Pipers

Piper's little friend in South Carolina used to call her Pipers - I was thinking about that the other day, hence the title. I threw in a picture of Bailey because they were just so gosh darn cute in their matching dresses! I love this picture of Piper because she looks SO confidant!! Like 'here I am!'

Anyway, today was a sad day for Piper. She woke up with...























PINK EYE!!! Sadness! I've never had pink eye and wasn't really sure that's what it was but I figured I'd better take her to the doc just to make sure. Thank Heaven I did because...


One of her tubes fell out and she actually had an EAR INFECTION!!!! OH NO THEY ARE BACK!!!!

I couldn't believe it! I told the doctor I wasn't sure it was pink eye because she really wasn't complaining about them or itching them. The doc asked if she had a runny nose or cough. And actually she JUST got a cough on Tuesday. THEN she asked if she was complaining about her ears. I said 'no' because she wasn't and then explained that she had tubes blah blah. So the doctor looked her over and turns out ONE of her tubes has fallen out and GUESS WHAT, that ear has an infection. So poor little Piper(s) has an ear infection, a cough, and pink eye in BOTH eyes!! She's so tough, though, and never complains about being in pain! Anyway, thank heaven for antibiotics and happy 4 year olds. HOPEFULLY, this is her only infection and we won't have to re-do the tubes thing!! NOT FUN for her or my wallet!

Summer Fun!

We've been having tons of fun this summer and keeping super busy!! I just love the Houston Children's Museum and so do the girls! We went a couple weeks ago with some friends and I think we could have spend a couple days there!! We loved it so much we got a year pass!! The girls LOVE LOVED the shopping center and could have spent all day just there!! Then they have the vet clinic which, of course, was a huge hit. Bailey adopted the big brown dog and wanted to take it home:) I think the girls want a dog:)

And THANK HEAVEN for POOLS!!! We've been keeping relatively cool this summer thanks to the many pools around. We LOVE the pool where we live and have been taking advantage of it weekly! The girls have turned into fish!

This last week Piper took swimming lessons from a girl at church. She had such a blast and has really gained a lot of confidance. She kept begging for more... can I dive again, can I jump in again, is it my turn again. Too fun!

And of course there is gymnastics! WE LOVE
gymnastics!! Piper has gained SOOOOO much self confidence doing it and just LOVES it. I was going to quit when summer came but I just can't bring myself to pull her out. She loves it and i love watching her and Bailey loves watching her!! So for now we're sticking with it:)
