I normally write about family related stuff here, but today I landed on a funny editorial harping on people who wear those Bluetooth earpieces for their mobile phones all the time. Basically, the article describes how uncool and uber-annoying those things are to everyone. I won’t even bother paraphrasing this guy, but the salient points are:
- Wearing the earpiece in public makes you look like a crazy person
- You are not important
- You do not look cool
Read the whole article (two pages) for some laughs.

Graham’s surgery was yesterday; he had his adenoids removed, new ear tubes put in, and a skin allergy test done. We were supposed to be at the hospital at 8:15am for the 10:15am procedure. The surgeons experienced some difficulty with their first patient of the day (thankfully no life-threatening complications or anything), so Graham’s procedure was delayed almost an hour and a half. He was a very good boy and cute while were waiting.
About 10 minutes before they took him into the OR, the nurse gave Graham some medicine meant to relax him in order to reduce the anxiety that inevitably children feel. It was mostly taking effect when they wheeled him away, but Kristi and I will never forget the sad look bordering betrayal on his face, and the tears starting to form as we said goodbye to him. We were crushed!
In any case, the actual procedure took only 35 minutes and everything went well. We talked to the doctor and were shortly summoned to recovery to be with him as he came out of the anesthesia. Now, Graham doesn’t wake up well even from naps on a normal day, so (as we expected) he was really foul when he realized he was in the hospital and he had a pulse oxygen meter on his finger and an IV in his hand. Yeah, not happy about that.
So it took him awhile to calm down, but then he finally ate 3 popsicles (2 red, 1 green) and could be discharged. We had explained to Graham that he’d be going to sleep so the doctor could check his ears. No need in telling him all about exactly what would happen. We were sitting in his recovery room, rocking in a chair and he said, `Daddy! The doctor forgot to check my ears!` So thankfully, he didn’t remember anything at all.
As we snuggled and walked out of the hospital toward our car, he said `thanks for taking me to the hospital, Daddy…` So we’re back to normal. :-)

We’ve uploaded a ton of new pictures from the Easter holiday. A few of our new collections include a great visit with Great-Nana and Great-Papa, where they got to meet Reid in person. Both boys were good! We also have some fun pictures from Grandaddy’s and Sassy’s house, and a trip to Nana’s house during Easter.
There are also a few funny pictures of Reid and Graham at bath time — that’s a never ending source of entertainment. We put the guys together in the tub and they loved it. OK, well Graham loved it and Reid was just his normal self, heh heh. He’s still a bit young to get what’s going on:
We can still get away with dressing him up funny. He’s such a good baby!

When I came back from my trip, I brought a 12 inch tall Woody doll from Toy Story back for Graham. It has a pull string on his back which lets Woody say funny things from the movie, like `You’re my favorite deputy`, and `Yee-hah!` among other things.
Well, Graham was running around pulling the string, and then he said:
`There’s a STEAK in my boots!`
It took us awhile to figure out that Woody was saying, `There’s a snake in my boots`… Heh, heh…

Today Kristi was telling Graham that she was sorry for something that she had done (yes, I’m sure Graham was tragically wronged in some way), and he responded:
Mommy, I forget you.
