ISU Gamma Phi Circus Camp!

Grayson attended circus camp last week for the 1st time. He seemed to enjoy it and it looked like the kids had a great time. There was a show for the parents on Friday afternoon so the kids could show off all of their hard work. It was 3 hrs long in a VERY hot gym on ISU's campus. :) Grayson only forgot to go out for one of his talents. He said he didn't hear them call him. Jeff tooks tons of pics and I took some video clips.

Baby Gaga

We are babysitting the Price's dwarf hamster this week - her name is Baby Gaga and the kids LOVE her!

Aleigha's surgery....

Aleigha had 9 cavities that had to be filled. The only option was to put her under to get it done. Poor baby. It was a long and tiring day for all of us. We arrived at the hospital at 6am and didn't get to leave until 2:30 pm. She is doin alright tonight but very tired and whiney.. as to be expected. Her surgery lasted 2 hrs. They did x-rays, cleaned her teeth, filled 6 cavities and put a crown/cap on 3 of them. So glad it is over!!

Aleigha is almost 3....

Aleigha is having dental surgery on Thursday to fill 6 cavities! So we had to get her 3 yr old check up before the surgery to make sure she is healthy and ok to be sedated. She saw Dr. Knoll today and she weighs 29.5 lbs and is 36 inches tall. Her height is in the 25th percentile for her age and 45th percentile for weight.
She will be 3 yrs old on January 25th! We have invited family and a few friends to celebrate. I'll be posting pics !

I forgot to tell Shelly this story this morning.
AB got up early this morning and was sitting at the kitchen table with me, eating Lucky Charms at 5 am this morning. She was looking at the fireplace and the stockings for her and GB. She asked me…
“So when are we going to give Santa his socks back?”

Pretty cute for a 2-year old.
