... and we have smiles!!!

Just wanted to share pics o Logan smiling. Love to all....

1 little boy + 1 trampoline = 2 broken arms

So the story goes like this...

Against my "Mommy instincts" I allowed the boys to play on a neighbors trampoline even though it didn't have a safety net. On Tuesday, Conor was playing with some neighborhood kids on the trampoline and while jumping flew off the side. He landed first with his hands then on his face... when he tried to wipe the grass from his face and mouth he realized he couldn't. When I opened the door and saw how pale his face was I knew instantly there was a problem. His arms were limp and he said he thought they were broke... I had pretty much already figured that one out. We were at the hospital and checked in within the half hour. The staff at the hospital was fantastic and took him in very quickly even though there was a full waiting room. Within 3 hours we were back home with two soft casts and some good pain meds. The meds worked well because as we were leaving the hospital he begged me to take him to his baseball bbq because he wanted his trophy!! :) Unfortunately, the bbq was over at that point so I bought him out with pizza.

Today, he went to the orthopedics. The doctor said he had to compression fractures in the radius. Conor has been casted on both arms and will stay in the cast for 4 weeks. In four weeks they will remove the casts, take more x-rays and decide if he is okay to leave the casts off. Hopefully, he can learn to do more with his casts on... only time will tell!!

Growing and changing

We have made it past the one month mark. How easily we forget the challenges of having a newborn. I guess if we didn't forget no one would ever have another. All in all we are doing quite well. There are days I feel like I could lose my mind and days I can't understand what all the fuss is about. Logan is growing faster than we can keep up. On June 29th he weighed 10lbs 6oz, he gained 3lbs in 3 weeks. Pretty impressive if you ask me. He is still packing it on... just like both his brothers did. I've noticed he has started to develop those wonderful arm rolls and he has also obtained a second chin!! He has started to coo and makes little noises which is so adorable... Kaleb and Conor find it quite funny. We have gotten little smiles out of him here and there and are working on getting more. I think his big brothers are looking forward to when he's a little bigger and more interesting. Both Kaleb and Conor are super big brothers and they love to lay on the bed and watch TV with him. (Until he spits up of course... then they are yelling for me!) I love to watch them when they are interacting with him... it just may be the best part. Conor is now finished with baseball and Kaleb has two more games. It's definitely been a "Bad News Bears" type of season! School starts in about a month and Kaleb will start football soon. He is very excited to be playing tackle football this year... as for me not so much!!!
