update

so, here's an update. DH is recovering nicely. His leg looks really good now compared to 4 weeks ago. The bruising has gone down, and the scars are getting lighter. Just a couple of scabs left... He is walking with crutches and has a walking boot on. He is allowed to put 50% of his weight on the hurt leg, and in 2 weeks he will not have to use the crutches anymore. He is getting bored--and anyone who knows him knows that this is not hard to do for him... :) You can see he has a rod in the tibia and a plate on the fibula. and screws in both. :)

{k} is also doing well. I weighed him last week and he weighed 13lbs. He is 6 weeks old and is starting to smile at us. He is such a good baby. He eats well (obviously since he has gained 4 lbs already) and sleeps well too. I just wish I could solidify a daytime routine--so far as start time goes... That will be the next goal for us.

{A} has done very well in swim lessons and is making nice progress on the front crawl, back crawl and is now learning the breast stroke. I think he is ready for school to start back up-- or atleast I am ready... :)

{K} is getting excited for kindergarten. He turned 5 last week and got just what he asked for. Thomas the Train items! James and Thomas. He gets to go shopping with g&g {H} this weekend and told me that he wants to buy his very own track. (Even though {A} had some, he wants his own...)

{a} is BUSY! She is one I need to watch all the time. She tends to get into things that she shouldn't. Especially the kitchen cupboards looking for something to eat. We are taking her into an ENT next week. I think she needs her tonsils taken out. She has not been sleeping well, is tired all the time, and snores at night. Sounds to me like they need to come out! Also, her brothers had theirs taken out at 2 1/2 and she is now 2 1/2.

Sounds like a good time to add one more thing to my plate, don't you think? :)

We found her like this at 7pm last night. Guess she was tired... :)

That's an update on us...

so. two days ago, {a} jammed her toothbrush into the back of her mouth. yesterday, I decided that for $20 I could have peace of mind that she hadn't really done any damage. I took her in. a "carpet burn" is all she has. she will heal in 3-4 days, and it will be similar to when the boys had their tonsils out. cranky, whiny, snuggly. you know the drill. so. she DID NOT sleep well last night. or the night before for that matter, but last night DH was home from his business trip so I all of a sudden notice how many times she ACTUALLY gets up when he is in the same bed as me. so. because of all that I did not shower this morning. {k} is super hyper for some reason which makes {a} even more cranky--she so does not like to be teased when she's cranky. but then again, who does?? so. no shower, cranky baby, hyper 4 year old. what's a girl to do? oh! I also have 8 boxes of peached that I am dying to get canned and they are NOT ripening fast enough!

DH is heading out for another scout overnighter after work today, which pretty much equals out to one cranky husband tomorrow evening when he returns. Let's hope she sleeps better tonight. It's going to be a very long evening tomorrow if we are both tired and cranky. Please, please let her sleep better tonight!

I think I will find a good book and snuggle with my baby for a while.
