ZOO

About time we updated this! Kyla had an ophthalmology appointment today so I took a day off and Nan, Grandad, Laura, Kyla and I went to the zoo before the appointment. We had great fun and Kyla's appointment went well. Kyla's favorite animals were the monkeys and Laura's either the zebras or birds. We also ate at Sweetie Pie's RibEyes on the way home. YUMMO! Here are some pictures from the adventure.

Camping out and Walking laps

The girls and I had a great time camping out with memaw, pa, and Aunt Clarissa last weekend. The highlights included frog catching, fishing, roasting marshmallows, driving pa's truck, and playing with cousins. We had a blast.























We are back in the swing of things at school this week. Kyla had an emotional Monday. Talking out in class with a guest teacher earned her and a few others some laps around the track. Note: maybe not an appropriate consequence for a kiddo with CMS. She was pretty tired and emotional the rest of the day. We live and learn around here...

medicine and dance

Took some pics of Kyla and Laura before church again today. Kyla is managing first grade okay and seems to love being back in school. She starts dance tomorrow and is excited about that. Neely and I are anxious to see how that experience goes for her. She went to the neurologist in Ft. Worth last week and is officially off the liquid Mestinon and on to the pill form!!!! She is so excited. The pill "tastes much better, mom." Same dosage just not the raspberry flavor!

Laura is adjusting to Kyla being at school and always ask when we get home, "How you day mommy?" Love that girl!!!!

Love to all!

School Starts

Here are a few pics of the 1st day of the first grade. Kyla said it was "fantastic, perfect, just what I dreamed of..." :)

New Beginnings

A few pictures of the girls the last few days before Kyla starts 1st grade. Kyla has been sick with a cold and a little on the weak side, but she is such a champ. She is really excited about school. Laura will miss her so. I will miss them both...

The Drama

I got home tonight around 9:10 and found a little drama at the Carter house. Kyla was crying and saying, "Oh, this is just horrible!" as only Kyla can. Sabrina put the girls to bed at 8:30, and, right before I got home, Kyla had started screaming. While in bed (supposedly trying to go to sleep), she wadded up a small piece of a Kleenex and stuck it in her nose (don't know why). Well, it got stuck up in there. When I got there, Kyla was laying down flat and Sabrina was looking up her nose to see if she could see the Kleenex. Laura was just hanging out, watching the drama unfold before her. The girls sleep on a bunk bed, with Laura on bottom and Kyla on top. Anyway, Sabrina couldn't see the Kleenex, so we got Kyla to tell us how big the piece was and it seemed the piece was small enough that she had possibly swallowed it. Of course, Kyla just kept saying how horrible this whole thing was. She said that her nose felt "pinchy." Then, I asked Kyla if she had tried to blow it out. She replied in Kyla style, "I haven't thought of that." She blew her nose a couple of times and out flew the small piece of Kleenex. All was fine once again in Kyla's world and both girls were able to go to sleep. There's just no manual for these sorts of things.

Fun in the "Hot" Sun

The girls and I spent some time in the backyard this morning. It seems the best pictures happen when you are really not trying to get them. I love these girls!
