My life...


I could go on and on... but I think you get the point... :-)

Life has been a bit slow around here, and I'm not complaining.

Samantha literally tells me everyday how many days she's been in school now... which makes me wonder... does her teacher have some sort of countdown in the classroom (like she is already eagerly awaiting summer) or is Sam really that smart and good with numbers.  I'm going to venture a guess and say it's the former and not the latter, however at this point I wouldn't put anything past Samantha.

Brody's eyes are doing so great.  At the follow up appointment the doctor was VERY pleased with the results and actually shared with me that very rarely do they do this much surgery on one little patient... meaning that Brody had both eyes operated on, both inside and outside muscles of both eyes were cut/repaired and that is not very common.  Sure, now you tell me this doc!!!  But, it was well worth it and he seems to be able to focus on things right in front of him rather than having to look at everything with his head turned to the side.

Brookie, Brookie, Brookie... holy spit-fire.  There is so much crazy, feistiness balled up into that teeny little girl than I have ever seen.  She will fight back with her older sister, no problem, but Brody knows just how to push her buttons and she won't dare try to fight back... he is way too rough with her... it's so sad but I can only imagine this is what my brother and I were like when we were this age.

Scott will be taking his all important nursing test tomorrow... wish him lots of luck!  Unfortunately the one night he needs to get a good nights rest to be at his best, I'm sure he'll be up most the night pacing back and forth with his nose in his medical encyclopedia.  

As for me, well... if I can survive another day I'll consider myself lucky... or at the very least, CRAZY!!

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.
