GG had her follow-up appointment for the nasty ear infection that landed us in the ER two weeks ago. Dr. Brucker believes her 1st infection never truly cleared up so what we experienced two weeks ago had really been building for about a month. Poor GG. She's one tough cookie. Dr. Brucker gave us the thumbs and ears are all clear! There is a very sweet nurse in the office that demands that she gets to help GG when we come in - the other nurses don't even bother to get in her way. She fusses over little G and has her in stitches before the doctor comes in. It makes for a much better office visit! Our little peanut is weighing in at 23 lbs and with Annabelle at a meager 24 lbs she's quickly closing the gap. I'll be shocked if roles haven't reversed by Christmas and Annabelle becomes the 'little sister'. I'm rootin for ya, GG!

Poppy and Melissa spent the week in Breckenridge but drove down this evening to have dinner with us. Anyone who knows Poppy knows some of his favorite things are golf, his granddaughters....and Morton's. It's one of our fav's too! I was very nervous about the girls sitting through such a long meal - 2.5 hours to be exact! - but they did great. I was so proud of them. It certainly doesn't hurt that we had great food and they got lots of lovin'! Both girls ate mac and cheese while GG feasted on salmon and Annabelle went right for the NY Strip. Oh, my girls! Makes a momma proud! Poppy spent the evening persuading the girls to come up to Breck next summer and be his golf caddy! I remember doing this as a kid - my sisters and I each took a turn driving my dad around in the golf cart and I loved it! I'm excited for my girls to get their opportunity and I know they'll love the chance to have one on one time with their Poppy. I just hope they don't follow in Auntie Becky's footsteps and wreck the cart!

Uncharacterically, I didn't bring my camera so I'll post photos when I receive them from Melissa. I did capture the leftovers from our night of gluttony. If these were the leftovers imagine how much food we actually ate...ouch, but so so good!
