Mary Kenzie

Mary Kenzie:

"Mommy, I'm doing my action kick to try to get myself going."
Maybe that's what I'm missing in the mornings...my action kick.

"Mommy, why do you always change your mind?" This after I let her do something after first saying "no."

"Sleep...that's what matters to Santa and the Tooth Fairy. If you aren't asleep they won't come; if you are asleep they will come!"

Here are some pictures of my cute girl and her new glasses. At Mary Kenzie's four year old check-up she failed the eye screening. She couldn't see anything on the chart using her left eye. We then took her to a pediatric opthamologist who diagnosed her with amblyopia. Basically her left eye was either nearsighted or farsighted but her right eye worked perfectly, so her brain started telling her left eye to stop working and it did.

She has to wear glasses full time until she's eleven and currently has to wear a patch over her working eye for six consecutive hours a day.

Mary Kenzie has done so great with it all! She loves her glasses and doesn't complain at all about having to wear her patch.

Going to the Chapel...

Yesterday, my sister closest to me in age...Susannah...got married!

It was a beautiful wedding and reception with lots of "miracles" big and small. The rain held off until everyone was safely under the reception tent. The clouds made the ceremony a lot more bearable temperature wise. It was so amazing to have all of my siblings together at the wedding...John came from Oklahoma, Kaitlin from Arkansas, Meredith from New York, and the rest of us live in North Carolina. We haven't all been together since Christmas 2010. This is a picture of me and all of my sisters:
And here is a picture of my brothers:
It was so fun to be in a wedding with my own little girl...I was a bridesmaid and Mary Kenzie was a flower girl.
