May Play

Madelyn and Henry are about two weeks apart in these photos. If their clothes were swapped, I'm not sure even I could tell them apart.

Maddie has a bazzillion pairs of sunglasses, but what hip mom can say no to purple kids'-sized aviators? Not this one.

We had Henry dedicated to the Lord on Sunday May 8 at our church Mosaic. It also happened to be Mother's Day, which was pretty cool.

Feels like just last year we were up on that stage having Madelyn dedicated. Now look at those long legs of hers!

I will hold this little boy while he sleeps as long as I possibly can. Someday when I'm looking (up) at his grown up chiseled man face, I will treasure these memories.



Madelyn showing off her freshly dilated pupils. We've had some concerns about her vision, so she and I visited a pediatric ophthalmologist the other morning. I cannot overstate how proud I am of how she did. It was a long appointment and there were a lot of demands on her sitting abilities. But she followed every direction and took three rounds of stinging eye drops like a champ without crying or protesting (although there were some pretty rad facial expressions). Ultimately, she is slightly near sighted, but the doctor doesn't recommend prescription lenses at this time. Madelyn was devastated by this news. She had her heart set on a darling little pair of purple Betsy Johnson frames...that cost three times as much as my current frames. She has solid taste, that's for sure. Dodged that bullet for now :)
