A Day In the Life

Just a couple of things before we head out for vacation........

Trent just loves "Summer Camp" at Alyssa's school. He gets to go on 1 field trip a week and swims 4 days. Last week they went to the Atlanta Motor Speedway. He was so excited.

Last week they had a nerd contest. We dress him up really good. He was extremely nervous . It was cute. I let him wear on old pair of my classes from the ninth grade. Anyway, he actually won the contest. They gave him a gift certificate to Blockbuster. He was beaming. Little stinker wouldn't let me take a picture though. My dad taught him to say, "Did I do that?"~ like Steve Erkel on Family Matters.

The kids decided to build a fort in the dinning room. Here are some great pictures.

I had to take both kids for a check up last Friday. I thought getting them both there at the same time was a great idea. Boy, was I wrong. I was so exusted at the end of the visit. Apparently in January they added two more shots to the list of what they have to have. So they each got two. I wasn't worried about Trent because he gets two a week anyway. But Alyssa was a different story. From the beginning Alyssa didn't want to participate in the visit at all. All week we had been playing doctor with her Elmo but I guess that didn't work. She would not let them take her blood pressure and didn't want to sit on the bed either. Not to mention I had to hold her down for the shots.

Trent was 62 pounds and 4 foot 3. (95% in height and 85% in weight.) Dr. Ahn said he was on track to be 6'1. That's cool. Alyssa's weight was 39 pounds and she surprised us with being 99% in height and on track to be 5"8. (They did hers in inches I can't remember it ) That's awesome considering the (OI). But they did a hearing frequency test on her ears and unfortunately they didn't get any. So she failed the test and is being sent to a specialist. 50% of (OI) patients loose their hearing so I totally wasn't surprised its just disheartening. We made the appointment on the 28th of June. So keep us in your prayers.

We are going to Daytona tomorrow for a well needed vacation. Hopefully I can post some pictures by Sunday.
