September Fun

     Wow! It has been a long time since I have posted any updates. It's a shame too, because I love looking back at all the old posts. I thought since September was such a busy month, I should start there!
     We started off the month running! School was in full swing and we needed to get ready for Pie Festival. This was our first year running the kids games. We helped make and bake pies. Then, we helped with a fundraiser the night before Pie Festival.

The day of Pie festival was a whirlwind! Josiah started us out by running in the Pi-K (3.14 miles). He did an amazing job.  He ran it on 32 minutes. This was his first time running that distance all at once! Next year we are going to train for it.
    Next up were the Kids Games. Jada got first in every game for her age group. Also, Juliet and Jada placed first in the three legged race. They had been practing for that for months. They did amazing.
     We ended the day with dinner at the festival. It was a long day and a lot of preparation, but it all went well!  
     This month we also started meeting a group of other kids at the park. Our first meeting was a huge success! We have one more meeting before the end of the month.
     We took our annual vacation this month too! We visited The Museum of Natural History, Planetarium, Zoo, Aquarium, Bugarium, Chucky Cheese, and McCalls Pumkin Patch! It was a jammed packed weekend, but we had a blast! The kids are getting old enough now that these trips are becoming easier!

      We are expecting baby Love Birds at the very end of this month! We should start seeing them hatch the very last two days of September!

     Phew! September is a very busy month!

Update on Juliet's Chalazion

A picture of the scarring left behind from the  chalazion. We are hoping it fades completely. It's already faded significantly.

Juliet struggled with the chalazion for over a year. If I could do it over again, I would have asked to have it lanced. She now has scarring from it.   We have since found a new eye dr.  She has also been diagnosed with blepharitis in that eye. 
We have had more chalazions and styes develop on that eye lid but have been able to control them with hot compresses and cleaning her eye lids.  These wipes have been a life saver https://www.amazon.com/OCuSOFT-Scrub-Plus-Pre-Moistened-Count/dp/B000US084U/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1489930810&sr=8-4&keywords=eyelid+cleanser
They are so much easier to use than baby shampoo and water. They really help keep the chalazion and styes at bay. One other thing the eye doctor recommended to help with the chalazion was fish oil. Hopefully, we won't have any more big ones like we have in the past.
