Appointments and Such

With the commencement of the school year, we have been spending lots of time getting doctors appointments out of the way. 

A few weeks ago I took Silas and Blaise for well-child checks. Both are doing excellent. 

We had not been to the pediatrician since we moved here. After many conversations and calls and a couple switches, we finally landed with one. I feel like a good pediatrician is so important and had quite a time deciding! I was so pleased with our experience and love the kids' new doctor. 

She was sweet to let Silas "help". 

Then the next week I took Simeon and Lieren. I totally forgot to get a picture of them in their gowns but remembered on our way home. 

Lieren is still much closer to Blaise in height and weight than she is to Simeon. So hard to believe they are twins if you just see them out and about. 

They had to have a shot to get all caught up. It took us off guard since we weren't planning on it but they were brave and chose to go ahead and get it over with!

Big smiles once it was all done!

And all four visited the dentist. We also love our dentist so they kids look forward to going and often ask when our next appointment is. 

Yesterday we spent the whole afternoon with the dogs and the vet. Luther and Augustine needed their yearly visits and shots. We took Auggie first then drove home, switched dogs and brought Lu. 

We waited longer with Luther so books and pictures passed the time. 

I attempted to get a pic with Lu but he wasn't having it. He must have known the vet was about to come in. 

Whew! We were all exhausted when that was over. 

And finally today, Silas had to have a molar pulled. It wasn't growing in right so it had to come out. 

Silas was extremely good and calm about the whole thing. I was so proud. 

He is home now and watching a video. He says his mouth hurts some but he isn't complaining. What a great kid! I have pudding and jello and ice cream all stocked up for him tonight. He might be looking forward to that. Ha!
