Tubes in...Adenoids out...

After 7 ear infections during his mere 9 months of life, Reid survived his very first surgery. Actually, survived probably isn't the best word. He sailed right through the procedure, and doesn't even act like he ever had surgery! Dr. McQueen put in bilateral tubes and took out those pesky adenoids. Once the anesthesia wore off, he was up and running...and he hasn't stopped since. Do you think they could put the adenoids back in so I could get some rest? HA! Just kidding. Its nice to have a healthy and happy baby boy again! Here are some pictures of Reid with his new puppy "Fiddle," and his balloon sent to him from his Sunday School teachers Mrs. Carrie Buckelew and Mrs. Sonia Kilpatrick.

Two new redheads

Well, the Ellis family has grown in size, and there are officially more animals than humans...its ridiculous. We now have two male kittens, which we have become quite attached to. Reid thinks they're funny, Ellie thinks they are annoying because they try to nurse her and Blanche is thankful for them because she enjoys finishing off their leftover food. Cory, who wanted the cats, has very little to do with them, while I have become their surrogate "Mom"...and I have actually fallen in love with them (the only cats I have ever owned). Here is Larry Boy, named for the cucumber on VeggieTales (left) and Bob, named for the tomato (right).
