Emergency Room...Again...No, I'm NOT Kidding

You had better believe neither of us was smiling like this picture 24 hours ago! We had yet another trip to the ER last night, this time for a fall off of the swing on the brand new, not even fully put together play set in the backyard. After a not near as bad or long trip to the ER (thanks to a phone call ahead from our friend Richard who is a doc here) and a trip to a great ortho gal' (although how I wished last night that we lived in the same city as Uncle Michael) today we have another battle scar and I have another notch in my mommy belt. It is not that bad, and he only has to wear the cast for a few weeks. However, please pray for us that we will not have any other mishaps for a while, because, quite frankly, Mommy cried all the way there and had a meltdown on the phone with my mom on the way there! We do not want to be on a first name basis with the ER staff here! Beau is doing fine - still favoring his boo-boo a lot, but starting to show off his "cash" (cast). He is staying on motrin and tylenol around the clock, and seems to be doing ok. He will probably be whacking people with that thing in a matter of days. The ortho doctor said he is just a little ortho doc in the making. We'll see... His little cast is glow in the dark, which Abby calls his "glows in the night" cast. Oh, and today is mine and Toby's 7th wedding anniversary! What a way to celebrate, huh?
Elmo and Big Bird at Sesame Street Live last week. Beau and Abby both love Sesame Street. I wasn't sure how Beau would do for a 2 hour production, but he danced through the whole thing. Abby took a more serious approach, trying to really pay attention to the story, of course.
Beau's cotton candy goatee.

Happy kids=happy mommy!

Beau and his latest obsession-the fishing game. They played it until the batteries ran out over the last week or so.
The next time I blog I am hoping it will be about the great time I had with Emily who is coming down this weekend to see us!! I am SO excited!!

Crap-my message was so long it just deleted-well, hope Beau's feeling better-he's just so darn cute with that cast, Abby being serious about SSL totally cracks me up-love that girl! Frances is obsessed with talking about Abby-when I turn 4 like Abby I can...well she thinks pretty much anything-I'll deal with that when the time comes-leave 4 DW in morn-I'll call you when we get back-glad you and Em had a fun weekend!
