Health Checks


Part of the adoption paperwork includes physicals for all family members. Today big sisters, Riley & Ellie had their physicals. Ellie was very concerned that she would receive a "pinchy" (immunization) but was willing to endure the pain just for the chance to be a big sister. As it turned out, Ellie is current. Riley, on the other hand, needed one booster. Girls are healthy and growing off the charts. We left the pediatrician's office with smiling faces, lots of stickers and 4 forms signed, notarized and dated. With all of the gown twirling, good thing they gave us the big room. Next physical appointment...DADDY!!!
