This Weekend's Take Away

If you can believe it, I didn't take any pictures this weekend. But, I do have quite a few things to talk about. Friday morning, I took Payton to the Orthopedic doctor regarding her feet turning a little more inward than they should. I was a little surprised to learn that the reason that her feet turn inward, is because her hips are curved in slightly. Her feet are adjusting to make her walk straight. The doctor told me that he thinks over time, as she grows, the problem will correct itself. If we need to do any sort of treatment, it will be when she turns 13, about the time she is fully grown. The doctor seemed pretty confident that she won't need any treatment. Great news for this mama to hear!
We spent Friday evening playing outside. We had a near 70 degree day and we took full advantage of the beautiful day. We played basketball. Payton and Addi rode their scooters and bikes. We ended up in the back yard playing on the slide, practicing some t-ball, and then playing a little soccer. Karsyn didn't take her eyes off the balls we were playing with. It won't be long until she's playing too.
Saturday morning, Evan played his first basketball game. I know, I know, I didn't take any pictures. But, there was a mix up on his jersey and so he didn't have one to wear. His team was beat 23 - 8. Evan scored one basket during the game and he got one foul called on him. Both his papas and his daddy seem to get a big kick out of both of those things. =) He did AWESOME! Evan has a game face that is second to none. He played very hard. We left the court with sweat dripping down his face. Once he gets his jersey, there will be LOTS of pictures.
Saturday afternoon, the kids and I went to see my sister, Ashley's, new house. She had us over for a play date with her daughter, Jessi, and a little boy that goes to our church named Jason. Her new home is beautiful. The kids had a great time playing. We walked down to her neighborhood playground. We had 6 tired kids after that.
We missed church this morning. I don't like missing church at all, especially when I hear they had a great service this morning. Why did we miss you ask? Karsyn has hit her 6 month growth spurt and I was up with her at least 5 times last night. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep my eyes open. I was able to get almost a 2 hour nap in, thanks to my great hubby. We also rearranged Evan's bedroom and I reorganized Addi's dresser, so at least we're making progress on our resolution of being more organized, right? I hope you all had a great weekend too!
