In 9 days we have had 15 doctors appointments, including one surgery, and 2 other legal appointments. I can't believe how many doctors we have seen and how much we have gotten done in such a short time. I am looking forward to this next week...as of right now, we have only ONE day with doctor appointments scheduled! I hope it stays that way!
Hudson really enjoyed driving at the grocery store. We didn't buy much and what we did buy would not be listed on the healthy chart, but it was fun :) I was impressed that all of the cold thing were put in a different colored plastic bag to make it easier to find when you are putting groceries away. I'm sure it's been around for awhile and nothing new, but I thought it was/is a great idea. We did make a trip to the mall to get some needed things. One of the major things I wanted to get done was to take Hudson to Stride Rite and get him fitted for a good pair of shoes to help his feet. He walked into the store wearing a size 4 and left wearing a size 7. They look so good on him and he LOVES them. He is already walking and running so much better in them than when we got him.
At the mall, the kids (with the exception of Regan) wanted to spend their money that they have saved at Build-A-Bear. Lauren was dressed all in pink and ended up buying a pink kitty.
Benjamin chose a Captain American bear and dressed him as a Jedi. Ha! That's my boy!
We finally found some shoes for Katherine. We looked for several days and all over the place before we found a pair that fit her well AND that she liked. These definitely look like her.

Jonathan and Hudson ready to cheer for Tennessee! I am glad that Hudson loves orange :)
Hudson giving his fake pouty face at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. I really wouldn't blame him if it was real after all of the doctor's visit he had already had.
I couldn't have been more impressed with this hospital. It was amazing. Every person there was so friendly and professional AND catered to the kids. After Hudson got into his hospital clothes, he was given his car to roam through the hallways and play. When it was time to go back to surgery, they actually just drove him back in his car. No tears. No anxiety. Just fun.
Katherine got her first pair of glasses and I got new glasses.
It's been pretty cold out so the kids have been spending more time inside. They decided to have a contest to see who has the cutest stuffed animals. The prize ribbons are waiting to be awarded. They have delayed the judging until Katherine has her contestant ready :)
This is one happy girl. I am so proud of how hard she has worked to earn her iPad. She has earned her 1,000 stars for reading books.
Auntie Em has arrived!!! Let the fun begin ;)
Regan is officially taller then her Auntie Em. We decided to measure Regan after this picture and she is now 5' 5 1/2"
Group selfie. It's missing Benjamin, but he was not wanting to be in pictures today.
