We are making configuration changes to the website over the next couple of weeks. If something doesn't work, or images don't appear, we are working on it. Thanks for being patient!
Last night we were shopping and Anna was doing what she does best, climbing. Well, she misbalanced and fell head first onto the stores marble floors. She instantly had a "bump" that was, kid you not, the size of a golf ball.
While driving home to pack Jack's overnight bag (we assumed that Ben & Amy would take him) we spoke with her doctor who confirmed that since she had been dazed for at least 20 mins we should take her to the er, which was our final destination. For the record she never lost consciousness because we wouldn’t let her, we kept talking to her and trying to interact with her. While dropping Jack off she came out of her daze long enough to partially smile at Connor.
When we got to the er (about 45 mins after her fall) she started to talk a little bit and walking didn't go well. The only imaging the doctor saw possibly necessary was a ct scan but he didn't want to expose her to the radiation unless it was absolutely necessary. After 30 mins of observation he decided the exposure wasn't necessary and let us go home.
After picking up Jack and getting over the counter meds, pictures were taken. The picture of her was taken at 10:30 pm, the fall occurred around 7:45 pm. Happy to report that she is doing better today and the swelling has gone down but the coloring is starting to come thru.
Oh and the moral of the story, if you need to be woken every 2-3 hours to make sure you are okay, Damion & I may not be the best people to do that.
The picture of Jack is shown because I figured out how to put pictures in mostly by myself with quick assistance from Damion. This was taken the other day while Jack was rolling around in the office. In fact right now he's on the floor pulling the cable around with him even though I put him there with toys.
Jess occasionally sends me photos of the kids during the day. Usually attached is how they ended up that way... in this case, Jess had stepped into the office for a moment, and came back to find Jack wrapped up in a blanket with Anna's popper! He was three feet away from it all. So, he's mobile. He also seems to really like Anna's toys. As long as she says it's okay...
First off, pictures have been successfully added for viewing. I know its not many but hey, it's something, right?
Anna is a busy talkative little girl. She is all about saying "mommy". She doesn't care who you are, she'll call you mommy. I believe that she is teething again and it appears that in typical Anna fashion its more than one. Anna is also into giving actual hugs. If you are standing up and she gets the urge to hug you, watch your knee caps because she'll get you. It is so sweet to get a hug back from her. She has also become a huge advocate for her brother and the dog. As soon as Jack starts to cry she'll let you know, even though you can hear him yourself. Of course, she also likes sitting beside and on him.
