Our Kids

We have been quite busy. I am finally uploading all the mischief we have been in to on our Flickr site so feel free to hop over if you are interested.

We did try to get out to see Santa the other day. So far every year the girls have declined a visit with Santa even shunning a train trip to the North Pole. This year looked promising as they were very excited about a trip to see Santa and their BFF Kate was going to the North Pole on the train with Santa. So we planned an outing, talked about it and right up until we got to his little house they were excited, really excited. But alas, when the moment came they declined saying that Santa was too scary. I am glad we did not plan on that trip to the North Pole this year, maybe next year:)

The girls had their 5 year check up today and here are the details:

Piper:
Weight – 35.2
Height – 40 3/4#
She is hanging in at that 25% for height and weight which is where she has been most of her life.

Lela:
Weight: 39#
Height: 43.5 inches
She is in the 50% for weight and 75% for height.

The girls are all checked out and doing great. I have gotten much more lenient on vaccinations in the past few years so we skipped those for now which even made the nurse happy:)

The girls had an eye check and both are doing good, I think Lela needs to see an optometrist to monitor one of her eyes but the Ped said Piper but I think she was reading the wrong chart (so it goes with twins). I am back there tomorrow with Landis so I will double check on that. Lela still has fluid behind her left ear but the tube is in so it can drain if it needs to and hopefully the bacteria is working its way out of town (or out of her ears at least).
