Glasses

We took Rylan to the pediatric ophthalmologist on Monday and it turns out that his vision is very bad. We had been noticing his left eye crossing for about a month now and turns out the he has something called amblyopia better known as lazy eye. He will have to wear glasses to correct it. We will also have to put drops in his good eye to blur the vision to help correct the lazy eye. The doctor told us that there was no way to tell if the glasses and drops would be a permanent cure but it was certainly a possibility that he wouldn't have to wear them the rest of his life. I am very hopeful that he won't but if he does I am sure that he will wear them beautifully. We took him on Monday to get fitted for them. We also had to order a pair of prescription sunglasses since the drops will be in a sense dilating his good eye so it will be very sensitive to light. Not good for a boy who loves to be outside. Please pray that he adjusts to wearing the glasses and sunglasses well and that mom and dad can remain strict and enforce him to keep them on.

I will save the actual pair of glasses we got for a later post but here is a picture of him modeling a pair.

Sibling love

These two beautiful children are my world. They are so cute when they are together. Words can not describe the love they have for each other. Seeing pictures like these puts a smile on my face.

Spring Festival

Last Saturday after Natalie's t-ball game we went to the Mt. Laurel Spring Festival. Mommy went to do a little shopping while Natalie went to meet Snow White. She was very excited to see her face to face and have her picture made with her. Natalie's picture even made it into a local newspaper ( the Shelby County Reporter) in the lifestyle section.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game...

This sweet little girl keeps has been keeping us very busy. This year she decided she wanted to play t-ball and of course her daddy was very excited .I was nervous that it would be to much on her since we already take dance lessons once a week but she absolutely loves it!! Here are a few pictures of my all star in action.

I love shoes

These are shoes the cutest things ever...not only are the very cute but they are so soft. I am thinking that Rylan needs a pair of these!!

From the mind of a 4 year old...

This weekend we were headed to eat dinner at Cracker Barrel when we drove past a cemetery and Natalie started to ask questions about it. This is a conversation I never want to forget.


The conversation went like this:

Natalie: Mommy...is that heaven?

Me: No Natalie that is a cemetery.

Natalie: Well what's a cemetery?

Me: That's where they bury you when you die.

Natalie: Oh yea. What do they bury?

Me: They bury your body.

Natalie: Ok. Well if that is were they bury your butt then where does your face go?

Me: I said body not butt....you silly girl!

Natalie: No your silly mommy.

Natalie: Well if they bury you then how do we get to heaven to see Jesus?

Me: Your soul goes to heaven.

Natalie: I know where your soul is at...it's under your tummy.

Me: Sure.

And that was the end of the conversation.

After seeing that my talented friend Codie created a button for her blog I knew I needed one for myself. I emailed her and asked her for directions on how to create one and she kindly offered to make me one. I love it! Thanks, Codie. Don't forget to grab her button too :)
