What's going on....

A lot going on, haven't blogged. So sorry.
Hana just finished her first FCAT week and said it was "SOOOO easy". Hooray!
Maddison is almost 8 which means baptism which means...where did these past 8 years go?
Chloe finally stopped sucking her thumb!
Reid....well...is Reid. I could fill a whole page on him. But for now, lets just say we are dealing with that darn intestinal infection again that has doctors scratching their heads and telling me they have never seen such a resistant infection before. Oh, and he broke his face. (see post below)
Bryan continues to work like I have seen no man work before, all so that I can stay home with our children. He is such a blessing.
And me....I start school in a little over 2 weeks!!!!!

Humpty Dumpty

I guess Reid was thinking life wasn't exciting enough for us and not enough attention was on him. First, let me explain that he is a BOY. All boy. Never did any of the girls EVER try anything tricky in the least bit. But, he has been climbing things before he could walk. So, we always keep an eye on him, or try to. He was in the playroom with the girls the other night while I was cleaning up from dinner when I heard a crash...and then screams. I quickly went to see what happened. All that we know was it involved the high windowsill in the back room, a chair, and a kids tool/work bench. Thats all. I thought he just hurt his hand, so we sat on the couch and cuddled for a while. No crying, just telling me it hurts. About 5 minutes went by when I looked and saw his face. A huge line across his eye that was swelling quickly. We watched him, he didn't sleep at all (can you imagine having your face hurt and throb all night?) but the morning came and although it was swollen almost shut, he seemed fine. I called the doctor and they told me to bring him in. While there, the pediatrician said get him to the ER immediately. If there is a fracture, we can not waste time. So, off we went for a CT scan and observation for about 5 hours. The results were a severe bruise on his bone and a tiny litte size of a peice of sand fracture. No bones out of place, no fragments, no pressure or bleeding. So, we were able to go home with just a black eye. He is fine...normal...running around like nothing happened. Sad thing is, I'm starting to get used to this....

       Shortly after it happened...(Bryan had the camera, so my phone pics didn't show that much)

                                       Last night in the ER...he was so ready to go home....
This morning...swelling gone down but some cool colors going on!

Spring

Lots happening in spring here. I'll let the pictures do the talking. But, I will add, my one and only sister came to visit us and we could not have been more excited. Its been way over a year, I think Reid was only 6 months old when we saw each other last. So sad. I miss her dearly and the time spent was way too short, but enjoyed every minute...
