Family Easter

This pic has mom in it
This pic has Aunt Phee...you are not seeing double!!

Logan and I stayed up in Ohio for Easter...we hate we missed out on the BIG celebration that Aunt Phee and Uncle Coy had...It looks like they had a great time...but I can tell we were missed....Jason had Logan Easter day...so it was very hard going to church and celebrating by myself. I did eat a wonderful lunch with Sheri, John and their boys and girls...
Thank yall for inviting me into your family!

When I checked my email that Sunday night, mom had emailed me pictures of Easter in Tupelo...looks like everyone had a blast, and the sign definitely brought tears to my eyes...My family is wonderful and means the world to me...Logan and I miss you all dearly and can't wait til we are back HOME!!! Thank you for all the love, support and prayers...

KINDERMISIK

My favorite toy that I did not want to give up....a coffee can??
Dancing with Ms. Christa...

Drum...Drum, with my new friends (by the way, the are all younger than me and are walking)

Ready for the Beach!!!

About 2 weeks ago, Logan and I joined the music class Kindermusik...he loves music, so I thought he would enjoy this class...and he does..below is a paragraph describing Kindermusik... We have made new friends and are learning how to drum...drum..., pick up toys by incorporating a song, exploring different colors and textures, and trying to share (not so good at this yet). When we were putting up the cans that made sound...Logan threw a fit and made the sadest pout...Ms. Christa, the instructor just let him have it back..

Peekaboo, I Love You! - In five lessons, learn new songs, lullabies, and ways to say "I love you" using touch, Mother Goose rhymes, literature books, and chants. Activities include instrument play, American Sign Language, and special parent-baby dances that stimulate your baby's eyes, body and mind. Parents connect with other newborns and families in the community as well as learn how music improves the child development process.

Eye Appointment

Well, we travelled up to Columbus to see Logan's favorite eye doctor, Dr. Dave Rogers...He asked how the patching was going ...and we were honest...it has never gone too well...and the older he gets , the more creative he becomes in taking or "rubbing" the patch off... and to be quite honest...I have never really noticed a difference...I had been doing research on atropine drops and Dr. Dave said we could give it a try...SO...he hates the drops...we put a drop of the atropine in his good eye and it dilates that eye...in turn, forcing him to use his bad eye..I know it sound like I am torturing this poor baby...but before we do surgery, he wants that right eye to be as strong as possible.

He is still thinking Logan has ocular albinism..but we wont have a definite diagnosis til he is about 3..He is thinking Logan's vision is 20/400...which is considered legally blind...I am just not quite sure I believe him...He did say this could be one of the reason's for the delay in walking...but Logan certainly has great motor skills..he is the FASTEST crawler.We go back in 8 weeks and hopefully we will get new glasses...this will be his 3rd pair and he is only 15 months old!!!

A few weeks ago I thought about turning the blog "private" however, whenever someone "googles" ocular albinism, our blog pops up...I have gotten about 5-10 email from moms whose child has been diagnosed with this condition and I enjoy telling them about my experience and different ways of keeping glasses on and different eye exercises we use...That same week a mom e-mailed me and I knew that was a sign to not go private...Hope yall all have a great week.

Sneak Peak

Here are just a few pics form the egg hunt at church..over 8,000 eggs and we only get 7 (would have only been 1, but I put a few more in his basket!)....I have lots to blog about(Kindermusik, Easter, family night at the new bar-b-que restaurant our friends are opening up in Athens, and the recent trip to the eye doctor, etc..) and TONS of new pics to share...Hoping to catch up this weekend...For now, enjoy the precious pics!!
