5th set of tubes

This kid is ready to hear again and have his ears feel better.  Let's hope that the 5th set is the charm.....

Feeling better this afternoon, but he has developed this weird "rash".

I'm afraid it might be contagious!

A Very Leiran Thanksgiving

After lunch, the boys got to take turns on their tablets.  It kept them pretty occupied.

Cindy and Papa Norman saying the Norwegian prayer

Leirans everywhere!  This is the first time all of the cousins have been together since probably my first Thanksgiving with the Leirans.  Dare I say it's been at least 10 years!
