Sorry for the long lay-off on the blogging! Many fine adventures have been had in the interim, and I'll get caught up over the next few days. Michael and Henry are here pictured at the 5K race a couple of weekends ago-- Michael ran his best time and came in 99th overall, out of some 3000 participants! Henry registered for the kid's race, but chickened out at the last minute. "Too many kids, Mama!" But he did glory in his official t-shirt, number, and red sweatband. He promises he's going to run next time.
Here he is, looking a little overwhelmed just before the start.
Our dear friends Eric and Meg came for a visit last week, and we went to the Landis Valley Museum, a collection of old buildings and implements that is a museum to 18th and 19th century life in Lancaster County. The highlight for Agatha was riding in a wagon behind this horse, and getting to touch his nose. The girl is horse crazy! "Aga ride! Aga ride!"
We just got back from taking Henry to the ENT specialist, and the verdict is that one ear is clogged with fluid (uninfected) and other is starting to clear (bubbles in the fluid), which accounts for the fact that we've noticed his hearing has improved in the last couple of days. We came away with the prescription to squeeze saline up his nose and get him to blow up a balloon once a day, in an effort to clear those tubes out. We'll go back in six weeks to check on it.
More soon!

I hope that works! Saline solution in the nose--he has to let you do it or do it himself in a decent quantity for the nose to stay moist. However, what they are doing is trying to change the pressure and force those darn E. tubes to behave and open and close properly--no news there! Go Henry.... Love, Auntie Grace
