Seven Years of Bad Luck and 15 Stitches

Mylie used Andi's long mirror for a slide down her bed yesterday and cracked the mirror in half. Seven years bad luck didn't take long to start. Five minutes after I came home for lunch, Mylie did a face plant onto our nightstand. She sliced a quarter inch cut in between her nose and lip. It looked deep, like a tooth went through. We called her pediatrician who said to bring her in instead of the ER. They checked and sure enough, it was cut straight through. They referred us to a plastic surgeon who sewed Mylie up. The inside of her mouth was really screwed up and took 12 stitches. The outside only had three stitches. The doctor was impressed that Mylie could sit still for the anesthesia shots. She was really tough. Tougher than me. I almost passed out.

Girls Night Out

Once a year my sisters and I take my Mom to the Melting Pot (fondue resturant). This year we took her on her birthday. We all look forward to this evening all year long. It is so fun. It is the type of dinning experince that you are there for about 3 hours. It is so fun to sit and talk, laugh and eat for 3 hours. And of course we do have plenty to talk about. I love this opportunity to hang out with 4 of my best friends. I love my family so much. I feel so blessed to have them all live so close to me. I am grateful to them and all of their wonderful examples to me.

The Best Nana

A couple of weeks ago Mylie received a package in the mail. It was from her Nana. First of all she was so excited that she actually got something in the mail. Of course she opened it right away. To her great surprise it was a snorkel set like Andrew got for his birthday but hers was PINK! I thought she was going to pass out she was so thrilled. These were her exact words, "Nana is the BEST BEST NANA IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!" Thanks Nana for making her day.

Names

Here are the list of names we are thinking of so far for a girl (in no particular order):

• Polly
• Claire
• Samantha
• Sybil

Here are the names we are considering for a boy:

• Wyatt

As of yesterday, number three should be about 5 weeks along. The due date should be around May 12th. Andi is still feeling great. We are very excited.

Be Safe With The Dragons

Every time I drop off Mat at work, the kids always tell him to be safe with the dragons. I don't know what that means, but it is cute.

This is a picture of our campout.

Guts

We were munching dinner at the park last night and the dinner topic landed on guts. Andrew cringed and covered his ears when we said the word “guts”. It turns out that is one of the words that give him the willies. He suggested that we use the word abdomen instead. I don’t know why a seven year old even knows the word “abdomen”. What are some of the words that give you the willies?
