headed for Moab this past weekend. I had never been to Arches or Goblin Valley. The scenery was breathtaking! But, when you need a break, it's not a good idea to take the things you needed a break from with you (and to sleep in the same room with them)! We had fun anyway! I really do have great kiddos.

My husband paused to think about what he wanted for dinner (fast food again?). Our oldest called this rock formation at Goblin Valley "The Hamburger."
In almost every picture, our son was at least 5 feet off the ground--often more.

Someone had enough of hiking.

Goblin Valley was like something out of a science fiction movie. Way cool! My husband informed me that part of Galaxy Quest was filmed here.

Our family at Delicate Arch. Was it worth the 3 miles of whining? Yes!!!
