The big news in the Mallory house is that Moriah had her eye surgery at Children's Mercy yesterday morning, and it was a success! She had quite a bit of pain yesterday and really wanted to rub her eyes, but we spoiled her with Sprite, pudding and our undivided attention. I think we were more nervous than Mo-Mo was about getting her eyes fixed... she was so brave riding on the cart into the surgery room by herself. Stevie & I both wanted to bawl. Anyway her eyes are really bloodshot but STRAIGHT as you will see in the pics and we are so thankful. Pray that the healing would be complete and that pain would continue to go down... she says it still hurts to close her eyes. (Thanks Mamo for the new Cabbage Patch doll... I still remember what mine looked like! She will love it forever!)
We had a great vacation in Branson a couple of weeks ago with my family. Stayed in a beautiful condo for 4 days and travelled the town with 7 kids in tow... fish hatchery, Dixie Stampede, Yakov's Circus, Dinosaur Museum, pontoon boating and pool time too! The Mallorys met the Hursts on our last day of vacation to share some boat time with them. I was surprised at how brave the kids were swimming around in the lake; I still get nervous when I can't see my feet!!!
It's been a fun month overall... I'll post some pics from the 4th of July at Carol's house in Holden (yes I'm aware I'm working backwards!) It's been great to spend more time with the kids and at the pool... they are all like FISH and especially after swim lessons! Overall I am ready to get back in the swing of things with school though. We put the boys to bed earlier tonight telling them... we'll have to get up earlier in a few weeks when school starts. Aaron Isaac asks... "what do you mean? what kind of school" WOW... it must have been a fantastic summer! :)
