Ear Infections...that's right...PLURAL!
Life is crazy here in the Stambaugh household...
A few weeks ago Dean started complaining about his ear hurting. He would say "it feels like I slept on it wrong." Nobody thought anything of it. We went to Great Wolf Lodge and had a great time. A few nights after we arrived home Dean started having something along the line of night terrors. For 2 nights in a row he woke up crying for several hours. It was one of the weirdest things I have gone through. On Thursday morning I took him to daycare for a day with Ms. Debi (Dean was on spring break). Not long after I got to work, Ms. Debi called to say that Dean wasn't feeling good and was complaining about his ears. I talked to him and he told me his ear hurt inside. Sure enough, a few hours later at the doctors office, we find out he has a double ear infection and a ruptured ear drum in his right ear. Dean is on medicine.
Troy is doing great. Monday of this week we went into his pediatricians office for his 6 month checkup. He is 19.6 lbs (75th percentile) and 29.5 inches (92nd percentile). Overall he was doing great. The next day Thom, Troy and I had the first of many cochlear implant discussions with his ENT. His ENT (great guy) told us that with my history of tubes if Troy has 2 ear infections before his surgery he will have to get tubes before his surgery. Within 5 minutes of getting that information he looked into Troy's left ear and what did he see?? AN EAR INFECTION!!!! UGH!! COME ON!!! This is a little ridiculous.
So, both boys are on Amoxocillian and doing much better.

Great Wolf Lodge
For our yearly spring break trip, we took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge. It was by far one of the best vacations I have been on. Below are some of the pictures.
Our hotel room "KidCabin" The kids had their own room with a set of bunks for the boys and a single for Daniella. They even had their own TV.

After dinner, we needed a family shot.
The 700 gallon bucket in the waterpark that dumps every 5 minutes.
Great action shot by Thom.
The kids and I playing in one of the pools (sorry the coloring is so funny).
My sister came as our "nanny". This was her and Troy playing the water "squirters". He loved them!
Troy loved the water!

Brady on the lily-pads. Look at all those muscles!!
Dean on the lily-pads.
Daniella had a tough time on the lily-pads because she's so tall!

Kitchen Creations - Dutch Babies
I've decided that since I like to cook so much, I would start a new post called "Kitchen Creations". Unfortunately, I thought of this after we had baked and eaten our latest creation, but you can read about it below. Next time I will make sure to take pictures ;
-----------------------------------------------------------
Last night Dean and I thought it would be fun to try something new for dinner. If you know Dean, you know he has a crazy obsession with pancakes, waffles, and french toast (pretty much anything that involves syrup). So last night I jumped on line and looked for a variation of pancakes and low and behold, we came across Dutch Babies.
After completely burning my hand and thinking I would have to pack up the kids and drive myself to the ER, our Dutch Baby was created.
It is the oddest dish. It has the consistency of an omelet, but tastes like flour.
I didn't like it but once Dean put syrup on it, he loved it.

Picture Update
Haven't posted some pictures in a while, so I thought I would catch you up. (By the way, starting in 2 weeks I will be taking a photography class. So hopefully there will be better quality pictures to come.)
St. Patty's day. Another great shirt from Aunt Holly!
Dean getting ready to race his car at his Pine Wood Derby. 3 sets of grandparents and both sets of parents came out to see him race!
Dean's car: green with lots of neon orange polka-dots
He came in 3rd slowest, but got a huge trophy!
What a great picture! All 4 kids together at the Pine Wood Derby race.
Troy getting ready for his first stroller ride without the car seat!
Me wearing my new MeeUP! baby carrier! I love it!
