Reece's toes

Last Friday we went to Shriner's hospital in Spokane to get Reece's toes checked out. If you look in his 3 year old picture you can see that his big toe curls under his other toes (on both feet). Our family doctor sent us to Shriner's because it could be a number of things causing it. Luckily for us he doesn't need surgery nor does he need any kind of cast to fix it. He has a bunion (you can check out this website for more info on what a bunion is http://www.footphysicians.com/footankleinfo/bunions.htm#1) and they can't do anything about it until he has fully matured. If they were to fix it right now, it would come back in a couple years. So for now we check that worry off our list and move on. It doesn't cause him any pain so there is no need to stress about it. If anything, it gives his feet a little more personality!
Here are some pictures from our trip:
As we were feeding the ducks these terribly rude geese started nippin' at us. Instead of us chasing the birds, they chased us and we flew away FAST!!!

I gave Reece a dollar bill before we went to Shriner's and told him if he did everything the doctor asked him to do then he could have the dollar bill to buy a treat. It worked like a charm! We found a snow cone shack that had sugar-free snow cones!! He was so nice and shared it with his little bro benson!

We were so lucky to have Lainy and Traci come with us! We love them TONS! The kids got along great in the car and got me out of a speeding ticket!
