Visit to Somerset

In January we took a trip to visit my cousins in Somerset. There was a tree swing that the kids had a blast on. Cousin Jay was so great in pushing the kids on the swing and carrying Naissa from one high spot to another because she was afraid of the dog. She got brave when she finally realized that Bear (the dog) wasn't interested in chasing her or eating her. In fact he just wanted to kick it in the sun.
We got to visit with Dan and Christa (more cousins) who have 2 little ones and another due here in the next couple of weeks. It was a quick visit but totally worth the drive and the blowing up air mattresses and packing for all the "what ifs" and driving in the yucky weather and having my dad drive for me when I got drowsy. (Jim didn't go)

Look what's stole my heart

Raspberry Glasses

Jade's not too fond of this picture and I didn't fix the red eye before uploading it but I wanted a picture of her with her new glasses. She had been complaining that she couldn't see, especially in the classroom for a while so we finally made her an appointment. When she went to the eye doctor we found that her eyes were 20/30 and 20/100! This was much worse than the 20/50 in that eye only a few months ago. There is a name for this but all I can remember about it is that it begins with the letter A and is rather long. Jade is thrilled to be able to see again. I think she looks cute in her raspberry colored glasses.

With bells on

Naissa glued bells onto her feet.

She didn't have a reason other than "because"

One of the reasons I have not blogged in a while.
