Lots of things going on, none of which deserve their own post.
* My hearing in my right ear continues to worsen. (Confused? Here's the story of my bionic ear.) It was frustrating the first time it happened but it is even more frustrating having this happen when I have two 3 year olds. I feel like crying every time I have to tell them I can't hear them or ask them to repeat themselves. I still have my checkup scheduled for a couple of months from now but I have a feeling this story will become more "interesting" in the fall :(
* We're going to the beach next weekend! Ever since we moved to NC, we have wanted to take a family beach trip. We took one last year for our birthdays and it was exhausting. The boys ran up and down the beach, and Jon and I had the pleasure of each chasing one and never relaxing. We decided to wait until they were older and I am SO EXCITED.
* My sister and I both have dermatology appointments this week to check out suspicious moles. PLEASE put sunscreen on yourselves and your kids!
* We've been hitting the pool as much as possible and have seen some exciting trends from the boys. Alex will hold his breath, go underwater, and open his eyes. He pops up and says "I saw your toes!" or "I see you under water mommy!" It is so adorable. Nate likes to throw toys, then have you support his belly while he "swims" by furiously kicking and paddling. I really hope they are swimming by the end of summer. Any tips or advice?

I'm sorry about your hearing. That must be so disappointing, frustrating, annoying...
Will do on the sunscreen (myself included). I need to quit living in tan fantasy land. Please keep me posted on the hearing issues.
I echo Joanna's comments and more than anything am sad to see several friends dealing with issues related to getting older with chronic medical stuff.
Does that make sense? I hope so, you know what I mean.. ok the heat in this room is making me nuts so I will just stop writing.
By the way, you better come prepared to show off your slip and slide skills come Sat at the party.
I'll be praying for your hearing and your moles. (Wow, that sounded weird.) But seriously, I'll be praying...
I am very sorry for your hearing, friend. I can't even imagine how frustrating that must be.
Count me in as another supporter in the blogosphere hoping for the best for you.
Oh I'm sorry about your hearing. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for you. Hopefully your trip to the beach will take your mind off things for awhile.
I'm also so sorry about your hearing. I think I've said this before, but my mom has hearing issues (and her mom did as well), and I know how frustrating it is for her, especially with a little one around now. I can't imagine having to deal with it at our age though. I echo HeatherV about being said having friends with chronic medical stuff. A close friend of mine was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I feel like we're all too young to have these things happen.
Have fun! North Carolina has some great beaches.
I am planning on making my first ever appointment with a dermatologist - thanks for the reminder!
I am sorry to hear about your ear. :(
How frustrating and challenging for you to deal with hearing issues. It is something that so many of us just take for granted. I'm glad you are "on it" though and have worked with doctors in the past to make things a bit better. I'll hope for the best moving forward!
Catching up on your blog. I didn't know about your bionic ear - wow! I'm so sorry! But, I still can't stop laughing after reading these lines: "When considering the entire situation, it made sense for our family to learn sign language. If one day I make decision I will not repair my hearing, it will be good to know I can ask Nate, Alex, or Jon for some milk."
