finally, an update from me!

soooooooooo emerson had a hearing test on nov 30. it STILL shows fluid in both ears, packed in there, and flat eardrums... and this one showed moderate hearing loss, both ears. the other 2 hearing tests said her hearing was within "normal range" so i think this fluid needs to go ASAP! this likely means tubes, but i won't know more until our appointment with her ENT on Jan 18th. seems like everything takes so long!

we also still haven't heard anything regarding her g-tube hole that needs stitching up. i want that done soon, it's getting gross and staining her clothes :(
we have an appointment with her pediatrician tomorrow morning, so i'm going to bring up EVERYTHING, including the purple hands, feet, etc. with my luck, they won't be purple tomorrow though! LOL!

hmmm what else is new? oh! i have come to a decision re: kai and gymnastics. i'm NOT going to put him in the competative, but we can revisit the idea next fall. i had decided that 2 hours, 2x/week was ok... but then i started thinking about may, june, july, onward and my kids (and i) LOVE spending time at the playgrounds, going for walks, etc. and i hate having a scheduled "thing" in the summer. so, i thought there's no point in him joining right now, we can see what next fall brings us. by then he may start hockey and the gymnastics might get put on the back burner.

i've signed both hallie and kai up for gymnastics again in january though, this time they'll take a class together for 1.5 hrs each week. they LOVE going every week!! i love watching it too.... not like dancing where you're not allowed to watch, or like other sports that can get.... *yawn*... i won't say it...

emerson got her first "real" haircut at a salon this week! i'm not sure i love the results, as it looks like a straight across line now at the back, but it needed a trim and it still looks cute. i'll add some pics! (taken with my old sony point and shoot cam, it fits in my diaper bag better!)
this week was supposed to be our "not busy" week, but it's turned into a busy one! we had something going on each day.... i got almost NO laundry done and it REALLY needs to be done. (see pic)

i'm looking forward to the weekend. only 1 photo session booked, and hallie has a bday party to attend -- i'll get some stocking stuffer shopping done while she's at the party :) (hey, kipp doesn't need to know it's a "drop off" party! ;)

i had a late dinner last night with friend sara! i always love our dinners and chats, she is a great friend... i wish we could get together more often! too bad the girls are in different kindergarten times this year. we should really plan something one weekend so the kids can get together too! (although i secretly like our kid-free time a LOT hehe)

ok, i should run.... i have a pile of rubbermaid bins i need to sort through still tonight... and of course watch part 2 of grey's anatomy, continued from last week. looks very good!
wait, one more thing -- i just got a notice in the mail that the muttart is CLOSING for renos starting jan 2 until oct 8th. ACK! this was my new favorite photo place that i was planning to use until the spring. well THAT REALLY SUCKS!!! but i'm sure it will be even more beautiful, maybe bigger, etc. when it's done.... in time for next winter's pictures!

take care! sorry the updates are few and far between. i am finding myself a bit tired these days, and trying to get to bed an hour or so earlier than before. daytime is busy with the kiddos, their school, their activities, their friends, the dayhome, etc.... and when i AM on here, i'm usually editing pictures. so there!


blogger never uploads in the order i want. ok so here is emerson's "AFTER" pic of her haircut. blurry and can't see it well, but that's the best i got!
once again, not the order i wanted... but has anyone seen my baby girl??? or just my HUGE laundry pile?! normally i love doing laundry, but this week i am on strike i think!
emerson in the hair salon... looking a bit worried. she had no clue what was going on!
awwwww.....
she remained very serious throughout the whole thing! ha!
