A busy week

This is the week of appointments for us. Today was Rose E's well baby check-up, it went well but the poor girl had to have some shots(that's always so heartbreaking to watch). She now weighs 24 pounds. I have noticed lately that her legs have gotten longer and slimmed down a little (now that she's on the go all the time) and that showed in her percentiles because her weight was surprisingly only in the 45Th percentile this time and her height in the 65 Th. Tomorrow Walter has another dentist appointment (this time to clean his teeth) and then on Thursday Jeff goes to Marquette for a doctor appointment, ugh, we will be happy when that is over with and we have some answers. Hopefully he gets good news.
The kids have been busy as usual the past couple of days. Yesterday after church we went out to the camp. It was such a hot day but nice out there with the breeze, I tried to take Rose E in for her first dip in Lake Superior but it was still too cold for her liking. So they set-up a little kiddie pool and Walter played inside it while the two of them drove boats around. I had to laugh when we left the camp though because since it was so hot we had the air conditioner on high in the van and Walter said "turn down the wind." He's(well I should say they're) always making us smile! Today he was running laps with Rose E from our kitchen to dinning room and he said "I am Jeff Gordon (a race car driver) and Rose E is heart" (I thought hm heart then I said "Dale Earnhardt Junior" and he said "yes").
It was cute today too because Jeff's parents watched Walter while I took Rose E to her appointment, anyway, Jeff's mom met us outside when I dropped him off and when I got in the van Rose E looked at Walter's spot and said "done!" Tonight Jeff and I got a kick out of her too during our walk because anytime she saw a playground she said "down" (I want to get down and out to play). She is just understanding so much! Then tonight I put her pajamas on and I was playing a game with her socks, I said where does this go and then I would put it in a goofy place like her ear, she would giggle, and then take a turn at putting it somewhere goofy on my like my stomach, while giggling, then finally I said it goes on your foot, where is your foot and she lifted it up for me to put it on.
