Clothed

I saw this cute outfit at Target this morning and couldn't resist.  I hardly ever buy her clothes so I endulged myself.

 Doesn't she look so grown up, I think its the hair over her ear.  She was as excited to smile for the camera as I was to take her picture... little joy!

At some point, we lost one of her pink dogs so I went to buy her another and they only had brown.  She loves the brown just as much.  The whole point of two is to swap them out to wash one.  Now they are "pink dog" and "brown dog" and she is distraught if one is missing... 

Silly!

I took Peter to the pediatrician this morning for some mouth issues... I feel like his open mouth posture, low tone, tongue protrusion has gotten a little worse over the last few weeks plus some positional wierd breathing things.  So she's gonna have him go to an ENT, which I'm happy about.  She's also gonna ask our insurance to cover speech therapy for him.  It was nice to get out early for that on our first Wed without preschool.  So afterwards, we headed to Target and I scored Lily this cute outfit and some swim trunks for Peter that I'd been eyeing.  Its finally HOT so we are gonna try to hit the pool.  

My head, my heart have been wierd, unsettled lately.  I think its setting in, all that's happened recently.  Over the weekend, we were with our small group at the river and I was talking with a friend and something she said prompted me to say "Yeah, I NEVER imagined my son (child) would have epilepsy*."  And I think that sentence, along with the baby that I was carrying dying is just setting in.  And always framed around that is the much, much too soon passing of Charlie and Alvin.  We want them to still be with us, here.  Its maybe the first time my cushy life (that's still cushy!) has been rocked.  And I can still feel the vibrations.  (And I'm praying for YOU, Holly, all.the.time.)  

2 Cor 4:17-18

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.


*ps- I am thrilled and so very thankful that my little man is doing so well on his Keppra... and its not just the epilepsy, its the possible implications, etc... such a bittersweet mixture, i am not naive that we are blessed that he is doing well but it still changes things, and that is ok, will be ok, just an adjustment.
