Here is your weekly update on "a day in the life of quads"... not very much has happened this week... we were supposed to have a pt session, but there were some scheduling conflicts so we will probably be having therapy next week... i guess so far the biggest thing that has happened is i took bekah to her eye appointment... she seemed to have been getting better and not crossing her eyes as often... monday she did it only 3 out of 10 times.. the other two days it was around 5 out of 10... in previous weeks.. she would cross them 7 or 8 times... so it seems like an improvement (to me)... i told the doctor this and he examined her.... his concern is that 5 even though it has dropped is a lot... and also that when she crosses them they stay crossed for awhile.. they dont immediately return.... so we are scheduled for surgery for August 21 at 9am.... im trying not to think about it... i feel that if i do... i WILL start worrying... he says that their is a possibility that it will "fix" for awhile but then might go back to crossing them and have to do another surgery... he also said that their is a possibility that surgery could fix her eyes crossing out but might make them cross in... so again surgery... or their is the possibilty (which im praying for and ask that you do to) is surgery will fix her eyes from crossing at all... and of course their is the possibility of losing the eye... so im trying not to think on that... the good news in all this is... we are going back for another appointment in two weeks Aug 6... where he will measure her eyes again... just checking her near and far sightedness. we are still praying for a miracle that she wont have to have surgery at all... but knowing its already scheduled... is a little stressful... and again im really not trying to think about it... i just hope and pray that if she does have surgery her eyes will be corrected and not need another surgery...

for other other little ones... they are doing well... babbling and mimicing us so much... its a lot of fun to listen to them jabber and say words... very cute to hear how their voices will sound.... this pic is from sunday... everyone in jean and white polo... they looked so cute.. but i dont think our church nursery likes that we put them in matching outfits all the time... thankfully this last sunday my friend was in the nursery and she is able to tell them apart.... they are doing very well in the nursery.. pretty much every time we drop them off we have a crier.. and usually someone different every time...

they are doing pretty well... our baby fish are still alive but one of our original fish "little black" died last night... we gave him a burial at sea... it was a little sad.. cause we have had them since the fourth of july weekend.. he was or seemed fine yesterday but he was dead last night.... our other "originals" are still swishing.... so... my mom got bekah a doll stroller the other day but no dolls have made it in... the boys would rather sit in it and be pushed around than push around a doll... bekah too... as soon as i set it up for her.. she grabbed the doll out and pushed around an empty stroller till i think it was austin figured out he could sit in it... very cute ill post some pics of that at the next post... im thinking about our birthday pics we will be getting done in january... either black and white or i dont know... i keep going to black and white.. but bobby doesnt want to discuss it yet because its too soon... so he says... i like to plan and have lists... and i plan WAY in advance... i dont know... anyway.. im just rambling now sooooo ill "talk" to ya'll later....

i hope you have enjoyed this segment of "a day in the life of quads"...
