Driveway Fun

What fun is sidewalk chalk without chalking all the way into the street?

I wonder what our kind of sort of grumpy neighbors thought of us chalking the shared driveway. Maybe we brightened their day. ha! But, honestly, I really did expect rain.

Sweet Olivia had her 18 month check-up today. She had 2 shots, but it hasn't seemed to phase her--usually her legs are so sore that we can't even touch them without her crying. :(

We tried out a new pediatrician and I really liked her!! She gave us a nose spray to try out for Liv and see if it will help clear out the fluid in her ears. We have another surgery date scheduled for her with her ENT (we ended up canceling last time because she started improving), but maybe we can even cancel again! The pediatrician seemed very positive about her ears clearing up. She also set us up with a speech therapist to help Livie start forming words. She has been hearing as if under water these last few months, so her speech is a little behind. But our pediatrician was also very positive about it all and says she should be talking like a champ by 2 years of age. The pediatrician also pointed out that Liv's right eye is a little bit lazy...not bad, but a little. Hmmm...I haven't noticed it, but we might have a little pink pirate in our house for a few weeks. Gosh, what an information filled office visit!!

Sidewalk chalk brings out other kids. Usually our kids play outside by themselves. We have a sweet little neighbor that is very shy, but loves to come out and play with Olivia. The boys can be too overwhelming for her :) Well, tonight she had a friend visiting her from down the street. Her friend was NOT shy. Wow! Jay and I were completely entertained. And our boys loved every minute of being told what to do--it doesn't matter, as long as they have someone to play with.

Hey! There's me! And my favorite gal in the whole wide world!

What fun. If you don't have a daughter, come and play with mine. :)

I love my family.
