Janey's glasses

Janey has been complaining of a headache everyday for the last couple of weeks. I took her to the pediatrician, and he suggested we get a real eye exam done. We had the appointment on Monday. Her vision is 20/20, but her eye focusing muscles are over focusing three times higher than they should. The dr. Said that it is like her eye muscles are doing aerobics all day. These are the glasses she picked out, and we are all glad we figured out the source for all the headaches. She will wear them at school, and anytime she is reading/writing/drawing etc. She does not have to wear them just doing regular activity. This focusing problem can correct as she gets older, we will just get an exam done each year to see what happens. 

Girls in a tree

The girls love to climb the two trees that are in the middle of our front yards!! 

Piano recital

Mary Varner had a piano recital today at one of the local Senior Centers. It was a masquerade, so all the students dressed up. MV wore her black cat Halloween costume. I have a video I will upload once I get it from her teacher. 

Heart Check

Janey had her yearly heart check up this week.  Jim had to be out of town for work, so Grandaddy and Nana came to go with us.  Janey's valve defects are still behaving like they should, and her doctor said he would see her this time next year.  We are so thankful for God's continued protection of Janey's heart.

Watching "The Little Mermaid" while waiting to get her echo done!

Getting her EKG done like a pro

After the appointment, we went across the street to the mall to eat lunch.  We went into Claire's to get MV a black cat mask she wanted for her Halloween costume.  Janey enjoyed playing in all the pretty accessories while I got the mask.

County Fair

The girls had a dance performance at our county fair a couple of weekends ago.  Jim tried to get pictures of them on stage dancing, but they did not turn out very clear.  After the dance was over, we all enjoyed riding some of the fair rides.  

We watched a few pig races, and Janey posed for a pig picture!

Jim and Mary Varner rode this ride called, " Magic Carpet".  You can not tell in this picture but it swings around pretty fast.

Another ride that Mary Varner rode was this cliff glider one where you lay on your belly, and it flies you around in the air!

I decided to go on the scrambler with the girls.  

We finished up with a slide down the Fun Slide.

Camping

We reserved a cabin at Topsail Hill State Park a couple of weekends ago.  John and Rena had their family there camping all week in their travel trailer.  We had a great time as usual except for the biting flies on the beach.
