1. Conner broke his right forearm, both bones, by playing/climbing in a low-growing tree. I know I must be a horrible parent to let my son not only get hurt, but break both of his bones in his lower arm. Here is a picture of the x-ray that freaked me out and of course Conner in his dinosaur "slingy".
Of course this happened the day before Mother's Day! Conner is fine and has a blue cast on until June 10 and then we go in for more xrays.
2. We visited the Museum of Science and Industry. The boys loved it and had a great time playing with the stuff. They have a whole room just for kids to play...it was an afternoon well spent :)
3. Makenna is getting sooooo big :) She has started eating some solid foods, well what the experts call solid, I call it soupy, but anyway...she loves sweet potatoes, green beans, and bananas. She prefers mommy to feed her at 5:15pm and Lord help whoever has her if I am late getting home from work. She is smiling a lot more, has two top teeth that will be in by the end of the summer, and has already begun yelling at her brothers when they don't pay enough attention to her :)
As busy as we are here at home and all the stuff that Riley and Conner can get into...I wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything in the world.
Riley became the center of our world 5 years ago...in late July of 2004 when I found out I was pregnant with him. He is Papa's buddy and mommy and daddy's pride and joy. He has taught us so much about ourselves, our relationship, and how to be good people...because Riley is always watching :)
