It is hard to believe it has been 9 months
since we became a party of five. I think I did miss the 8 month update,
but we were on vacation - a much needed vacation. The last couple of
months have been busy. A couple of highlights of our trip to Myrtle
Beach were:
- Rae's first time to the beach
- Loving eating seafood
- Having wonderful family time
- Having friends down for a weekend
- Pirates and Mermaids
- Riding the Caterpillar and a few others rides.
- Getting to go to Alabama to see Nana, Papa Jim and the puppies
Fun, fun, and more fun...
Before we went
on vacation Rae had her eye surgery and her nose cauterized. She did
great, and her vision is almost back to normal. Getting her eyes
working together caused a little double vision, but it should hopefully
clear up soon. Her health has been good, and we have had no hospital
visits other than finger sticks. She has also not had any nosebleeds.
Her last neurology appointment went well too.
I had ankle surgery after getting back from vacation,
so that delayed the start of school. I am still recovering from it.
So, the girls started after Labor Day, and it is going well. Hannah is
in 8th and is working on doing more independent studying. She happy to
be back in art, band, and drama. She is also playing keyboard in the
praise band on Sunday mornings until I get back to playing again. She
is also still playing in youth praise band. Hannah is also excited for
her new piano teacher, especially getting to play in more competitions
and festivals. Emily is in now in 6th grade. She is working a little
more independent as well. This year like her sister she is playing on
the Granville Middle School tennis team. She is also in band, art,
drama, and continuing her trumpet lessons. Rae has started doing more
school this year. She will start tennis back up soon and is also in a
drama/art class for little kids and loved the first class. In school,
we are working on learning her letter sounds, addition facts, and we do a
lot of read alouds.
Next week we will be celebrating
Rae's 7th birthday. We are planning a small party with a couple of
friends from church and family. She is very excited to get to dress up
and wear her "kong-kong" shoes.
