Prominent Iris Crypts

I have noticed since Brooke was born a spot on her eye. I asked the pediatrician and she referred us to an pediatric ophthalmologist. They got us in right away- Kind of scary- She has great vision and was diagnosed with a prominent iris Crypts. We are to watch it over the next 6 months but in his opinion it is clearly cosmetic- The camera for some reason picks up the spot really well in low light- there is actually on in each eye but the one on her left is most apparent.

Crump park

We took the kids to a park near our house the other day and we were surprised to find out that it was civil war days- they had all different tasks and jobs for the kids to do on the farm. They could dig sweet potatoes, feed the cows and horses, shell black eyed peas, spin wool. It was the first time taking the kids somewhere to ride there bikes- we had a lot of fun.

Washington DC with three kids

Last weekend we took the kids up to WA DC. We had a very tiring blast and lots of walking with the three kids- I Can totally understand why it isn't fun for them. Looking at old buildings. When I told kaitlyn how old the capital was she said.... Mom so it was built the same time grandma lynda was born. I started laughing so loud people started looking. She apparently has no idea of time yet. We were able to take a tour of the Capital- we walk to the library of congress, White house, american history museum, we saw the Washington monument. Lets just say it was memorable. In the history musuem we got to see the Ruby slippers from wizard of oz. Julie childs kitchen, lincoln's suit and top hat all the first ladies dresses.
