Abbys Big Day

Today was a big day for Abby, her glasses came in!! We talked about getting her glasses while they were coming in. It took about a week and haft, David and I both told her that Mommy, Abby, Grammy and Emma-Kate would go and get her glasses, go for pancakes( the girl loves pancakes!!) and then if she wore her glasses all day she would get to pick out a toy!!

After brunch we went to Target to get Abby her special toy!! She did such a great job and wear them most of the day. ( getting a 3 year old to wear glasses is not easy) We are so proud of her!! Thank you to Grammy who came with us on Abby special day!!

Abby's Eyes

Last week My mom and I took Abby to the Eye Dr. while Brody was at school. We were there for 3 long hours but both of the girls were GREAT!! They did dilated Abby's eyes, that was NOT FUN!! She cried, I cried, NO FUN at ALL!! But we did found out that Abby does need glasses ( yes my 3 year old need glasses) , she has severe Astigmatism and will need to wear glasses at all times when she is up. We picked out her glasses after for appointment and someone tell me why insurance only covers ugly glasses!! Kids ( or me for that reason) don't want ugly glasses!! Well she got the ones she wanted and we should be able to go and picked them up next week. I will post about that next.

Happy Birthday Brody

Our sweet boy turned 2 on the 7th, ( yes I'm way behind!!) We are so thankful for this handsome boy and are so proud of him!! Its crazy to look back where we were this time last year not knowing a whole lot of what Brody was going to be able to do. We were even thinking about Brody needing a wheelchair, but he surprised us all by walking in July!! He has taught me so much about Love and Loving him just the way the Lord made him, he has tested my patience more than any other person I have ever Loved. When the Lord gave us Brody, he gave us such a precious gift!! He says two words MAMA and Ball. He loves school and is learning so much from his peers.

Our Handsome Birthday Boy!!!

Mommy and Daddy Love You so Much Sweet Boy!!
