Amelie toe check up

Hiding in wait for the doctor.

At the end of October Amelie had her check up at Texas Scottish Rite from her surgery back in July. They wanted to see how the toes were looking and if the nails were growing back. They told us that everything looked good and that will continue to check them at her yearly hand clinic visit.

After the check up we went to get a drink over at 7-11 and the man at the register asked about school and I said she had a check up next door. And he said, “All princesses who go to Scottish Rite get a Slurpee when they are done.” Amelie was SO EXCITED that he gave her a free one.

Happy 9th Birthday Nadia!

Happy Birthday Nadia! We love you so much and are so blessed to have your as our daughter! You bring so much joy to our lives with you wit, wonder, strength and precious heart that wants to love others. You are a wonderful big sister to Amelie and Dani. You are a prolific creator of art and ideas. You want to know everything there is to know about science and especially the human body. You love stuffed animals more than any other toy. In the last year you have found that Taekwondo is your thing. I am constantly in awe of your ability and laser like focus to be the best. You are so fun to have conversations with and so often they catch me off guard with their depth. I love how you read new books and want me to read them too. We love you sweet girl!

Boo at the Zoo 2015

The rain finally let up late on Saturday night, so we were able to go to Boo at the Zoo after dropping my mom at the airport in the morning. We had a fun time collecting candy and checking out the animals. The zoo changed Boo at the Zoo again this year and didn’t have the big area with games for the kids to play. They had performers around the zoo and candy stations.

The big girls wanted to stop collecting candy for a bit and try the shooting gallery in Texas Town. Dani wanted to keep eating candy 🙂

We had another fun time at the zoo. Mike was the overwhelming hit of the day as The Beast!
