McKenzie's Week

This is not McKenzie's week. First she got bit by a spider at church (we think). She didn't see it, only knew that it hurt and was very itchy. Last night the kids had their first gymnastics classes, which they loved. I was hesitant to let Kenzie participate in the class because she had a 103.00 fever. My mom was certain that it would be ok, since she thought Kenz had a UTI and it wouldn't be contagious. Turns out, mom is correct, she has a UTI. She is also getting her 6 yr molars too! What a week for the kid. She will be out of school until Thursday for sure. The doctor wrote the note for her to be out until Monday if necessary.

The last time McKenzie went to the doctor, he was concerned about her weight. He didn't want to her gain anymore because if she keeps gaining at the current rate she is going, she could be at risk for a multitude of things. The most devastating to a child being ridicule by classmates. Since her last visit to the doctor about 3 weeks ago, she has lost 2 pounds and grown a 1/2 inch. She is 69 lbs and 48 1/4 inches tall. I am so proud of her. She was hoping Dr. Ruth would be there so she could tell him how well she was doing. She is growing so fast. Dr. Ruth predicted that she would be at least 5'4". I wonder if he will be right, or if she will be taller........

She got her first report card last week. She did great! She only had a couple of things that she needed to work on. The best part of her report card was the comment made by Ms. Cox. She said, "McKenzie is kind to all in our class." What a great compliment to get on your child. I know she didn't get that quality from me or Luke.

Birthday Gathering for Dylan

Dylan turned one on September 28th. Larissa wasn’t able to have his party as scheduled because the little guy to the chicken pox. He hadn’t had the vaccine because they don’t give it until babies are about 18 months old. I wasn’t worried about McKenzie and McKaleb because both are up to date on their shots.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the party











Look at them cramming as much icing as they could into their mouths!!!













McKenzie's expression is priceless!
