Caroline's cast

I forgot to mention in my update below that Caroline had her cast removed on Monday. She definitely cried when the guy got the saw out to cut off the cast. But, she recovered quickly. She sat much more still for the x-rays than she did when we went in originally. The bone is healed and she didn't want to walk on it originally. But, by the time we walked out from seeing the doctor, she was walking. We even went swimming today! So, she's getting back to normal. :)

A VERY busy week

Well, we had another fun, but busy week. My parents came for a week and Patrick's parents and Aunt Sue came for a long weekend. It was so nice having all of the help because we had Caroline's 3rd Birthday was on August 2. We had a cookout with probably 30 people (and probably about 15 kids) on Saturday. Caroline had a blast playing with all of her friends. It was a little hectic, but super fun. Then, on Sunday, we had Garrett's baptism. He did very well during the service, even though he was getting sick at the time. Then, on Monday, Patrick and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. We were able to go out to a very nice dinner by ourselves because my parents were still in town. We also got a new camera for our anniversary, so now we can publish videos. :) I hope you all enjoy them!

Fun at the Children's Museum


We took Grandma and Grandpa to the Children's Museum while they were here. We had so much fun. Grandpa was a little exhausted navigating his way through tons of kids and tons of strollers. He wasn't used to all the commotion!

Caroline had fun dressing up like different animals


Who's that good looking guy?

Mommy helped me stand up here. But, today, I pulled myself up onto a toy. Watch out Mommy and Daddy!

Mommy and Daddy took me to the Children's Museum the day after I started walking on my cast. It took 2 weeks, but she finally walked and we got to go the museum!
