A Patch a Day...

We found out this week at the doctor that Caroline has a lazy eye. I was all ready to schedule her second surgery but this needs to be corrected before they can proceed to the next step. She has to have a patch over her left eye 3 hours a day for a week. We are praying that this will fix her lazy eye so she can have her surgery.

2 Brothers -- 1 Room

Graeme and Gavin are now sleeping in the same room. We will eventually transition them into bunk beds but this is our first step. They have done amazingly well. They both love it so much. The first night was hard for them to settle down but +3 days and they go right to sleep. Graeme keeps asking me if Gavin can sleep IN his bed with him.

Graeme's Spiderman pumpkin


The whole family!

Graeme's Superhero Training Camp Party

Graeme's 5th birthday party was a Superhero Training Camp theme. He dressed up as Spiderman.

There was an obstacle course, sports and other games to play beyond the fence. There were 8 stations set up; you just can't see them in this picture.

Here are all his friends. Most of them dressed up as their favorite superhero. They also decorated capes and masks once they completed their training camp.

We had a Spiderman cake and Hulk cupcakes. It was a SUPER day!!!

My Life Just Got a Little Easier...

Now that sister can sit up by herself, I can bathe all of them in the tub at once instead of in shifts. Yeah for me!

Trip to Chester's Pumpkin Patch

We all had a great time at the pumpkin patch today. Hopefully, Graeme will ride a pony next year and feed the animals. Here are some pictures of the things we did. I have no photographic abilities so I was just snapping the subjects as fast as I could. Please look beyond the fact that no one is looking at the camera and try to imagine that they are smiling RIGHT at you.


It looks like sister is standing but that is not the case.

Hey! Look at anything but me! Thanks!

Gavin wasn't cooperating at all when it came to posing for the camera so we have some shots of Graeme by himself.




THE FAST SLIDE
They told us they waxed it the night before and I believe it! There is no stopping once you get going which is very fast and then land in a huge pile of sand. Not good for the shoes...

7 Months... Where has this year gone?
