Our Indoor Fort

50's things to do this summer

We have a list of fun activities we are going to do this summer.  This morning we had a pillow fight.  Now on to building an indoor fort!

TGBC preschoolers creek stomping

Yesterday our friends from our church before we moved to the country came for a day of fun. We were going to do creek stomping, but the creek was dry.  Had fun playing in the backyard. The temps were cooler so it was the perfect day.

Fun at the Library

Signed the kids up for the summer reading program. Throughout the summer they will have special guest come to encourage reading. Today was Ronald McDonald. 

Summer Fun!

Summer has finally arrived.  This year I was soooooo ready for school to end.  It has really been a struggle this year.  We spent the morning in our new pool.  It is a great size. Sarah can touch the bottom so she enjoys it more.  We just got it this weekend and assembled it on Sun, so the water is still very cold!  Elijah has been in it all day.  The rest of us only lasted an hour.  He swam yesterday as it was filling up too.  Hope you have a fun filled summer.

Walking

Isaac is so close to walking.  He has taken a few steps on his own, but not really walking.  Mrs Karyn sent home a walker today for us to use to help get him walking.  He is so cute walking with it!

Children's Hospital

Sometimes we go forever without a visit to the hospital, then we seem to visit often.  Last week we visited twice.  Sarah had her required 3 ear infections for her tubes to be replaced.  So we went in for a quick ear tube placement surgery.  She did great.  Her speech had really been affected by her infections.  She had fluid in her ears at surgery.  She is now fluid free and talking much better.  We go back at the end of the month for a full hearing evaluation.  Isaac decided that weekend that he has never seen the ER, so it was his turn.  He started screaming and we could not soothe him.  Since he has a possible hernia and is generally a happy easy baby the pediatrician sent us to the ER.  No bulging of the hernia area.  No strep.  All test were normal.  We are not real sure what was wrong.  We have been gluten free for Sarah and we think he got some gluten when we ate out the night before and had horrible stomach cramps.  He is fine now.  Praying we all stay well from here on out.
