April, May, June 2023 (ear surgery, Mother's Day)

 The doctors performed an ultrasound of Avery's ear and found out that her inner ear wasn't formed correctly and was missing a part of a bone. (You can see what the doctor said below and see a diagram of the inner ear). She ended up having surgery to correct this with the hopes that her hearing would improve on her right side. They put a tube on her left side. After it seemed to be healed, they performed multiple hearing exams and found out that the surgery did improve her hearing on the right side. It didn't improve it enough so that she has normal hearing but it is definitely better than it was before.

Avery finished her last day of 4th grade. They had a 4th grade clap out and Avery just walked with her head down because pretty much everyone and their grandma (including Avery's grandma lol) was there to cheer them on. Avery hates big crowds and she hates when all eyes are on her. Anyways, she was very sad to be leaving 4th grade because that meant she would be leaving her intervention specialist behind that she has had for 4 years. Avery loved Mrs. F so much. She was amazing with Avery.  We were also sad and nervous because that is all Avery has known. She has to switch schools and buses and teachers and it's just a lot of change. Since I am so far behind on updating the blog, she has been doing well in middle school. She is amazing and just goes with the flow of things.

Reagan finished up Kindergarten and is now in 1st grade. She was a little nervous to ride the bus without her big sister but she is doing great.

Here are some pictures that were taken in April, May and June.


Mommy, me and Ray Ray

Not sure why but we like to hold up the peace sign in pics.



This is the card we made Daddy for Father's Day


This is how Ray Ray fell asleep one day. Giant is her favorite stuffed animal

Swimming in our pool

Reagan lost a tooth at Mommy's

Look how happy I am standing next to my favorite teacher. I just love her!

Walking through the 4th grade clap out, head down, not looking at anyone

I wouldn't even look up for Mommy to take a picture of me when she asked.

Reagan and her teachers.

Peace out 4th grade and Kindergarten. See, peace signs again.



Lily and Medes sitting together and not fighting. Its a miracle

What is Ray Ray doing?!


Every year I create a thank you card for my teachers and specialists and give it to them on the last day of school

Happy Mother's Day Momma. Next year, I don't think she will be able to hold both of us at the same time. We are getting too big.
