Where to start?

Morgan had a little accident on Thursday. It was my fault. I did something every mother does and knows she shouldn't do. You know, they're just starting to be mobile and you sit them somewhere and think to yourself "I probably shouldn't do that, but it'll be OK just for a minute". Not this time. Morgan went for a tumble onto our tile floor. After a small hysterical meltdown from me, a frantic trip to the doctors office and an immediate trip to Cook Childrens Hospital for a CT scan - he's fine. I can't even find evidence of a bruise or anything. *deep breath* and lesson learned.


Nothing really new with Grace. She's adapting to life without Tanner, but she's always looking for someone to play with. She asks to go to playgroup, to the park, to someone's house, etc. One day we'll get out a little more. Morgan just needs to grow a touch and we need to meet some people. Soon.


Tanner can count to 100! Without any prompting or reminding of certain numbers. He's so proud of himself. We count to 100 at least twice on the way to school every morning and several other times later in the day. When he gets to 100 he always asks for a high-five and then comes the question "what numbers come after 100 mom?"


And, for the house. We've got insulation in the walls - yeah! And as you can see in the picture the sheetrock is waiting to be put on. They should be there today to do that - woohoo! CJ started running the siding in the gables yesterday I'll have pics of that later in the week when there's a little more done.




oh, oh, oh - I almost forgot...... I made this cutie cupcake cake for my niece this weekend. Had her party at Build-A-Bear and we thought cupcakes would be easier to serve at the mall. She's 4! I can't believe it! Happy Birthday Lily!






And, last but not least, I got a new toy!




A PINK Dyson - rock on! Target had a deal last week, when you buy one you get a $100 Target gift card and when you buy the PINK one they give $40 to Breast Cancer Research. I know if I really wanted to give to breast cancer research I could have just sent them the $400 but I really needed the sweeper too :-)

That's all for now!

Glad to hear Morgan's doing ok. Is Grace asking when she'll get to go to school? The one left at home usually starts asking as soon as school starts. Love the cupcake cake! It's too cute. Can't wait to see more pics of the house. Love watching houses being built. I am soooo jealous of the Dyson. I want one!! You lucky girl.

Your kids are survivors! And you're tops too! Love the pink vacum, I can't believe you really bought it! Does Jeanne know yet? She'll be wanting one too. :)

I want a new Dyson Animal!! But they are soooo expensive. Maybe one for Christmas? You are spoiled Girlfriend.

Glad Morgan is a tough little dude and you are a tough little Mama.
