lately


We went back to the Dr's a few days later to re-x-ray (is that a word?) Levi's arm. This new Dr was really smart and asked for both elbows so that we could compare good and bad. Turns out his elbow is NOT dislocated, and IS broken. Poor guy. His half cast is all he needs, though, and according to the specialist in Lethbridge who looked at the radiographs, if you were to break your arm this is the way to break it. Levi has been rather..... emotional at times. Very sadly he has fallen THREE TIMES onto his arm while playing outside or even lego at the table. That sure isn't helping things heal quickly. The last few days he has been more calm and I am grateful for a husband who can give blessings of peace, comfort and healing to a very sad little boy.

Enoch has been picking up reading recently. When we read scriptures at night he will sound out words pretty well. (The short ones, of course). The best was when he read people as pee-op-po-lee. We all laughed our heads off at that. He is really loving school and has fun helping Daddy around the yard. That kid is a shadow of Josh's, for sure. Loves to do absolutely anything with him.

Monet runs the roost around here. I admit I am looking forward to having a real baby and not just a self professed one in the house. Her hair is long enough for a little pony tail in the back; so cute! She is my shadow and likes to "help" me weed the flower gardens and plant seeds in the vegetable garden. She still hates it when I sing to her but she will now let me sing My Heavenly Father Loves Me, since there are actions to it. Potty training has been put on hold as she refused to use it after our last trip to Calgary. One day I will be diaper free...... one day........

This last is from Easter in Saskatoon.

Oh poor little Levi. I sure hope his elbow heals before the sun really shines. Your kids sound so cute and smart.

Sachie!!! I have loved getting caught up on your family! I think I totally missed that you went private? Or just totally missed all your other posts? Anyways, you have such a cute family! Congratulations on the new baby on the way, the move and new house and everything! So exciting.

But poor Levi! I hope his little arm heals fast. I'm also glad you were able to see a smart doctor the second time. Good gracious.

And I like to tell myself that someday I'll miss little diapered baby bums. I'm sure I will... at least that's what I tell myself to get through the stinky diaper days! :)
