David and Gracee Father daughter dance |
I have slacked on my blogging for the past couple of weeks. We are winding down on our school year for Grace and Preschool for Evan. T-ball season will be coming to an end and we have had a million and one Dr. appointments lately. David will be seen by a VA neutral Dr. today to see about his ongoing food reactions that he is having since having his surgery 9 years ago. Overall, he is doing great, but the list gets longer each day of food that his body can no longer tolerate. We all decided to have a lovely sick 10 days in our home right after Easter, just to add to the fun. David and I got some nasty upper respiratory thing that felt flu like. Then to end the week, the kids got a nasty stomach virus. Evan had to get prescription anti nausea medication. He was so sick and miserable. Grace got it too, just a milder version. To say the least we were ready to move the germs along. I am ready for the warmer temperatures and some fun times this summer coming up. Both kids are signed up for swim lessons. I would like to do VBS with them this year, but VBS here is in the evening and Gracee will have her ballet recital that week, so I am not sure if she will be able to go. Evan had his kindergarten readiness meeting at the elementary school and he is ready to rock kindergarten. Literally :-) We also recently went to Rady Children's hospital in San Diego to be seen by a speech pathologist there. She is thrilled with how well Evan is doing. He will be kept on an IEP mainly due to his hearing loss, and his syndrome just so he does not get lost in the shuffle. Obviously all of our challenges are not over, but for now things are looking really good and I couldn't be more pleased. Gracee went in for her seven year old well check-up. She is 53 inches and about 56 pounds. She is expected to be 5 ft 11 inches....time will tell. She has still not slowed down and is still over the 100th percentile in height. She also will be getting her two front lower teeth pulled in a couple of weeks. They never came out and the adult teeth have been in for about a year now, so it is time to move those teeth along. She officially has only lost her two front (top) teeth. I think after getting teeth pulled in June, the Tooth Fairy is going to owe her big time. In the midst of the past couple of weeks, Gracee also went to the Father Daughter dance with her Daddy and we were able to see our old neighbor/friends from Oregon (they now live in another state too) That has been our life in a nutshell the past two weeks.
