So if you know us IRL, you probably already know that our nephew "A" fractured his femur a week ago yesterday, you might know we were finally successful in car shopping, and perhaps you knew yesterday was Decoration @ our church. Whew.
"A" was just playing in the nursery, pushing a truck along the floor, and fell over and landed with his leg twisted underneath him. Little dude is in a body cast, from just below his chest, down to his ankle on the right leg, and just above his knee on his left leg. His sister "E" spent the night with us last Sunday night, and we spent a few evenings at their house, playing and entertaining for a while. "A" is doing quite well most of the time, and "E" is excited that Aunt Nessa and Uncle J get to play more than usual! ;) Mom and Dad are a little exhausted from holding and caring for a toddler stuck in the semi-upright position! ;)
We ended up getting an '09 H.onda C.ivic, because the price difference between that and an '06 we looked at was only a couple thousand. It's a good Kid Hauler, and the plan is drive it until the wheels fall off. It's also pretty. But in a few hours, we're taking my "old" car down to the dealership. It makes me a little sad -- that was my first car, we got it after the 18-wheeler accident, and I paid for it. Sure, I talked bad about it at times, but it always got me were I needed to go. Sigh... RIP, Nancy the Nissan.
Decoration. Rain. Family reunion / picnic @ Camp S.umatanga. Mud. But it was still fun! The rain actually stopped before the picnic, and held off until it was over. Then I got adult-napped and went bicycle-hunting with a sister and 3 boys.
Not sure what the next few weeks holds -- we may be entertaining Body Cast Boy and His Sister a bit, so there might not be much posting on the adoption front. We are 11 months and 12 days away from being eligible to apply. :)
