Please say a little prayer for Lyddie. She has had a knot in her neck from the time she was a couple of weeks old. They always check it when we are at the doctor and they always say that it's fine. A couple of weeks ago a new one popped up right next to it and they seemed bigger. We took her to the doctor for something else and when she checked the knot, she said that its bigger than the ones they typically see. She wasn't overly concerned but referred us to an ENT just to be safe. He checked her and thought they seemed big and had us bring her back a couple of weeks later to recheck it (she had a little infection and that would make her lymph nodes swollen). I took her in yesterday and he felt like one was bigger and the other was at least the same size. He sent us over to have blood drawn, a chest x-ray, and a TB test. He said that he feels like the chance of it being serious is small, but he wants to check it out. I'm sure she is fine but we would REALLY appreciate some extra prayers. She did really well yesterday. I was pretty shocked at how well she did :). She didnt cry when they drew blood from the first arm but they had to stick her again because they couldnt' get enough. She cried pretty hard with the second stick. She got over it really quick and picked out toys from the treasure chest. She went right over and got her chest xray. She stood up on the stool and smiled. When we went for the TB test she watched the lady stick her and the bubble form under the skin. She said that it was cute :). She didn't cry through that either. That's my Lyddie!! Now if I could get her (oldest) brother to do that well :). Haha.
You can kind of see the knot on her neck in this picture. Under her ear and towards the back a little.
This was after they drew her blood. She loved the pink "bandaids" on her arms. She wouldn't let me take them off for a long time :). The quality is horrible because its on my phone.
Not to be outdone, Lydia got out there and helped us pick the stones for the firepit.
The boys picked up rocks and hauled stone. 
I never got an after picture. I'll get one when we finish the rest of the back yard.
Lydia was enjoying a little snack after her nap. She loved being outside. She chased Coconut all over. She would say, "Why Coconut not come to me?" 
Here's a picture of Harrison from Thursday. They had mismatch day at school. He loves to dress up!
After they finished playing I did make them pose for this one. 
They've been swimming in this freezing pool! People say, "So you already opened it?!" I have to tell them that it was NEVER closed :(. There's a more recent pic at the end...
We had so much fun playing at the park with Carter and Shell. She's been doing a long term sub job so I've really missed seeing them (and calling her randomly :)).
They look like they're planning something!
Lydia likes to play on the big top step of the pool. She had a BALL with the waterhose!
I took this picture right before I put them in the trash! She's been "clean" for several weeks but I hadn't thrown them away. I'm proud of you Lyddie!!!
Learning some moves...
My mom went with us. Afterwards, we went and got mani/pedis for my birthday!! Lydia had her nails painted. 
I love this one with all three of my boys!
Who DOESN'T wear heels to the soccer field :)?! I forgot to grab her shoes and these were in the car. I asked her if she wanted to take them off and walk barefoot and she did NOT. Maybe she'll do better in heels than I do.
Lydia and my niece, Courtney. Lydia has been calling her Tippy for a long time. It's the funniest thing. I'm so sad that L's started using her real name :(. Carrie and I fought it at first but it was no use :).
