Tuesday was community hero day/patriotic day. Because we live near Fort Leonard Wood, many of the students came dressed in camo or like their heroes--the soldiers. Luke was no exception. He loves to dress in his camo.
I found it at a yard sale last summer. Cailin wore red, white, and blue all the way down to her shoes. (Although, she didn't wear them for the picture.)
Aaron took these pictures because I forgot and was tied up at the doctor with Haley. What a good idea to use the flag! Aaron also dressed in red, white, and blue but I wasn't there to man the camera. Oh, well!
Haley's doctor appointment went well. Her tubes look really good. The doctor was pleased. Now we are trying to tackle Haley being sick more often than not. We are starting her on allergy medicine and we will see how that works for her. I am excited about the possibilities of her being well more than sick! What a blessing to have doctors that are trained to help. Sometimes I wonder if I missed my calling--should I have been a pediatrician? ;-) Haley loves to sit on Kristen's lap when it is her own idea! Kristen has been a good big sister. We will miss her when she goes to school.
Cailin has been complaining that she couldn't see the board at school. Her teacher moved her which seemed to help. And then I started noticing that she was squinting when she was looking at things far away. I dismissed it for then and decided to keep watching her. She REALLY wanted glasses and we wanted to make sure that she really needed them. Her thinking was that she would buy her American Girl doll first and THEN buy glasses--after all, which is more important? The Friday before Spring Break she went to the eye doctor and, sure enough, she needs glasses. They came in while we were at Nanny and Papaw's house and she was so disappointed she couldn't have them NOW! Well, we picked them up this afternoon and she is so excited. I am thankful for that--at least she doesn't hate them!

Today Cailin is 7 years old. The only problem is that she is sick with the flu. We postponed her party until next weekend, but she did have a couple of presents and cards to open for today. She got pajamas, a purse, and a Princess clock from Grandpa and Grandma Carnahan. She got a card with a check from Papaw and Nanny. She already has a long list of things to buy! Thank you for the presents!
Luke enjoying time with his friends Camron, Josh, and Marshall.
