Not Yet!

Any bets on how soon she'll be crawling?

I'm afraid it might be soon. She gets her front up and scoots backwards or her back up and pulls with her arms.

I'm not ready.

It's Off!

Kaylee had a doctor visit Monday. It's been a month since she broke her arm. Due to range of motion concerns the Doc said she didn't need to wear the splint anymore. She kind of freaked out and started crying. I think she liked the security. Now she has to relearn to use her arm. The whole first day she wore her sweatshirt and kept her hand in her pocket. She was afraid to use it. She also has to do exercises to increase range of motion in her arm. If she doesn't get back to full ROM in 3 weeks she will need physical therapy.

It's Fall!

Anna

Anna's "first" taste of solid food. "First" because I recently found out that Wes let her suck on beef jerky and tootsie rolls plus Grandpa Rogers gave her marshmallow. Hmm, healthy choices.

Apparently she only likes junk food.

Kaylee likes to do her daily reading with Anna. Anna likes it too!

Soccer

Kaylee and Kara both did soccer this fall. That means we had soccer games every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday through Septenber and the first week of October. At least that was the schedule. Kaylee's season was cut short because of her broken arm- which is why I don't have any pictures of her playing. Her team did really well though, they won 8, tied 1 and lost 0. Kara's age is "instructional", meaning they don't keep score.

Here are some fun pics of Kara.

Andrew: Mom do we have any strawberries?
Me: No
Andrew: Can we go get some?
Me: Not now, Anna's sleeping.
Andrew: You go shopping, I'll stay with Anna.

My Side Of The Story

Kaylee put her story on her blog. Here is my version.
About three weeks ago Steve brought home a trampoline. I think the first word out of my mouth were " I don't WANT a trampoline. Someone's going to fall off and break their arm!"
So Sunday after chirch the kids went outside to play. Wes left to go to a meeting. Next thing I know Kaylee's laying on the ground in the weeds crying. I go out to see what's wrong and she says " I think I broke my arm". I brought her in the house and tried calming her down without success. Wes gets home and takes her to her room to try to calm her down. Nothing- still crying and saying her arm is broken. So I took her to the instacare where the doctor took one look at her swollen elbow and sent us to the ER saying that if the brake is above the elbow an orthopedic surgeon would need to look at it. So we head to the PACKED ER to wait and wait and wait. We ended up sitting on a bench outside to wait because neither of us could deal with all the sick people in the waiting room. They brought us in to have her x-rayed and I could see that her arm was broken. They didn't have a room for us though so we went back outside. Wes's neice Melanie and her son Daxton were there too and after a while Wes's sister Janet and her husband Ray showed up too. (Thanks Ray for keeping us company while we waited.) Finally we got to see a doctor who said her arm was broken. An ER tech came in and put a splint on and they sent us home with instructions to call an orthopedic surgeon to get it casted. So now we wait until Thursday to get a cast. Meanwhile, she had to miss her class feild trip today. Oh well, I guess life happens.
