Russ and Becca's blog

It's been a while since I last blogged, so I thought I'd toss up some more pictures and fill you in on what's been going on in our world.

This first picture was taken at Anthony's restaurant in Richland for Becca's birthday dinner. For her present, she took a trip down to the Oregon coast with her friend for a spa and massage treatment. Anthony's was ok, but we both thought the food at the Bonefish Grill was better. You can't beat Anthony's view though. It is often interrupted by "Columbia Point snobs" who don't realize they live in eastern Washington and aren't as cool as they think they are as they run in front of the restaurant down by the river.

This picture is too cute to not add to the blog. Ethan is doing much better now, although he did give us another scare about a week and a half ago. Apparently when you are on an antibiotic, it will mask other stuff, like an ear infection. When he came off of his antibiotic after his blood work returned to normal, he spiked another fever and we thought his septic knee was returning. Another trip down to the hospital and some blood work was in order before we discovered it was thankfully only strep throat and an ear infection. Septic knee can sure give you perspective for the "normal" childhood sicknesses!

Ethan just turned two! It is especially a blessing considering the scare of the last month. He's a happy little guy, always blowing kisses and saying "Love you momma" and "Love you daddy". He's added "Gavin" and "Micah" to his vocabulary, so they are no longer all referred to as "Brady".

Well, that's all for now....talk to you soon!
