We Made It

Since last Tuesday we have had 13 doctor/dentist appointments. Seven of them were Grace's appointments and none of them were for Dallas.

Grace is officially set for dental surgery August 12 at 6:30 in the morning. Talk about an early morning for Dalls and I. UNC hospital is at least an hour away. It should take 2-3 hours in the operating room. Grace will be put completely under. They will remove some teeth, cap some teeth, take xrays, fill some teeth and do whatever else is needed.

And if you are wondering Kristopher still has not called.

Off to Band Camp

Kristopher left bright and early this morning for band camp. He promised he would call tonight. Do you think he did? Nope. He was so excited to get away from our crazy gang he didn't look back.

This will be Kristopher's first year in the marching band. He has always played the trombone in the band but didn't want to try marching band until this year. In the last week they have been working pretty hard.

They are staying at Campbell University(about 45 minutes from here). We are hoping this will be good for Kristopher. He is a very introverted kid. Even his band teacher said maybe this would bring Kristopher out of his shell.

Unfortunately, Kristopher gets back Sunday afternoon and I leave for Florida Sunday morning. I won't get to see him for a week and a couple of days. Maybe that will make him happier to see me when I get back.

Gross!

We forgot to take a picture before applying the lotion,therefore it is shiny.

This was the day after going to the doctor. Does it really look better?

Zachary has Impetigo.

At this very moment, The Hannah Montana 3D concert is on a Tv near you. Julia has been talking about it for days. Here's the gang enjoying the show.

The Not So Good News

Today, Grace her audiology appointment with Wake County Schools. We knew that Grace had high frequency loss in one ear. Her ENT told us it was nothing to worry about at this time. The audiologist, today, said the loss was in both ears. The problem is it is in the inner ear. Her hearing in the middle ear and outer ear are fine. In cases like this it is more difficult for a hearing aide to help. She is going to contact our ENT at UNC hospital and determine if they think a hearing aide would help her. If not she said if Grace qualifies for a preschool class(probably not, she is pretty bright)she would request amplified sound. If she just qualifies for speech it will be more difficult. There are lots of sounds Grace can't hear...s,th,n, etc. Let's hope this won't take too long. Grace as at a crucial age for language development.

Golf Camp

Nicholas and Zachary started golf camp today. They go for 3 1/2 hours a day for 3 days. It is right across the street so it is very convenient. The boys love going and learn so much.

Here is a picture of what happened to Zachary the first time he went to golf camp 2 years ago. They had to change the rules due to Zachary getting hit in the head with a golf club. At the golf course he is the kid who got hit in the head with the golf club and had to get 5 stitches. Nicholas is known as the brother of the kid who got hit in the head with the golf club. There are some things people never forget.

Dallas Getting in Touch With His Feminine Side Happy Birthday, Leigh-Anne

Maybe he did it in honor of Leigh-Anne's birthday or maybe Grace was having a litte fun. Today, my neice had her 18th birthday. She is growing up. In less than a month she will be starting college at University of Central Florida. Happy Birthday, Leighh-Anne!
