So, I sort of forgot to post in October. There wasn't too much going on. I will have to wait on October photos, because you might see them later on in December. Just sayin'.
I did have a birthday, of which there are also no pictures (because I take them all), and it was peaceful and fun. Just the way I like it.
November has come and gone, and I totally missed posting. Argh! How is it already December 1st? Oh well.
We had a busy month. In happy news, we spent Thanksgiving in Walsenburg and got to see quite a bit of my mom's family. It was so fun to see everyone. It was also crazy with seven kids under 7, and *insert Dena counting on her fingers** 12 adults. Crazy, but super fun. So crazy in fact that I only have a couple of pictures, and not even of all the kids. But I will share, regardless.
So, yep. They were outside a lot - unseasonably warm weather we've been having here in Colorado. Overall, lots of yummy food and fun conversation. Thanks to all who came!
In other news...Logan has had his glasses for over 2 years now. He first got them because his Preschool teacher noticed his eyes turning in. As it turns out, he does have an eye turn in both eyes. It is actually pretty bad, and the glasses are not correcting it all the way. So before and after Thanksgiving we had appointments with a Vision Therapy center. They did 2 hours of tests on Logan, and we got the results on Monday.
He does have lazy-eye (I forget the actual name) in both is eyes because he is so very farsighted. Not only that, he still has double vision with corrective lenses, is struggling with certain motor skills associated with vision (balance, and symmetric skill mastery), and has almost no depth perception. Poor little dude!
All of this means that we have just ordered for him a pair of bifocals, and he is scheduled to begin what will likely be 60 weeks of therapy to help his eyes work correctly. We are hoping that this treatment is effective and actually helps him, as it is not covered by insurance. So, your prayers that he gets the correct help are much appreciated!
As December and Advent start, we are getting the house ready for the holidays, and finishing up the second quarter of school. We are on track to finish right on time so hopefully we won't have too many more sick days.
Hope that you are also doing well, and that your Thanksgiving was as great as ours.
Until next time...
