Changes

We have had a few changes lately that are making me feel old as I realize how much my kids are growing up. Kylie got contacts about a month ago and I think I am finally getting used to seeing her without glasses on her face! She is doing great with them and feels like she can see so much better. I am the same way- I can't stand wearing glasses anymore.
Tanner finished up with his braces and he's got some nice straight teeth now. They look so good! He's glad to be back eating whatever he wants now without worrying about food in the braces!

Sick of being sick!

We have had a real run of sickness in our house this winter. Usually we are all really healthy so this has been a different couple of months! I keep hoping we have had our share and are done with all this and then something else pops up. Just this morning I was up at 3 am with Kenzie throwing up (we haven't had that yet) and then Tanner just came home from church all white and clammy. What is up with that?
Kenzie has had the worst of it. I think she has pretty much had it all in the last couple of months. She had strep twice in a row and then followed it with a cough/cold/ear infection, and now stomach flu. The pediatrician sent her to an ear, nose, throat doc and now she is scheduled to have her tonsils out at the end of the month. I am both dreading it and glad about it because I know it will be bad for a little while but better in the long run. She has some huge tonsils and she snores when she sleeps so it will help that too. My baby having surgery!
I think I'll go disinfect my house now!
