Play Date with Carolyn



AK had a play date yesterday with a little girl that she met at story time. She had a great time playing legos and feeding the little pigs. I forgot to ask Carolyn's mom if I could put pics up of her on our website, so she is not able to make an appearance. Thank you Carolyn for sharing all of your toys and cookies with me.

Random Photos





This week, I have just been taking random photos of the kids. Enjoy.

Fall...Family...Fun!






This morning, Brent and I took the babes out for homemade doughnuts and some fresh air. It was a beautiful morning, so we stopped at two apple orchards, Blackie's Market, and a little country store. The kids loved the Blueberry, chocolate, and apple cider doughnuts. Brent loved the pumpkin doughnuts and the blueberry were my favorite. The kids also loved jumping around in the hay. Fall is so much fun in Maine.

Ace makes a visit to the eye doctor






Today Ace had to see an eye specialist and his vision is perfect as well as all the muscular things that keep your eyeball in place. However, there are a few issues that we have to take a look at in 6 months to see if anything has changed. The first issue is called pseudostrabismus and this is where a child's eye appears to be turning inward because of their facial structures. The bridge of Ace's nose is really wide, and it extends more on the right side covering up the white of his eye making him look like his right eye is turning in. We are hoping that as he grows older and his face continues to change and lose the baby fat, that this will correct itself. The second thing is called Ptosis or drooping of the eyelid. As many of you know, Brent, his mom, his sister, and his brother all have the same exact eyes. Ace's eyes are interesting because if you look at him, it looks like he has one of my eyes and one of Brent's eyes as far as shape goes. Ace's eyelid doesn't really droop, but there is a lot of fat under it causing it to look like it droops. Again, part of his facial structure and we are hoping that in time, this will correct itself.
I am just glad his vision was perfect so he doesn't have to wear glasses. I don't think I could keep them on him, nor a patch which is something his pediiatrician thought he was going to have to wear.
Enjoy the pics! He loved the special sunglasses he had to wear after having his eyes dilated. He thought they were so funny.

To Cut Or Not To Cut?




Ace has such sweet curls, but his hair is starting to really get long. I can't bring myself to cut it just yet, however, Brent would love to. I just think the curls make him look so handsome.
