Abe's FIRST trip to the ER

Abe has officially had his first trip to the ER.  The kids were playing hide-and-seek while I was getting dinner made and Abe's hand was in the door jam when Adi slammed it shut.  It amputated his poor little finger tip!  We're almost 3 weeks out now and it still looks awful.  I'm talking him to Evansville's wound clinic on Thursday for them to take a look at it.  I am so grateful for my good friend Leigha, who works. there.  She got me the appointment and will be there when we go Thursday.  I'll post progress in a few weeks! :)

Kawasaki

Brandon and the kids have been talking about catching a turtle since we moved into the new house.  While Adi and I were at VBS Brandon and Abe went for a ride on our Kawasaki and almost ran over the little guy.  The kids are loving feeding him and watching him in his little home.  This is the PERFECT pet for us right now.  A dog is just too much work for now! :)

Summer Fest 2014

It was a fun Summer Fest again this year; hot too!  It's always nice eating lunch at Kathleen's with Joyce and her family.  Adison has been asking about getting candy at the parade for the last 6 months!  She was so excited to fill her bucket (and her brothers too).  It is always a great way to offically start Summer!

Swim Lessons

Adison completed two weeks of swim lessons every day.  It was quite possibly the longest two weeks of my life!  Our poor little thing was terrified to go to the lesson.  She was always fine when I picked her up.  Her biggest fear was jumping in off the side of the pool.  She didn't overcome that fear, but she made so much progress in many other ways.  She learned how to put her head in the water, dive for the rings, kicking to move herself quite a bit, and float on her back!  We're so proud of you for finishing what you started!!!
