Fun Friday

We did so many fun things today! Evie and Andrew played outside with Daddy this morning while Mommy took the Pilot to be serviced at the dealership (not such a fun thing). Then Phil went to play raquetball with his friend Stanley. The kids and I went to The Little Gym with our MOPS friends while Daddy was gone. After a quick nap for the kids we went to have dinner with Stanley, Lydia, and William. What busy, fun Friday!

Movie

Andrew and I went to the family movie this morning at The Pinnacle in Turkey Creek while Evie was at Summer Adventure. We saw Clifford's Really Big Movie (actually we only saw half of it). Andrew sat still for about an hour and then he was ready to get up and play, so we left. I think he was completely impressed by the huge screen!

Sunday School Picnic

To cap off our busy weekend, we had a picnic with our Sunday School class at Carl Cowan park. Everyone had a great time!

Cardiologist

Evie and Andrew saw their cardiologist this morning. They were both diagnosed with functional bicuspid aortic valves when they were a year old. They did great at the appointment today. We took Nana with us to help out. The lady in the echo labe was wonderful. She showed the kids with their bears and magic wands how the test was going to work. They both did a great job of laying still so she could do the ultrasound on their hearts. After an EKG, an exam with the doctor, and a 30 minutes echocardiogram each they were pronounced healthy. All their measurements were in the normal range so they won't have to be seen again for 3 years!

A purple tree

We lost one of our trees this spring to a late frost, so Phil wanted to plant a purple crepe myrtle for Evie.

Welcome baby!

Welcome to the world Jackson Thomas! My best friend Amanda had her baby this morning. We are so excited for him to be here. Congratulations Thomas and Amanda!

Naptime

I thought Evie was asleep in her bed yesterday at naptime until I walked in my room. I noticed her Dora blanket on our bed, but didn't think much of it because she carries stuff around everywhere. I reached down to pick it up and straighten out our comforter when I felt this lump. Evie was sound asleep in our bed all wrapped up in the comforter. I don't know how she was breathing in there. I put my hand over her nose to make sure she was! She ended up sleeping over an hour like that.

The lump to the left of the Dora blanket is Evie

I pulled the comforter back just a little bit so she could get some air...you can just see the top of her head

Happy Birthday Trey!

We celebrated Trey's 7th birthday at his pool yesterday.
