Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4


Pink Glasses

Bella went to the eye doctor Tuesday and we found out she has amblyopia. Basically her left eye is full of astigmatism and her eyesight has always been really blurry. Because of this, her brain stopped using her left eye and relied mainly on the right eye to see. She is now wearing glasses, which she loves, because they are pink. Hoping this will help correct the vision in her eye and make her start using that eye again. Here's a picture of Princess Peepers!

Lincoln Flag Relay

Bella was featured on the front page of the Coshocton Tribune on September 10, 2011 for taking part in the flag relay at Lincoln Elementary.

School Year 2011-2012

Well this year Bella is in 2nd grade at Lincoln. She has Mrs. Croft and really likes her. Carter is a big boy and has started preschool at Early Advantage Preschool. He goes two hours every day. He wasn't sure he wanted to go by himself but now he loves it and spends most of his morning asking "Is it almost time for school?"
