Flag Football

Amelia decided she wanted to play flag football just like big brother -- here she is rockin' it at her first game of the season!

The Shirt Says It All

Actually, do they come in my size?

Ten Year Well Visit

Charlie had his ten year well visit with his pediatrician yesterday -- he measured up at 60 1/4 inches tall and 99.6 pounds. This is a three inch gain over last year and a six pound weight gain, which the doctor said was perfect! It also means that he has gained 3 inches for 2 years in a row now -- the doctor told me my days of being taller than him are "very limited" -- oh dear!

No shots needed this year and no health concerns, so an easy check up!

They're Baaaaack....

The lice, unfortunately!! Amelia woke up Sunday morning complaining that her head and neck itched; when I looked she had the same rash on the back of her neck that she did last fall when she had head lice -- OH NO! Sure enough, when I come through her hair with the lice comp I came up with 2 lice and one egg. So we are sentenced to slathering her head in olive oil every night for the next week :( :( Fortunately yesterday's comb through produced nothing, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is a, err, minor infestation this time. Mercifully I did not find any on Charlie although I do feel the need to check his head again i the near future...

Always little enough to be carried by big brother!
