Happy new year!!!

The trotters came over to watch the Tide roll over Michigan State.

My plan this year is to try to post a picture daily even if I don't write about our plans.

I know at least my one church buddy will be looking (hi Jeanne)!!

January 2nd 2016

LeLe spent the night with BoBo last night so Gibson got to have extra time with us.   We went to eat baumhowers for lunch and then we grabbed LeLe and headed to the mcwane center to watch Star Wars in the IMAX theatre.

Church then mcwane jan 3, 2016

We promised mcwane yesterday after watching Star Wars.  So, off we went today!  

Happy birthday LeLe!- 12/28/2015

LeLe wanted to go out to eat to celebrate her 8th birthday.  We went to la fiesta and then met friends at roller motion for some roller skating.  They stayed and played until we couldn't play Anymore 

Puppies!!

Kids started back to school today and when they got home they were exhausted.   I took Sadie to the vet and will be taking her back in the morning.  Pray for the old gal.
Can you tell these babies are spoiled??

A day in the life of Katie - jan 6th

Matt took Sadie to the vet because we didn't really like what the one said yesterday.  I took LeLe to school and then Gibson and I headed to children's to  his Gastro appointment.  We got there a few minutes early but they were running a little behind.  It was worth the wait bc I love Dr. Mestre!  He recommended that we do a endoscopy in February.

While I was waiting on the nurse to schedule it, I got a call from the school.  I ignored it because I assumed it was the call saying Gibson was absent.  Then it rang again.  This time I answered.  It was the nurse from the school asking where I was...of course, I said children's with Gibson...her response, there already?

Not a good sign.  LeLe had fallen and nurse thinks her arm is broken.  I rushed out of the dr office without an appointment to go get LeLe.  Once I got to the school, the power went out.  They were all holding flashlights in LeLe while sweet Mrs Barnes held her.  She was as white as a ghost.  Mrs Barnes loaded her in the car while I talked to Shannon.  She came to get Gibson and I flew to the pediatrician.  Matt and I couldn't decide whether to go to the ER or to Mayfair.  Mayfair said to come straight there so we did.  Dr. McCain recommended that we go to downtown children's in case surgery was needed.  They ended up cutting off LeLes sleeve.  We then headed back to children's to learn that her arm is broken above her elbow.  90% of these cases require surgery but since it was still connected they recommended casting it for 3 weeks.  At first he said not waterproof but I'm pretty sure after seeing the look in my face he reconsidered.  We ended up with a watertight cast de the next 3 weeks.  LeLe was in significant pain and wouldn't talk to anyone.

Happy Monday! November 2nd

These two are dressed for fall but it really feels more like summer! We are so excited that LeLe has her boot off.  We are having a hard time finding all of her matching shoes considering we have been wearing only 1 for 2 months.  She does complain of some muscle and ankle pain and seems to still limp around a little.

Dentist! - Nov 5th

Gibson woke up this morning shouting that it was going to be a great day....I'm going to the DENTIST!!!

Who knew the dentist could be so fun? These kids love it and have been counting down the days and hours until we go.  

Wednesday, November 3rd- Skinny boy...

What happens when you are too skinny for your pants?  This happens...during P.E. At school and just when you are walking!

Gibson said the PE teacher told him..."well this is embarrassing"..I think Gibson just stood there and played without pulling up his pants! 

School Popcorn Party!

Today there was a lot going on at the school.  I am in charge of fundraising and we had several classes that met goals of contributions.  LeLes class brought in the most and was given a popcorn party.  I tried to track down popcorn but ended up buying a popcorn machine and popping it for all of the classes.  They had a lot of fun.  Afterwards, the trotters came by to play for the night.

Lunch with Gibson - oct 21

Matt went to eat lunch with Gibson on Monday.  He was so excited that he talked about it all night.  He has been asking me to come back and eat lunch with him for the past 2 days.  I told him that if I came, that he would have to talk to me (which he normally doesn't).  We decided to eat in the courtyard and he didn't stop talking the entire time.  He is such a cutie!

He did say on Monday that it was the best day ever!  He was the line leader, daddy came to eat with him and he got to hold Mrs. Eason's hand all day!

New glasses!

It is time for LeLe's annual eye exam.  She has been complaining of headaches over the past few weeks and really seems to have them consistently....so we moved up our appointment.  Dr. Lewis has been seeing her since she was about 3.  The past few times LeLe's prescription continues to go down.  LeLe has a lazy eye and since it needs correcting, they add some prescription to the glasses so that the eye will turn in.  After today, we are at the smallest prescription that they can use to do this.  So, this maybe it for Lele.  She was more concerned about what her new glasses were going to look like.  She has already picked them out....and of course...they are very unique!
