Update on Daniel


We took Daniel for a check-up on his arm yesterday. The doctor says its looking good. It is still crooked, so much that I really can't stand to look at it! That's a grand thing for a mother to say isn't it?! The lady that took the x-rays(I know she has a professional name like x-ray tech, but she was such a pretty lady and so nice to Daniel I just couldn't give her a generic name like that) came back to us after the she took the first one and said, " Lets see if we can get one with your arm more straight!" I laughed and so did Daniel! It wasn't getting any straighter than it showed the first time!

So, we go back in 3 months for another x-ray and to be dismissed from his care. YAY!!! I'm so thankful for good doctors. Our doctor may not be the most personable doctor we could have found, but he is thorough and has done a good job.

We've noticed the arm that was broken has a lot of black hair on it. I mean A LOT, and it goes all the way to his hand. Very unlike his right arm, where the hair is light and stops around his wrist, like all non-monkey's. And the skin feels different on his arm. So, yesterday I asked the doctor about it. I prefaced my question with, "I'm sure this doesn't have anything to do with his arm, but instead his cast....." and he said no, that in fact it did have something to do with the break. Apparently there is more blood flow to his arm to help it heal and that affects hair growth and his skin. Who knew???!!!

So, there you go. The update on Daniel's arm. He is gaining strength in it daily and can move it really good. He has done his exercises daily, he has done so good through all of this.

All the kids received their report cards yesterday. They all got A's and B's. David got all A's, he's proud and wanted to boast a bit about it. The others quickly put a stop to that!! HA! They did good for their first quarter in a new grade level. I was glad, but they better do better next quarter!!! HA!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
