Can't forget about our little man...

So much blogging about the girls I don't want to forget about the coolest kid in this house... B-dawg, Bubba, Bro-wee (that's what Brooke calls him)... or as he is mostly referred to as... BRODY!

This kid is my little man and is such a delight and really just the best kid ever. Today we met with his eye specialist (as we have been doing every 3-5 months since he was born) to discuss what we are to do next about his nystagmus (I know, it sounds contagious, but it's not :-).

And well the doc used the 'S' word repeatedly during our entire appointment... that word being SURGERY. Yikes, I know... he's not even 2yrs yet and this will be his 2nd time going under general anesthesia. But, his doc is great and we really trust and believe that he knows what he's doing and he really does care about Brody. The surgery is outpatient and it's really not as invasive as I thought it would be. So, August 19 you will find me pacing back and forth in the waiting room at Banner Desert Hospital; even as I write this my heart is pounding and my stomach starts to turn - but knowing that this surgery will help him and give him the chance to see much better and be "normal", what mother would do it or want this for their baby.

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Brody stories...

I know I’m biased, but I really do think my kids are hilarious and say the funniest things. Here’s a Brody story for you... Last Sunday (May 20th) we were eating dinner with the TV on in the background turned down pretty low. We were all talking about random things and then some image flashed on the TV. Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues. Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.

Juggling it all...
