This Week.

A few days ago, a little kid jumped off the play mats at my work and landed on Elli's arm. She cried for a long while which is unusual for her and then has been real careful not to use that arm since. We thought, great its broken. So the next day we took her in to get it checked out. After some X rays, we were a bit shocked to learn she had actually broken it 2-3 weeks ago, but no new fractures. Dr says its healing great on its own and shouldn't need a cast. She said she's probably hurting more from the deep tissue bruising. Give her Tylenol.

I felt terrible, but she showed absolutely no signs that she was hurt. Apparently she has a very high pain tolerance. But now she won't use her arm and I can tell it hurts her. So if it doesn't get better soon, we'll have to take her back in. Still so sweet and happy.



Today we spent the day with our good friends. Amy and Mark have two little ones the same age as ours. Saydee calls Josh her prince. They are all so cute together, even despite the occasional crankiness. No naps, lots of drama. And today Saydee learned to ride Josh's bike.

Also this week I got an email from Saydee's sunday school teacher who shared with me this story...
Last week I was teaching the kids about family trees, and the manual said to teach them about how they're related to their aunts and uncles. I thought it was going decently enough until Saydee interjected with, "Oh I already know about that. We have lots of ants on the trees at our house!"

Oh little Saydee, we love you!

And a big Congrats to the Briel Family. Tyson has a new baby sister!
