Grammy's Visit ~ July 3-17, 2011

Scott's Mom ~ "Grammy" came for a 2 week visit about a month ago - not sure if she knew what she was getting into, but definitely had a lot of bonding time with the girls -actually, all of us. A 2 week glimpse into the life of the AZ Roses. It sure was hot, and humid, but all of that aside, it was great to spend time with her. She experienced the day to day routines of our crazy work schedules, the idiosyncracies of all 4 of us, and even witnessed some temper tantrums. Lucky Grammy!



Mmmmmm...Corn on the Cob!

July 2011
Here are some pics and also video of the girls swimming...thank goodness they love the water! Norah has gotten to be a great swimmer this summer - between swimming lessons and spending almost every day at the pool, she has gotten a lot of practice!!

Norah's new glasses ~ June 27, 2011

We have been going to the pediatric opthamologist regularly to follow up with Norah's cataract. It is still there, and when we visited back at the beginning of this month, he noticed a slight increase in the size of the cataract, and her vision got a little worse. (Now it was 20/40 in her left eye instead of 20/30.) So he prescribed glasses for her, thinking that one of the reasons her vision was getting worse was because the cataract was blocking some of the messages/brain signals for her vision. And since that is still somewhat developing, he was concerned that once it was lost, it might not come back. SO ~ glasses it is - which is fine, she looks pretty cite in them, actually a little older. She is a little self conscious, but she'll adjust! She actually thought they were pretty cool - the DR recommended the transition lenses, because those with cataracts have a more sensitive time with the sun.
