I took Izzy to the orthotist at Children’s hospital this week to pick up her new back orthotic.  She was not excited! 

It has been going pretty well, but we will go back this week to have some adjustments made.  Hopefully we can get it comfortable enough for her to wear it happily. 

Iz made lots of st. patrick’s day crafts this week at school.  Including this cute leprechaun house.  It’s so cute and has a furry floor and everything! 

She brought home these flowers.  The intent was to have green water to turn them green for the holiday… but when someone suggested orange her yes hand went up instantly so they made her flower water orange.  She also brought home a beautiful flower they’ve been growing at school from a bulb.  If I haven’t mentioned it before, she has the best teachers at school! They do the most fun stuff ever!

She has had a great week at school this week!  Lots of good reports from her teacher!  She had a great day working with Camilla on Thursday too.  Here she is snuggled up with me all tired out from big school days …

Bailey had a drama competition this weekend that was a pretty big deal and a qualifier for state.  He MADE IT!  This is him all ready to go early Friday morning.  He tried to pretend that he didn’t make it when he got home late Friday night, but I saw through it.  He hasn’t made it home yet tonight, but texted to tell me he got a medal!

Today is Emelia’s 12th birthday! What a day!  It ended with a shopping trip.  I think she had a great day!

She opened her roller blades last night and was pretty excited.

She’s been skating all day!  In the house, and everywhere else! 

Amanda is home for spring break.  It’s so nice to have the kids all home.
