A CAST!!

Those stinking monkeybars!!  We must have forgotten to feed Addie her banana because she wasn't very monkey like.  She fell on her wrist on Sat.  It wasn't feeling any better on Tues. so we took her in.  It was a small crunched area on the outside of her wrist.  That was 2 weeks ago.  All they had was white casts, a little disappointing for Addie.  So her artist mother used it like a canvas.  She loves it and is excited to show it to everyone.  She let her family and some of her friends sign the back.  Today she went to get it checked with James and came home with just a little brace.  The doc said it was healed enough to let her swim and that way she wouldn't miss out on too much summer.  I think that was the easiest and shortest cast and am thankful for a healthy happy family.  She said "Now she has something fun for show and tell next school year."

Hospital Peter

You can get a photo play-by-play of the water baseball game on Peter's sister Katie's blog at http://deargoodness.blogspot.com She got a shot of Peter on the ground just after the fall. These pictures were taken after the first couple days. You can see how much Lily had been missing and worried about her Daddy. You can just see the facial slackness and eye problems in these pics.
His blood thinness is finally in the correct range. It just needs to stay there and he will be able to be released. I can't wait to get back to my own house, but I am so glad this happened by his family instead of in Kentucky.

We made it back from vacation in colorado. We had a great time. The highlight was floating down the Arkansas River. We found a rafting company that would take Bowen even though he is only 4 (they said the youngest age was 5), but since he wasn't scared of water and fit in the life jacket they took us. We did a 14 mile float over a lot of rapids. At one point Bowen - who was dressed as a giant banana in his yellow wet suit- said "Now this is what I call white water rafting, let's get this show on the road!". He said this as we were going through the 'shark tooth' rapids, it was so rough our paddles would not reach the water! Brendan and Brice had a blast too. Brice had a wet suit on too and looked like a skinny little walking stick - he was funny.

We had lots of fun and are now dreading going back to work.

Easton Arwell McKay

Yippee!  He's here!!!         8lbs. 6oz.     20 in.     A healthy, happy baby.

Easton was breach when I went to my last appointment.  He had been head down and dropped for over a week.  So it was a surprise to us all that he decided to be a gymnist and flip around.  The doctor sent me right over to labor and delivery for an ultrasound to confirm his position and an attempt to turn him.  The turning attempt was put off a few times for other mothers who were in more emergency situations.  By the time we were ready to try I was in labor.  The turning didn't go well when there was only 4 minutes between contractions.  Blood pressure and heart beat dropped so we headed to a c-section.  All went well, it just wasn't what I was planning on.  I had to be doubly dosed with the epidural to be numb which made the next day or two miserable.  That stuff just stays in my system and I couldn't get out of bed for what seemed like forever.  Thankfully much better today so I can enjoy being a mommy again!
