She Needs Glasses!

Jennilyn has been complaining of headaches for a while.  I knew she sat in the back of the class, but since she was complaining so much I decided to take her in to get her eye's check.  

We were told that she is nearsighted and will probably have eyesight like her dad.

She picked up her glasses today, and I let her pick out a 2nd glasses case so she can keep one at school and one at home.

Love you in your glasses Jennilyn, they make you look smart!

Stitches!

On Sunday as we were getting ready to leave out the door to go to church, we noticed that Ruth had some blood on her, but we didn't find it right away as she walked out the door and down the stairs and to the car.  She never even cried.  Then once in the car she climbed into the front seat as I came up to the van and I saw her upper leg was covered in blood and her tights were soaked.  Dan took her in to clean her up and put a bandage on it while I buckled in the other kids.  He came back out a few minuets later and said that we needed to take her in to Urgent Care as it was worse then he had thought.  So we took the other kids into the house and looked up where our insurance was taken at urgent care and then I took her in.  She cried when they looked at it, and put some numbing gel on it and then she was happy again.  They sent us out to the waiting room to let her leg numb.  She just played with her books and stuff from the diaper bag.  While we were out there Dan and I figured out how she had cut herself.  I had put a garbage bag by the front door to take out and I was unaware of broken glass from a picture frame in the bag.  We figured that she leaned up against the bag while she was waiting for us to open the door and the glass cut her.  She got a total of 7 stitches.  The Dr was baffled at the way she was walking and not crying.  You wouldn't have known that she had stitches from the way she acts.  She has been one happy child!

Check up time!

Today I took Jennilyn, Ruth and Irene in for checkups and shots.

Jennilyn weighted in at 30 lbs. I didn't get her height.

Ruth weighted in at 19 lbs 12 oz and 29 1/2 inches long

Irene weighted in at 20 lbs and 29 inches long.

Yes, that is right everyone, Ruth has always been smaller weight and height wise to Irene, but not anymore.  She is 1/2 inch longer then Irene and is only 4 oz smaller.

But all three girls were cleared with a clean bill of health!

Ouch!

Well, I am still in Utah, until Sat. On Wed I went to visit a friend and as I was loading my kids up, I lost my footing getting out of the van and fell. I sprained my left ankle and broke my right arm in 2 places. Now I am typing this with one hand. I am out of commission for six to eight weeks, all I can do is nurse the twins, if sombody puts them on the bobby pillow. I dont have a cast on yet, I think that will happen once I am back in Spokane. Luckly my mom had already decided to drive back to spokane with me. I think I need help!
