I haven't posted anything in a while. Its been busy around here and I've had a touch of summer laziness! We're done with school, homework and running around. I had two blissful weeks of sleeping in and pajama days! Now we're babysitting for a neighbor and I'm getting up earlier than I did when the kids were in school. Seems a bit backwards!

We've had an interesting summer so far. Andrew broke both bones in his arm near his wrist in May. He had it reduced the day he did it and things looked fine when a hard cast was put on. All his horsing around caused the bone to shift and the doctor wanted to do another reduction and put a pin in to help keep it in place. Andrew ended up having an open reduction, 6 stitches and 2 pins. The stitches will dissolve into his skin and the pins will be pulled out in the office when they are ready. He's on his second hard cast and doing fine. I'm amazed at how well he's adapted and is coping with it. His doctor would probably give us an earful if he saw Andrew zipping around on his bike like nothing happened!

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of months.

Katie all dressed up for Mother's Day Tea at preschool. We had a lovely time!


Julia got into some chapstick! She loves to put on her "whips" (lips).


Andrew at his preschool graduation.


Julia with a lovely smile!


Katie trying on a funky wig and giving her "pretty girl" pose!


Andrew showing me his new bright orange cast. The old one was blue and the next one will be yellow.


Tommy helping to keep the flowers alive. They have to be watered everyday or they look very sad. He jumps at the chance to play in the water.
