ER trip....

Kaitlyn Rose had her first trip to the ER yesterday....she managed to fall and bust her forehead on the edge of the bathroom door. It was bleeding alot and very evident it needed stitches. She was freaking out, as well as Hailey and I. Nick took it all in stride, as he does everything.....must be nice ! We all loaded up and took her. She required 3 stitches to her forehead and she screamed as it was done. She kept on asking for Hailey, wanting to make sure Hailey was there with her -- Hailey would reassure her by saying , "K, I am right here with you." It was so sweet. Kaitlyn Rose is okay now and now I am just having to remind her not to romp around and rough-house, which she loves to do. She gets the stitches taken out on Friday. We just hope she manages to keep them in until then !!!

This weeks project ....

Madisyn will get her DOC Band this week from Cranial Tech. in Austin - Nick and I take her Thursday morning. For those of you who don't know, Madisyn's pediatrician noticed at her last visit that she has flattening on the backside of her head, on one side more than the other. The referred us to a specialist in Austin. They think she needs a DOC band, which is kind of like a little helmet that is open on the top -- her case is mild and they think she will only have to wear it for 4-6 weeks. It is largely cosmetic, but, it could also possibly cause problems with vision, jawline, sinuses, etc. down the road if not treated. I don't know what she will think about this -- it only weighs 6 ounces and they say the smaller the child is, the less it bothers them and the shorter they have to wear it. Luckily, this was caught early. We can decorate it cute - I went to Hobby Lobby today and got all kinds of stuff to decorate it -- it will be pink, have her name on it, as well as some bling.....and a place to change out bows....... we will get her all fixed up !!! Please pray for little Maddie.....that it corrects the problem and that she is not bothered by it. Above are a few pics of her at the clinic having the imaging done for them to make the band, just for her ! Madisyn even decided to check out the bands for herself and is reading up on it....lol !

A little catch up.....

These last few months have been fun -- in May, we went to Sea World and then were in South Padre for a week. The girls had a blast on the beach and were not ready to leave. In June, my sister Courtney and my nieces McKenzie and McKayla came up to visit. The girls went to Vacation Bible School and had so much fun playing together. We took them to the McKenna Children's Museum, which they loved. We also attended our nephew, Noah's 1st birthday party. This was fun - they always love a reason to play with ELI ! Hailey and Kaitlyn spent a few nights with Nana & Papa in San Antonio - they got to hang out with cousins and go see WallE. My parents were up for the 4th of July...the girls enjoyed some quality 'Papaw & Neena' time.....we went to Landa Park and watched the fireworks. Hailey and Kaitlyn are joined at the hip these days -- don't know what they would do without one another -- they entertain one another for hours. And Madisyn.....I cannot say enough about her, she is just a sweetheart who has eyes for her momma !!!!
