We traveled to my dad’s the day after Christmas to see him, Rose and my grandpa.
While Ava played with Aunt Katie and Dad, I took advantage of the doctor’s office nearby and got Olivia in for her ongoing ear infection issues. The antibiotic she’d been on for a number of days (the third in a series for this particular–and persistent–infection wasn’t working). Dad’s doctor fixed her up with something new, and she was back to her old self again in a few days.
Rose joined us after she finished her work day, coming home to the great roast chickens Dad had made. We did something else, too, but I just can’t remember what….
Oh, right, presents!

Rose found this “decorate it yourself” teddy bear for Ava. She was thrilled at the idea.



Believe it or not, there’s still more to come…
