The girls' checkups

The girls had their annual checkups with our family doctor today. No concerns. They were all well behaved for the appointment and Sophia was considerably less shy than she has been in the past. She actually smiled and spoke to the doctor without burying her face into me!

Their weights and heights were:

  • Sophia - 30.5 kg (67 lbs) and 130.4 cm (51.3")
  • Madeline - 19.1 kg (42 lbs) and 111 cm (43.7")
  • Georgia - 15 kg (33 lbs) and 95.8 cm (37.7")

I wanted to see their growth since last year, but apparently I didn't record their stats in 2008 -- except Georgia's from her annual heart checkup. Georgia has grown five pounds and four inches in the past year.

Today I'm thankful for:

  • online banking
  • four-day work weeks
  • universal health care (not merely because my kids can have an annual checkup, but because everyone in Canada -- such as Neil's cousin who is currently in critical condition after an ATV accident -- can receive the best possible care without suffering financially on top of the tragedy)

This is the meaning of success. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
