This is the season of birthdays.  Today is Christine’s birthday.  It’s amazing how big she is.  My three other girls are tiny (10 percentile or less) and she is much bigger (75 percentile).  She started out as a little 5 lb 15 oz baby.

She has grown to be such a sweet, yet extremely silly, girl.

Happy Birthday to my Chrissie-girl!

Amie has her Daddy’s eyes.  In other words, no problems and the dr thinks she will be fine for a long time.  James has a little bit of astigmatism in his left eye.  The dr wants him to come in again in 6 months and have another check.  Christine is slightly nearsighted, but he doesn’t think it’s too bad and hopes it will correct itself without glasses.  She’ll come in with James in 6 months.  AnnaBeth has astigmatism in both eyes.  She goes back in 2 weeks for a re-check with the drops in her eyes to help the pupils dilate.  She may be getting glasses.  All the kids picked out glasses before their appointment, just in case.  I like the ones we found for AnnaBeth.  They’ve been written down, so they remember the frames and can make them if the dr thinks she really needs them.

The first appointment at the eye dr for all my kids except Noelle.  The only time they could get the time for all 4 kids was during Noelle’s naptime, so she went to the Crises Pregnancy Center with Grandma who will make sure she gets a good nap.

Anyway, I got glasses as a child, so I want to make sure my kids’ eyes are okay.

Is it feeling autumn-ish where you are?  It sure is here.  I had to wear a jacket when I walked to church for choir practice yesterday afternoon.

that the oven is not a good place to hide something plastic.
