Have you...

ever heard of toxic synovitis? It's what Jake has, except it's not with his hip but his right foot. The kid cannot walk--he tries but limps badly & cries from the pain. Poor guy! What's going on with my kids right now?!

Isabel update...

2009 Soccer Pictures

Before the game all calm & relaxed...

during the game, quite the opposite.
Isabel has scored goals every game so far.

So the actual latest news on Isabel is that she may have fractured her left radius. The quick care took x-rays and told us they think that it's broken but they had to refer us to be sure. We see the orthopedic tomorrow. I would have taken her today but there was no way she was missing the 2nd grade school Spider & Bat Fair. It was AWESOME! I sadly forgot my camera, but luckily my friend took a picture for me. It was so cute to see all the kids proudly showing of their creative dioramas. Afterwards we came home & being that it was our first cold day of the year, we had hot chocolate. Too bad I was out of the most important ingredient: FLUFF. Wish us luck at the doctor tomorrow. I'm still hoping that it's not actually broken. She has her fall piano recital in three weeks and it would also be sad for her to miss the rest of the soccer season.

Alright so I turned around after snapping a photo of Isabel and he was in my face just like this...."Take a picture of me Mommy!" All day he tells me, "Mommy, you're my best friend". Then Daddy comes home and he tells him the same thing.
We hug & kiss all day except for the hour or so that he "goes Gremlin". Then we're literally at each other's necks. Wish I could say that only happened around Halloween.

I know, more gratuitous photos. That's all my blog is. At least I only annoy you with them once every few months. This just cracked me up too much when he came home from preschool with a hat & badge. Lucky guy had a firefighter visit the school so Jake went on and on demonstrating the stop, drop & roll rule but kept telling me, "Mom, fire and RUN out!!"

Okay so I feel guilty if I only post pics of Jake so that means I'll post of Isabel soon too.
