We Joined the Club

 It was just a matter of time before we made that fateful trip to the ER for the inevitable broken bone and that time has come.  Well, not exactly.  There was no ER visit, but there is a broken bone.  Last Sunday night Levi & Naomi were innocently playing at church while we were taking out turning doing the weekly cleaning.  There were having a great time running and chasing each other and then there were tears.  We weren't concerned and she gave us no reason to be.  We kissed her boo boo and she went right back to playing.  When we arrived home we noticed that her hand was a little swollen and she wasn't really wanting to use it to hold her fork to eat.  We checked her fingers, she laughed, so we figured it was just a little bruised from the fall and all would be better in the morning.

Monday comes and I literally think nothing of it.  She complained once or twice, but for most of the day she was her normal, crazy self.  We went to soccer practice and she was running all over the place, falling down, and acting completely normal.  We only got concerned because her hand was still pretty swollen (almost twice the size) so we made plans to go to the doctor the next day.

Tuesday comes and while Tuesday literally requires a post all its own lets just say after much frustration with my pediatrician's office we discover that she will need to be seen by a pediatric orthopedist because her x-rays show a possible stress fracture.  Wednesday we make the trek to Atlanta to see the orthopedist.  It takes no time for them to examine her before they rule that her right hand definitely has a break.  On the bright side she got to pick her cast color and of course she picked purple.  She has to wear it for three weeks and so far we're in one and a half weeks.  It has taken her no time to get used to it and I think she actually likes it.  Thursday night after her bath it actually came off!!!  I know right!  That is not supposed to happen.  I called the doctor and was told to watch it over the weekend and we'd make a decision come Monday.  Today they decided to have us come back in tomorrow for a new cast since her hand was moving more than they'd prefer.  Let's just hope she is this happy after she gets her new one tomorrow.

Because I'm Sure You've Been Wondering

AGG!  I went to go blog and realized I haven't blogged at all this year!!  I know I posted in February, but that was for Nomes' birthday and she really turned 2 at the end of the last year.  My personality really wants me to go back and post every awesome activity we've done so far with pictures of it all, but my lack of time says a short synopsis will have to do.  I know I could just skip everything in the last 4 months, but my personality won't let me do that either.  It seems like since moving back from NC that life has been in fast forward mode and just won't slow down.

So, here are a few things we've been up to since ringing in 2013.
 - Attended the annual Together for Life Walk to end abortion.
 - Stated back at BSF.
 - Started back at the Y.  We missed them and they missed us.
 - Aaron & I went back to NC to attend a wedding for some small group members.
 - I took the kids to the aquarium (maybe I will post a few pictures from here).  We had a great time.
 - My Moo Moo fell and broke both of her legs :(  We've been visiting with her quite a bit.
 - Aaron & I went to the Good Friday Celebration.  It was amazing.
 - We celebrated Easter with lots of good food and egg hunts.
 - The soccer season started in full force.
 - I went to see Mary Poppins at the Fox.
 - We've decided to continue with homeschool for next year and will be doing Classical Conversations.

As you can tell we are super busy with life, but its a beautiful life.
