March Happenings

We went into the Dr today and they actually removed Cam's cast! They took xrays again and said things looked great. He was a little tipsy for a minute but was running before we left the doctors office. The two weeks weren't as bad as I expected. For his first bath we wrapped his leg in two grocery sacks and duct tape it. Then we put a little stool in the tub to keep his leg out of the water. Cam held so still that we only had to do this once. From then on we didn't worry about wrapping it, Cam knew to just keep his leg up on the stool.

One of the boys' favorite activites is to go across the street and feed the ducks. In Camden's words..."feed duck bite bread". After our bread is all gone and we have convinced the boys the ducks are full, we venture over to the park.

One Saturday Mason and I rode our bikes over to the lake. It was fun to do something just the two of us.


These animals have also been a highlight in our home this month. Camden is OBSESSED with animals and just loves to watch these guys in our backyard. There are three baby sheep, two baby goats and one horse that have been added back there recently. Cam always has to know where the horse is at all times. We love the mini-zoo in our backyard!

I can't believe it! The beginning of fall I bought three brand new pairs of jeans for Mason and now look at them! Two are completely holey and the one is on it's way there. It's not like I let him slide down the drive way on his knees! Well good news Camden, looks like these aren't going to make it to the hand-me-down status.

Boys will be boys!

I knew this day would come sometime, but I didn't expect it before the poor kid is even two years old! Camden broke his foot. He and Mason were running around the house (which is what they are doing the majority of the day) when Mason pushed Camden from behind and fell down hard. He wouldn't put much weight on his right foot that first evening but by the next day he was walking on it, just with a limp. It did swell a little and when he did walk, he'd walk on his heel, with his toes up. I took him to a pediatrician who put a splint on it, but referred me to an orthopedic specialist. So today we went in and had a cast put on. Cam was quite the trooper with all the Xrays and things. He's already running with the cast on. Hopefully the four weeks will go quickly. I am NOT looking forward to bath time with this thing on! I do love the camo print cast though...so manly!
