Griffin at 2 months...
August brought us some garden goodness...
Daddy did Jonah's first eye exam this week and found out that he needs glasses! We were both super surprised cause he never complained about his vision. I must say he looks so cute in his new specs!
Back to school, back to school! Jackson's first day of First Grade.
Celebrating Ala Grandpa's birthday with family. Love all these cute cousins on their Grandpa's lap.

Unfortunately we started the summer with Jonah getting stitchs and Greyson in a cast. Because he is such a climber, he fell off of our high kitchen chairs and got a fracture on his elbow. :(
That was quite the story though...
It happened in the early evening and so I took him into the Urgent Care. They didn't catch the crack in the Xrays and tryed twisting his arm a couple times thinking it may be nurse maids elbow. He just screamed and was in so much pain when doing that I just knew something wasn't right. We left there with them telling me that it was just a sprain and if he wasn't better tomorrow to go to the pediatrician.
Of course, I went to the pediatrician the next day because he was still in a lot of pain with that arm. My pediatrician did the same elbow twist and told me that it is possible that "the tendon was out of place and now it is just sore." I've had two kids have nursemaids more than once and I KNEW that was bull. He then told me that "if it isn't better by tomorrow we will refer him to the pediatric orthopedic", to which at the point I asked him if we could just make the referral now and that I knew something wasn't right. He got a little peeved at me and told me that he's not the type of doctor who can just snap his fingers and get someone in that day and that I could always go to the ortho walk in clinic. I was a bit upset with him and went straight to the walk in clinic.
Mother intuition was RIGHT and they found the crack right away after doing Xrays. I wanted to call the pediatrician right then and chew him out! Don't worry, I didn't, but I do refuse to go see him for any appointments.
They put him in a soft split (the blue cast) and a week later in a hard bright green cast. He had to wear the cast for 4 weeks.

I just LOVE this picture of him. The filter on my camera made the colors so bright and beautiful and his little face just melts my heart constantly. Love my Grey-bug!
