Just some pics and an update

Emily at her first soccer game. It was around 103 that day which means about 115 on the field. Doesn't she look super grown up? We're not sure soccer is her sport. It's funny. She never is overly excited about going but if we say, "OK, then we won't go" she then retracts and decides she does after all. And then during the first week of school they drew a picture of themselves and she drew herself playing soccer and went on to write how much she loves playing. I honestly think it's the heat during the fall season. We'll see how she does when it starts to cool down, if it ever does!

Emily is doing great academically at school. Her teacher is very impressed with how far ahead she is. She's reading 136 words per minute, and they need to read 50 by the end of the year. She also knows at least the first 500 sight words, which I guess there's 100 per grade. So she's doing well. The only thing is, I guess she's kind of become more, shall I say, outgoing at school. So she occassionally is having to be told to keep it down a little! Not our Emily! Keep it down?

Ally is doing sooo much better. We have an awesome allergy/asthma specialist now. He has been working at controlling her lung function and getting them to perform where they should be. They were saying she was hovering just about 50% and I think she's definilty above that now. I also notice she is more awake. She really needed naps this summer and bed on time. Now she just needs a little quiet time and is still energetic at bedtime. Kind of a mixed blessing there!

The above picture is today. She had to have another blood draw. This one to do a nut allergy panel. That way we can not have to worry about which nuts she can or can't have. So I let her do her hair pretty, wear a church dress, nana met us at the office to hold her this time, (which is special for her and mewe took the girls to lunch at Wendys. I tried to make this a fun time because she's been poked so much lately. She did really well, after the blood draw anyway.

Rylee is a talking machine. Her newest phrase is, "caaaan IIII?" Impretty sure she learned that from Allyson. It's super cute though. Recently she had an ear infection and cold so I took her to the doctor since she had been so sick all day with a pretty good fever. The above picture is her, happy as a clam and cool as a cucumber at the doctors. Why do they always do that to you when you take them in? So sick all day and then BOOM, totally fine? It happens everytime. But the nurse said it always happens, even with her kids. So that made me feel a little less ridiculous. Now she's better and happy. We all are for a change. It's so nice. Now to stay healthy!
