Fun Fun Fun

Brooke did have her appointment with her pulmonologist (lung doctor).  I asked Steve to come with, because 4 ears are better than 2, and he can buffer my thoughts (I have a strong personality sometimes that needs taming.)  When we get there Brooke goes and does a bunch of breathing tests.  It took a little while this time.  I kept thinking, "oh brother, we're in trouble."  The inhalers they told me to give her last year, I failed to give.  I voluntarily didn't give them and I was prepared for them to be upset with me.   Brooke came back, PA came in and said all the tests look good.  She does not see why Brooke would need the inhalers, with the exception of if she's sick.  She said she might get sick faster than others, due to a lower immune system, but it appears she had a great year.   WOW!  We were so happy!!!  And we agreed, but the doctors don't always agree with us :)  So it's a pleasant surprise when they say, "don't come back unless you need us." 

So now that we put the asthma thing to rest, Brooke has decided to carry on with something else.  Glasses!!!  She is actually super excited about them.  At her physical they said her eyes changed a little, have them checked out.  So we did.  It appears one eye is normal and the other is not and she has astigmatism.   She is suppose to patch her good eye, once a day, to strengthen her other eye and then wear glasses as much as she can.  All do able.  Macy was bummed.  She said, " I was the one that wanted glasses.  Brooke gets all the fun things."  Hehehe, oh my!  Poor girl! 
Macy is wearing my glasses.  Had to feel included :)

The other new addition is...........a car!  We found the car for Leah.  The venture for a car has been interesting.  It consisted of Steve and I both on line searching and sending each other links (often times we were in the same room).  Then I'd drag him all over to look at some crappy car.  I don't think Leah had much hope.  Her expectations were/are low :)  But when we asked her, what she thought, she said, "I'll drive whatever you buy.  I may not tell you it's good looking, but I'll drive it."  We found some interesting automobiles. And we laughed a lot.  We settled on an Intrigue.  Oddly enough, we had an Intrigue when she was born.  She doesn't remember that :)  She seems ok with it.  There's been a lot of washing, fixing up, making it her own and saying, "dad can I drive it.  Dad can I drive it, Dad can I drive it.  Please DADDY!".  She has 2 months til she gets her license so I told her I'm going to break it in :) 

2 girls are off at camp!  Megan and Ashley are at camp Geneva.  Home is quiet, in a strange way.  But we pray they are having a riot, away from their sisters and family.  Becoming the young women God intends them to be.  Let your light shine ladies!!!

1 1/2 weeks til school starts.  So crazy!  I'm ready, and I'm not ready.  On days they are fighting, it's time to go to school.  On days they are getting along, I want summer to last forever.  Soon enough they will all be in school.    What shall I do with myself?   :)  I'm pretty sure it'll be ok!
