I broke my little foot!


I'm thinking that the great deal on my new running shoes wasn't such a great deal after all. I broke my foot this past weekend (after my 3rd run in my new shoes) but didn't know it was really broken until Thursday when I gave in and went in for an xray. It's in a fiberglass cast now with a little removable boot that assists me with walking. Unfortunately, the cast is NOT removable!!! I have to wear it 6-8 weeks. At least I get to use the electric shopping cart at the grocery store. Too bad Old Navy and all my other stores don't have these handy carts, or ones that I can load all my kids into as well!!

pergola!!



Dave finished my pergola!!! I'm so pleased and can't wait to get started on our railing for the porch and fence for the patio. That's this weekend's project:)

Armada Fair 2009






We all made it to the Armada Fair again this year. It's the highlight of our summers each year here in Michigan. Gracie wore sunglasses the whole day since she was just a week post-op from her eye surgery. Wyatt went on all the rides too but cried everytime we took him on the merry-go-round. Georgia needs to grow 1 more inch before she can go on the big rides that she's been begging to go on for 3 years now. Must be 42 inches!!!

Our little Gracie turned 3!!










What a wonderful birthday celebration! The party started at 6 a.m. when Wyatt woke us all up. We opened presents and had eaten ice cream cake by 8 a.m. and then just played and played and played. The party was Tinkerbell themed. I think she's set now! Her new baby has 7 new outfits, a carriage, diaper bags, bottles and sockies. Gracie's new outfits and jammies all fit and she loves the books and new dolls and jewlery box. Dave has really put in quite a good deal of time today assisting Gracie with changing baby's new clothes...over and over and over again:)Georgia lucked out and got a gift too. She got "a husband for Barbie". That's what she calls Ken anyway. Thanks to all who made this day so special for her. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!! I can't believe how quickly 3 years have gone by.
