Get the chubby out!

A couple days ago I was getting ready to work out on our treadmill. Sammi asked me what I was getting ready to do and I told her. She said to me "You are going on the treadmill so you can get the chubby out," as she patted my tummy. Wow, that is one way to tell it like it is! As most of you know Sammi is a precocious, beautiful, full of life girl. This at times is trying for Nate and I but in truth, Sammi brings so much spunk and sass into our lives. She cares about others and lives everyday to the max. Life would be a little less without our Samantha Grace!

Well, as if 2 surgeries before the age of 18 months is not enough...Wrider has a broken leg!
He fell off my bed on Monday morning and I knew he was not ok, but there was not any specific injury manifesting itself. We went to the Dr. who poked and prodded and Wrider did not seem to mind. The Dr. said if anything still bothers him in a couple of days come back. Well the next morning I was changing his diaper and when I grabbed his ankles to lift him he really let out a cry and for the rest of the day he favored his left lower leg. Nate really did not think it was broken, but if I really did I should take him to the Dr. So this morning I took him across the street to our neighbor and friend who is a podiatrist. He examined his leg and when he got to the lower inside of his leg he started to cry. So off to get an x-ray and wouldn't you know it...broken. Dr. Smith (our neighbor and friend) casted it at his office this afternoon and apparently they only had 2 inch pink casting tape....not sure if that is true or if he was just trying to get Nate's goat!
So on to the newest adventure with our little Wrider.
