Poor girl...

Well, we seem to have a yearly tradition with Kerrington. Breaking bones. Yeah, not the type of tradition I'd ever hope to start. If you're wondering how this tradition started, let me take you back to January 2010. Kerrington was a mere 10 months old. Our baby had her leg rolled over on my our humongo dog and she got a spiral fracture. Luckily, she was healed within a week or two.

 

Let's move forward 1 year and about 5 months. In late June 2011, Kerrington flipped out of a buggy at Publix and smacked her head on the floor. This, obviously, was a much more substantial injury and required a stay in the hospital. We were extremely anxious that our girl was hurt, but praising God that His had was with her, and of course, she came away from that injury with no lasting side effects.

 

So, here we are, July 2012. We were just 1 year and about 14 days out of her last injury. Wednesday night, Drew had the kids out shopping for my birthday while I was at a get-together for MOPs. It was a pure accident (as was all the others), but she fell running around the van to get to the stroller (she wanted to push her brother). She fell, right on her shoulder. Drew said she cried instantly and was pretty hard to console. I honestly thought there was no way we could be going through this again, and really, really didn't want to spend the rest of the night in the ER. I knew (from my experience) that if she had really hurt something (like her collarbone), that there wasn't much they could do that night, so we decided to wait out the night, and if she still hurt in the morning, we'd take her to the doctor.

 

Morning time came (she slept in our bed just so we could keep her an eye on her) and she still was in pain. We get to the doctor, go get an x-ray, and of course, our poor baby has broken her collar bone. After a visit with the orthopedic doctor, we were given a sling, and instructions to not use her left arm for 4 weeks. If we could keep her immobilized for that long, she can have it off!

 

So, here we are...for the next four weeks! We are up for the challenge! 

 

 

We've determined that this girl is just plain clumsy! We hope to BREAK (pun intended) this tradition next year...

(quick) Orlando trip

 

Every year ther is a North American Christian Convention. This year, it was held in Orlando and we had the opportunity to take a quick trip down there (since it's only a short 4 hours). Drew was able to get us in to a character dinner, and let me tell you, K was thrilled! We were able to dine with Goofy and Pluto. Kellan, wasn't as thrilled! He didn't know what to think. Silly boy.

 

So Happy!

Um dad...get that thing away from me.

Yup, this about how she looked the whole dinner!

Our buddy, Pluto!

We took a stroll through Downtown Disney afterwards!

Sis gave Cinderella a hug!

Fourth Fun (staycation, day 3)

Happy Fourth! Today was day 3 of our staycation. We had a great morning at the dollar movie. The movie, it wasn't the greatest, but the memories were what counted!

 

That evening, we were invited over to our friends, the Reed's to celebrate our independence. It was a fun night full of food, golf carts, bug spray, football, glow lights, sparklers, and of course fireworks!

Staycation, day 1

The week of Fourth of July we were blessed with some time home with Drew. Instead of traveling somewhere, we decided to have a staycation here in Savannah, and do some things we normally don't get to do. First thing Monday morning, we headed to downtown Savannah and were able to hop on a Trolley! We toured downtown Savannah like we never had before. It was great to hear some history!

My baby (She always says she's my baby, and daddy's girl)

Kerrington was the picture-taker, pretty good job!

Arrrrrg! We ate lunch at the pirate house, and my mateys enjoyed some yummy pirate mac n cheese!

Whats a visit to downtown Savannah without a stop at city market and a run through the fountains?

We had a really fun first day of staycation, I must say, getting out and 'vacationing' then being able to come home was pleasantly nice! Looking forward to day 2!
