A different kind of Mothers' Day
Welcome to the Gun Show
While sifting through pictures to use on the blog I came across these and couldn't resist. As those of you with more than one kid can imagine, my little guy likes to do everything his big bro does. He is starting to mimic him in lots of ways - especially in his attempts to make you laugh by making funny faces and voices (I'm not sure where that comes from....).
After bath this evening the boys spent some time grooming in the mirror (with help from a step stool) and then put their muscules on display. I know their momma was always stacked (especially after lugging around all these kids) so I'm sure they are getting their muscles from their daddy. Disclaimer - I try to always keep my shirt on, especially when there is are pictures being taken.
This was a fun moment that was just perfect for a camera. I'm just glad they decided to pass on the baby oil and fake tanning cream before the big pose down.

Orange it is!
Tough "Break" on Valentine's Day
About an hour into our skating, our middle child fell and started screaming. We took all our skates off and our friend Mr. Mike took us to the nearest ER in his big red truck while our friend Ms. Adrianne (Mike's wife) headed home in our white minivan with the other two kids for bed time. At the time, I had a pretty good idea that he had broken his leg but expected a lot of bruising and swelling if there was a break. The outside of his leg looked fine so that just shows that accountants don't know much about broken legs.
After a short wait in the ER waiting room, our big boy was placed in a bed with a warm blanket which helped. He was also given a small liquid dose of Motrin (the kind you give for a fever) - it didn't help. He was in a lot of pain everytime his leg moved - especially during the X-rays - but he was very tough and generally kept all the nurses, doctors, and technicians entertained (especially after a shot of morphine). The highlight of the ER visit was 4 big stickers for his shirt - he actually claimed is was the shot of morphine which confused Mike and I.
It was a late night but finally got him into his bed after 11 PM with a temporary splint to keep him from moving it too much. I'm most sad about the upcoming soccer season. I hope that by the end of the season, he can get back out there but it will be hard to sit on the sidelines and watch the other kids play (especially when you are a goal scoring machine...). Hopefully I can post a cool picture of his cast (I'm hoping for green) by next week.
