Eye can see clearly now...

In the back of my mind, and I mean very far back where the cobwebs grow, I just knew this day would come. I innocently convinced myself that all this time he was somehow getting better... I say innocently because the doctor was filling my mind with false illusions. So, here it is... my little man has to get glasses.



This is pretty much my inner monolgue for the past 48 hours...
This is killing me! I know tons of little kids have glasses and Brody sure is stinkin' cute in them, but to me this is the realization that his vision, his sight, his eye muscle issues have not gotten better all these years and after that horrific eye surgery nothing has really changed. I'm mad! It's the kind of mad that you get when all the things you hoped and dreamed for your kid comes crashing down. I know this is all sounding so dramatic and when I see that cute little face in those glasses it just melts my heart, but I still can't help but feel a little sad.

This is just a 6-week trial and his eye specialist will evaluate him at the end of the 6 weeks to see what has happened, changed, improved, etc. So, here's to the next 6 weeks... and beyond!

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.

Wee little princess...

Oh man, where does one begin to describe our little peanut. For starters I still get a kick out of the random folks that ask me almost weekly what the age difference is between the B's... then the genuine look of shock and awe when I tell the unsuspecting person that they are in fact twins. Let's see...what else about Brooke... -She bounces EVERY where she goes...she can never just walk places she has to twirl, bounce, you name it -She is the most amazing UNtrained dancer EVER...at least that's what her Grandma Herrick would say! -She has the most loving heart I have ever witnessed...loves and cares so unconditionally -Wants to be just like her big sister in the worst way -Has my chin...and it's soooo cute! -Her prayers will melt your heart...no joke! -Still prays everyday that her Grandma will be strong and healthy and we don't dare correct her -Always wants to be on the go and constantly asks to go to the mall -Has the sweetest bond with her bro and I...

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]
