Dentist

March 16, 2026

Took all three kids to the dentist – in two visits. It just didn’t work to take them all at the same time but that’s life! These two went first…

checkup

February 6, 2026

Took the kids for their checkup last week! I got no pictures of any of it but we did get good reports of healthy, growing kids!

Maxwell is 5’6 (28th %) and 125 lbs (45th %). Last year he was 5’3 and 100 lbs so he definitely had some good growth and gains!

Spencer is 5’2.5 (53rd %) and 97 lbs (37th %). Last year he was 5’1 and 89 lbs so a year of slower growth for him (but the year before he had grown 3 inches!)

Samantha is 4’6.75 (25th %) and 72 lbs (27th %). I don’t know what she was last year because I forgot to ever take her to her 10 year old checkup! oops!! But, two years ago she was 4’3 and 61 lbs so she’s grown almost 4 inches in 2 years which is great. Based on her %s I do think she’s going to have a case of the GJ and Lulu short syndrome! ha! Whatever height she is she’ll be just perfect! Samantha had to get 3 shots and a finger prick which she handled better than she has in the past. I’ll take it!

Then on Thursday Spencer started the morning like this…

and ended it like this!

Braces! They also yanked out a baby tooth that maybe wasn’t quite ready but was good to go on and get out. Ouch! Spencer handled it all like a champ.

He also chose a nice color that not only matched his shirt but his eyes!

Straight teeth coming soon!

Bad break

April 7, 2025

Samantha had her first soccer game of the season Saturday. I was at baseball while Robert went to the soccer game. Samantha was being the soccer star she is during the first half and scored two goals. She then got tripped up with another girl in the second half and twisted her foot pretty badly. Robert said he could tell right away it wasn’t good…

It swelled up so they decided to head straight to OS1 to get some x-rays.

It was really swollen by that point.

Thankfully the x-rays showed no bone damage – just soft tissue damage. She strained the tendons and ligaments and it’s going to be sore for a while. They told her to wear a boot for a couple of weeks which means to soccer, no volleyball, no tumble. Boo. She was well taken care of while I was away at baseball all day!

It was still really sore Sunday morning – too sore to walk on. But she was able to hobble around in the boot and put those birthday crutches to good use! She even made it to dance that afternoon to watch…

Bummer but thankful it wasn’t worse.

Orthodontist

March 10, 2025

Spencer had an orthodontist checkup last week and he’ll be getting braces this summer. Thankfully he’ll be a one and one!

Not sure if I reported by Maxwell finished up his Invisalign two months ago. His smile is straight and sparkling!
