caroline is obsessed with "doctoring". there is a little girl at church who doctored her one night in the nursery during our small group and she is now hooked. there is no money in the budget for a new doctor's kit so i dropped by the local children's consignment shop and found a sesame street one for $2. after a good disinfecting bath, it was ready to go. caroline wants to doctor us or have us doctor her constantly. seriously, it's getting old. at night, before bed, she'll say "1 more time" one million times before we finally put a stop to it. above are a few pixs of caroline doctoring daddy. he was a very good patient :)

on a different note, caroline had her final uti test this morning at the hospital. all things considered, she did really well. they laid her on the big table with the xray machine over her and she didn't even whimper. even when they cathed her to empty her bladder and fill her bladder back up with dye, she only shed a few tears. however, when it was time to pee the dye out, she wasn't having it. she just kept saying "i don't want to". she's gotten so used to holding her pee in b/c of the pain. anyway, after what seemed like an eternity and lots of bribes from me (lollipops, stickers, ice cream, etc..) she finally went. praise the Lord, the test showed no reflux at all. i'm so thankful. we go tomorrow to the ped urologist for our follow up so i'm sure he'll explain to me some of the reasons why she's been getting these. we'll keep you posted, but for now, we give God all the praise and glory for healing her body. and, we'll be heading out tonight with daddy to get ice cream :)

**also above are a few more pixs of our trip to marietta...i particularly like the one of caroline laying on her papa as he slept. that's what 3 grandkids 4 and under will do to a guy!!
