Glasses....

So many of you don't know this, but we had to get glasses for Sienna. We had her seen by an opthamalogist last week and confirmed that she is indeed farsighted. He said that we caught it early enough that we should be able to "reset" her vision basically. So hopefully by the time she turns 9 or so she may not need them anymore. We shall see. She did really great and they look really cute on her. We've also ordered a pair of pink Barbie glasses that should come in this week. I thought you all might enjoy seeing some pictures of her with them on. She also got her 4 year shots today and did fantastic. Because she did so good, I got her the "Highschool Musical" soundtrack and we have all been singing away since.

Sidenote...for some reason I am not able to put the pictures on right now. I will asap. It's probably my lack of knowing what I'm doing. Patience flee!!

Pretty cool...

Just a quick post to say that I am so proud of Asher. He has been reading this Beginning Reader's Bible all evening and he is so proud of himself. In fact, after class tonight at church, instead of running around and playing with his friends (those of you who live here or have visited know what I'm talking about...it's crazy with kids) he sat in a corner, reading his Bible. He read it all the way home, a whole 3 minutes, but still, he read while he was doing a breathing treatment and just seems to be so excited that he can read all of a sudden!! I mean, he's been able to read for some time now, but says he can't. I'm very thankful for the confidence growing in him to try things that may seem hard, and even more so that he picked up his Bible!! God is good. My thoughts tonight are that I pray that the Lord is blessing your families as well.

Sick day!!

Well Asher stayed home from school today because he wasn't feeling good. He ran some fever yesterday afternoon and this morning also. So we went to the Dr. and sure enough, he has a throat infection. We got medicine and went on our way. So today he has been in his room, doing the things that boys do: watching Return of the Jedi, coloring, laying around. Pitiful really. I assure you that he is ok.

I think I can!!

I think I added a picture. Cool!

Here we go...again.

I have tried this before, and gave up, and because some others are getting brave, I thought I'd try again. Sorry girls for being nosy...you know who you are! I hope to keep you all updated on the ins and outs of the Patten's. I know, it's a tough job, and i'm the only one that will do it. Be patient with me as I venture out in the world of technology, for I am technologically challenged. That is all for now. Check back soon for pix and other misgivings.
