Dec. 1st 2008 Amelia's Birthday

Amelia's 3rd Birthday started off with Decorations on her bedroom door. Chris put them up after he got home from work. Problem was She was asleep in my room so she didn't even come out of her own bedroom door to see them. But she noticed them later and they enjoyed walking through the streamers in the door way all day. Eve and Mia helped me make the cup cakes. I opted for cup cakes since we were having friends over for cake and ice cream. They always love to help me cook stuff and they got to lick the beaters too. Eve and Mia's friends Jayson and Shannon (and Parents) came over about 6 o'clock and we had cake and ice cream and opened presents. Amelia LOVED her chalkboard easle. Everyone had fun drawing on it. They all played with balloons and had fun and us adults visited. It was a nice evening. We love Amelia and are thankful she has been in our family for 3 whole years.

Noah's PE accident

As some of you know, Noah had an accident in PE at school this past Monday. He collided with another kid and busted his top lip. The school nurse called and said it was more than a cut and we needed to come and get him. Chris went and picked him up and took one look at in and said "yep, you need stitches" To which Noah started to cry. Up to this point he had not cried over the injury. We call my doctor and she worked him in as her last patient. He did really good. We tried to prepare him and warn him about the "numbing part". That that would actually hurt more than getting the stitches. He did cry while they stuck him with the needle 3 times and we had to hold him still. But after that he was great. The below pictures don't do it justice. It really was nasty looking, especially on the inside. And of coarse me being the morbid mother that I am I wanted to take pictures of it.
