LUCKY????

NASTY, I know!

This is what happened to my baby about 18 hours before we left for Florida. Karlee and Cannon were both sitting on the table looking at pictures with Steve and I when Karlee placed her arm behind her to lean back and found out their was no more table behind her and she tumbled to the floor. At 8pm on Monday, we rushed Karlee to the hospital. The whole ride to the hospital she sat next to her dad as tough as can be. She didn't cry the entire time! She was so brave. I was more of a wreck then her. I just keep saying "why did this have to happen today?" We knew she broke both her radius and ulna but luckily is was a clean snap and wasn't displaced. By that I mean, the outer layer of the bone was still attached. She first started crying when the doctor gave her a shot for conscious sedation to set her arm back in place. It was really sad watching them reduce her arm but we knew she was in good care. We ended up getting home from the hospital about 1am and I stayed up packing for Florida in hopes that we would still be able to make our flight at 3pm. The next day we woke up bright and early and made a million phone calls trying to find an orthopedic that was willing to see her that day. Finally around 10am we had an appointment and to our surprise they now make waterproof casts. So we gladly paid the extra money to get a PINK waterproof cast. We were so grateful to the doctor who understood our situation and got her in immediately. In the end, we got Karlee put back together and made our flight out of Detroit. Now we are just playing in the rain having a great time in Disney World.

1st soccer game

Cannon started playing soccer this month. Yesterday was his first game. He was really nervous about it at first, but once he started playing he realized how fun it was.

Cannon had a great time and was excited about kicking in two goals for the team. It was really fun watching the kids play. Some of the kids on the team kicked a goal for the other team. It was pretty funny because they were happy to have kicked the ball. It didn't matter to them what direction it went!

do opposites really attract?

I saw this on a friends blog and thought it would be fun to do.
