Who Needs Dancing with the Stars



My mom was watching Dancing with the Stars and my kids got really into it.  They started dancing and giggling it was so much fun to watch them.  Shayla was trying to do the splits and Carter was doing summer salts. There is nothing better after a long day at work then to watch your kids have fun. 

A little update on how everyone is doing.  Carter has had a busy month with doctors.  We recently saw an allergist and found out that Carter has seasonal alleriges in spring, summer and fall.  This could explain why the kid always has a cold or sinus infection.  The allergist was not an fun appointment.  It lasted 3 1/2 hours, remember Carter is still two and sitting in a doctors office that long was not fun.  However we learned a lot about Carter and why he is always so sick.  Plan of action is...he now takes medication for allergies and gets flonaze everyday.  This is a picture of his back after they did the testing.  Every place there is a black dot is where they tested.
Luckily he doesn't have any food allergies.  We go back to the Allergist this week for an update.  He also went to see an ENT.  Carter has large tonsils and adenoids and will be having surgery on the 17th of Novemeber to have them removed. Hopefully this will help him to breathe better and not be so sick so often.

Shayla has been enjoying preschool and recently went on a field trip to feed the ducks.  She wanted to bring along her friend Cambrie so that she could meet her new friends at preschool.  It was so fun to meet her new friends and see her interact with all of her preschool friends.  She has grown up so much in the last year. Everyday she comes home and tells us about a new friend she has met.  She enjoys school so much and I hope she will continue her love for school as she gets older.

Life is a little crazy but it is good. I am so greatful to have such a wonderful husband and kids.  They make my life so amazing.

  2. I want to hear about the follow up too. I can't believe all those black dots. It made me want to cry for him all over again. Thanks so much for taking Cambrie along and being so great to her! Tell me what I can do at surgery time-I mean it!
